Avi took them out for dinner at a real restaurant, wanting them to have a nice dinner for a change. They'd invited Jake both for Alex's enjoyment, as well as Mitch's. Kirstin wasn't nearly as fascinated with Jake as the other Omegas were.
Once the eight people were seated, Avi and Kevin at the heads of the table, Alex's eyes almost never left Jake. Jake analyzed his face for a moment, reaching out to gently touch the skin around Alex's hurt eye. "It looks healed... Almost completely. How does it feel?" Alex just smiled at him. "It feels fine, thank you." "Fine? Fine like, 'good'? Or fine like, 'normal'?" He paused to think. "Or fine like, 'I'm not really thinking about your question because for some reason I keep staring at you.'" Alex giggled. "It might be that last one." "Might be?" "It definitely is."
