Jensen Sterling pushed open the private room door first, then led Mia Sutton inside. The few people inside, probably bored from waiting, had already started drinking. Clark Jacobs was just about to take a sip when he saw Jensen come in.
He immediately bounced up from his chair: "Hi Jensen, hi sis-in-law."
His stance was impeccable, but his eyes darted around, refusing to meet Jensen's gaze, especially since he'd been talking behind Jensen's back just moments before.
Jensen glanced at his fidgety demeanor, then turned to Mia and said, "Let me introduce you, this is Brian Rhodes, and this is Jonah Quinn, they're both my friends."
Then he glanced sideways and said lightly, "This is Clark Jacobs, you've met him, he's the one who was speaking to you earlier."
Clark: "..." That last part was really unnecessary.
After a brief introduction, Jensen held Mia's hand and addressed the others, "This is my wife, Mia Sutton."
He said it so naturally, without a hint of pause.
