"The bag's coming with me, but nice try," Eli said as he leaned in and kissed Shannon on the cheek, making sure the bag was kept away from him while he did. "Behave while I'm gone. And that's directed at both of you."

Jackie chuckled as Eli walked off and then turned her attention back on Shannon. She definitely thought he was attractive and was almost disappointed he was Eli's, but not too much since she was quite happy with Jay and didn't want to change that.

"Now what were we talking about before, collars?" She didn't give him much of a chance to respond, plowing on even if they hadn't been. "You're new to the scene and Eli probably hasn't told you this, but what he's getting you is comparable to a wedding ring. What you have is something he thinks will be long lasting and is definitely something he doesn't give out freely. You must be something special for him to do that for you, boy."
