"Definitely," he answered with a grin. Jack took the bag after dropping a dollar into the tip jar and returning his wallet back to his pocket. His other hand immediately reached for Jane's as they walked toward the door. He pushed the door open with his hand that held the pastries and followed her through the exit. "It's been a wonderful night. I'd gladly do it all again."

Jack wasn't exactly old fashioned. New York often didn't afford him the opportunity to be. However, he did manage to tell a number of women no. There were some that would've had sex out in public if they had their way. He had been lonely at times but never that desperate. Jane would be different. He was glad for that. Flings weren't satisfying. He wanted more in life and felt alone in that until now.

If nothing more happened that night but sharing dessert, it would not have disappointed him in the slightest. Jack did have self control and no expectation that her invitation had been to sleep together. In fact, he expected the night would end soon after they ate dessert. He could also sleep--actually sleep with Jane and behave himself but neither needed to test those boundaries on their first date.
