She did not make a moment of the statement. Seek his eyes or insist that he understand just how true she held the words. Instead they were light, and almost casual as Reinette moved into the kitchen to turn on the modern, glittering sink.

Under the water Reinette rinsed away the sticky remains of the ice cream from her hands. She might be out of her time, but certain expectations remained.
She looked over to Jack just in time to see Jack take a bite from pizza that in her mind was impossibly old. She might of -- indeed she did --actually wrinkle her nose at the thought of what that must entail.
"No," the word came rather abruptly as she still considered the pizza. "Thank you, no. I am fine."
