Jack was heavily conflicted about his date. No, that's not right. Jack was pissed. It was already past 8:30, the time both his date, Alynna, and Jack had agree'd to and yet she was running late, by only a minute. "This always happen" Jack says as he sighs and places his head into his palms. His whole body seemed to be drained of energy, he sat forward in the office chair he had been sitting in for the past 15 minutes and played with a pencil on the desk, thinking about the possibilities of what happened to his date.
On one hand, Jack wanted to be positive, people get held up, it's not surprising that Alynna would be late by a minute. It had only been a minute, dear god. On the other hand, Jack was thinking of what could have happened, in the worst case scenario. She could have been in a car accident, Alynna could have been raped and killed on the way to his house. Alynna could have decided that she just didn't like Jack enough to go on a date with him. This thought, the thought of Alynna abandoning Jack, was more hurtful to him than the fact that Alynna could have been killed on the way to his house. Jack had placed so much effort into socializing with her and with her friends, for her! If she simply decided that Jack wasn't worth it, well that would just mean that Jack was just abandoned, yet again, by someone he thought loved him. It's 8:35. No hope for jack.
