It wasn't as if Nora was going to be in town for too terribly long this time, and the more she thought about it the more she realized that involving another in her and Jack's playtime was courting danger; her Andrei was a sweet boy, make no mistake, but he was a baby and he was new to this lifestyle and what's more there was always the slight possibility that something might go wrong.  While her bodyguards were disposable, her carefully-picked seconds were not, and he was in the latter category.

But she was Nora Gainesborough, and she didn't get nervous, not really, so after making the appropriate arrangements, she had Jack summoned to her place.  Until all was well and settled, it'd just be the two of them, and it was in that spirit that she moved to the door, swinging it open before Jack had even finished knocking.

Jack had been looking forward to this quite a bit, and thus actually, for once turned up on time.

He paused with his hand still raised from knocking when Nora opened the door suddenly on him, and gave her a wry look as he stepped through into the room.

"Anyone would think you're excited to see me!" he commented, with warm amusement, reaching for her hand to kiss it extravagently.
