They are finally done eating and the waiter brings out the check. Jasmine then reaches her purse to pay her portion of the bill and Joshua looks at her and asks her what she is doing. She tells him that she is about to pay for her food.
Joshua glances over at her and says "when you are with me you will never pay for any fucking thing."
She looks at him with a smirk on her face and then she thanks him for paying. They then get up from the table to leave.. he tosses his tip on the table and then they walk out. Jasmine then tells him how good her food was and thanks him again for paying.
He says to her "it isn't that big of a deal" and they start walking home.
As they begin walking the sun starts to set and more people appear. But this particular group of people playing the saxophone, piano, and guitar caught their attention. They just stand there and listen to the wonderful harmony of their instruments. While they are standing there admiring the talent that these men have.. Joshua notices that Jasmine looks like she is shivering. Joshua asks her if she is cold and she says no she's good. He then tells her that she isn't and he takes his blazer off and puts it around her. She thanks him and she begins to start walking away.
