FINCH WAS flipping through an art book that was on display, admiring the art that was in it. The sketches were beautiful and complex and she wished that she could draw a lick.

"Do you draw?" Jeremy asked from besides her

The girl laughed, "Uh, my stick figures are definitely the best around." She said honestly, "Do you?"

"Yeah, I think something might be in here." The boy said leaning closer to her to flip through the pages, "Oh, yeah, here." He said pausing at his art

Her eyes widened as she stared at the picture looking in between it and the besides her, "You drew this, Gilbert?" She asked him in awe

Jeremy rubbed the back of his neck, using the other hand to lean on the table as he bent his neck to look down at her, "Yeah, I mean it's that great or anything."

"Are you kidding me?" She asked hitting his chest, "Jesus, Gilbert, you and I need to work on your self esteem." Finch stated as she looked back down at the artwork, "This is fantastic."

"Thanks but it's not one of my best."

"If this isn't your best I want to see your sketch book." She said, turning around to poke him in the chest only to realize how close the boy was to her face

She laughed nervously, licking her lips and swallowing quickly as she blinked up at him, "You have to let me look -- uh, look at your sketch... sketchbook."

"Yeah, yeah I'll have -- have to." Jeremy said smiling softly

Fawkes stood a ways away with Jenna Sommers, Jeremy's legal guardian, "They're cute." He said to her

"Yeah, they are." She agreed, "I think Finch could be good for him, a nice and welcome change from Vicki."

"Vicki wasn't too bad -- minus the drugs but Jeremy could be good for her too." Fawkes said

"Wanna scheme with me?" Jenna asked with a smile

"Definitely."
