Gavin nodded in understanding as Jesse explained how to use the item. It was absolutely perfect—at least in design. He wouldn’t know about how well it worked until it was used and he hadn’t planned on needing it right away. Just a nice item to have on standby. He gave it one last appraising look and set it back in the box and debated tossing it off for Karl to catch but his friend always hated when he did such things to him. Besides, they had a lovely new friend to consider and Gavin didn’t want to scare her away. So he pocketed the box for the time being. Karl could carry it later.
As she asked for his name, Gavin gave her a wide grin. “I wouldn’t have given it if you asked sooner.” He wanted to see the woman’s work first and see what she was like in person before committing to anything, and that included giving a name. But he was pleased with everything thus far and felt she would be good to have on his payroll in some form. Once more he was pulling out his wallet but this time it was to remove a business card. The wallet was tucked away and the card presented to Jesse between two fingers to save her from jotting down notes. “Gavin Piers. This is the number we’ll keep in touch with from now on as I would like to commission you for a few more of these once this one has been tested properly and perhaps another unique idea or two.”
They had settled into a house not too long ago and while they did have means of protection already in place, Gavin had some creative ideas he wanted to see if Jesse could make reality. But those discussions could wait. He wanted to think about the details a bit more but also ensure she was back in top form in case this project had worn her out. He pulled out his silver Gotham pocket watch that was deceptively minimalistic on the outside as all the intricate details was hidden within. It was what he often selected from his collection when he was dressed down for more casual affairs. A check of the time had him nodding before standing as he tucked it away.
“I’ll be in touch. It’s been an absolute pleasure, Jesse.”
