Exton

Trying very hard to stop laughing, Ike's voice slides across the crowd.

"Ah.. the misadventures of Jack Stone! What do you think people? Give it up for Jack!"

The crowd applauds, still punctuated by laughter.

"Stay and play Jack?"

Jack nods and Tori leans in, finding out the type of music Jack knows, passing the knowledge on to the others. There is a laugh from Stoney and a cough from Ob. Ike hands her baby to Jack and takes her mike, stepping down to the dance floor.

Her soft voice entices the crowd. "Something a little slow for you all, for all the lovers, newfound and older, to start the night in a warm mood."

Ob downbeats and is joined by Stoney's keyboard. Tori and Jack are mere beats behind. Ike grins and winks at Monty, flexing her wings.

There's a kind of hush
All over the world tonight
All over the world
You can hear the sound of lovers in love
You know what I mean

She smiles, drawing her fingertips over a couple at the table closest to the floor.

Ike makes a circuit of the floor as she sings, finally leaning on the edge of the bar while the band plays the bridge. She grins at Monty and notices his eyes are watching something in the shadows. He looks at her and flashes her a smile full of promise, blowing her a kiss. Ike smiles and turns to the room, wandering to the stage among dancing couples.

So listen very carefully..............
