“You still look stunned that James finished his meal,” he commented. They were out, walking along the quieter streets of Seattle at ten p.m. after leaving James in the hotel to pursue one of the many women who’d caught his eye. “He told you he could do it. I told you he could do it. And yet you’re still shocked.” James had, in fact, eaten the entire meal and had two desserts. “I’ve never seen anyone eat that much in my life. Never. I just … I’m stunned. Completely stunned.” She laughed. “I swear I think that every single man and woman was in there watching him in awe.” She shook her head. “Seriously, that’s wild. Where did he put it all?” “Hollow leg.” Jason shrugged. He gave the hand he was holding a gentle squeeze and tugged her around a corner. “He’s always been able to pack away the food. Does it all the time. I knew it would be no challenge for him. Later, he might even get another snack because he’s still hungry. Been like that since I’ve known him.”
