Just Perfect

Panel 1: Jillian and Tacitus chat at the bar. There’s a short glass in front of Jillian now full of something dark. Tacitus: “We can get you a new car, no problem. Any preferences?”
Jillian: “Something that can handle the roads up here. And snow, maybe. Does it snow here?”
Tacitus: “Occasionally.”
Behind them a couple enters through the door: a curvaceous woman with black hair wearing knee high boots and a black jacket over tight jeans and a low cut pink top, and a blonde man wearing a grey jacket and a red shirt with jeans.
Panel 2: Tacitus continues: “I’ll talk to my contacts and see what we can do for you. Might be a couple days, I” His words fade out as Jillian takes note of the woman who’s now walking past them.
Panel 3: Through a haze of sparkling pink we see a close up of the woman walking by as if in slow motion. Her eyes are deep blue, her eyelashes long and curled, her lips a deep, seductive red. She wears white earrings that dangle in the shape of droplets, and a thin white choker with a cross hanging off of it. Her black hair is blown back as if by a gentle breeze. She is gorgeous.
Panel 4: In that same haze of sparkling pink, Jillian stares, wide eyed and speechless. Faintly behind her it’s clear Tacitus is still talking, but she is also clearly not paying attention.
Panel 5: We return to reality as the woman finishes walking past them further into the bar. Tacitus is now looking at his phone as his words fade back in: “How does that sound?”
Jillian, still staring at the woman like an absolute idiot: “Good. Wonderful. Just… just perfect.”
