True, Luke played the meeting of Joshua Cloud with coolness; a coolness that came from some untapped source he couldn't begin to find again were he to go looking, in earnest, for it. Inside he was practically a squealing girl wanting to ask for an autograph and even see if Michelle or Plum had a camera on them so he could get a snapshot with the bloke. Though Luke had no love for Puddlemere United or Ballycastle, he had levels of respect for Joshua Cloud that couldn't be touched.

The man had won two Dangerous Dai Medals! Luke knew, without question, that were he to make it professionally, it would be only a matter of time before he gathered that honor himself.

The limist of his ego knew no bounds.

Slipping his hand to Michelle's waist as she moved closer to him, he grinned at Josh. "I made a reservation for three, but I'm sure that we could get an extra chair added."
