Chapter Eleven- A Day At The Derby
The next time Jack saw his future wife she was in the car sitting across from him, Clara to her side.
They were going to the first race of the season, something the Pulitzer family was know for doing.
Customary for the King to shoot the first pistol to start the race and then the winner received a kiss on the cheek from the reigning female monarch.
She looked nice, as did Clara and Davey was next to him, making small talk to Clara .
Clara tried to engage Katherine in their conversation. She spoke lightly and kept to herself.

Jack out his phone on his pocket and then smoothed out is suit and then stepped out of the car, he had to play mister romance and he offered a hand to Katherine.
She refused to take it and just held her clutch in her hand and walked proudly alone.
Photographers were present and when he saw it he threw his hand on the small of her back.
She rolled her eyes and they went to the royal family box.
Clara was with Davey talking about their bets and which horses they've seen recently.
Katherine took her seat and her father walked in, threw a dirty look at jack and walked to his daughter.
"You look lovely dear" he said sitting down next to her.
She smiled kindly at her father and grabbed her tea cup. "It's a wonderful day for the races who should we bet on?"
"Hmm" she pondered "well mama always said Clover, maybe just a little on clover" she smiled.
"I'll go put the bet on, perhaps you and Clara should vote for your old favorite" he smiled .

Jack took his seat next to Katherine and she kept her eyes on the grass, the race wasn't for another thirty minutes or so.
"What horse do you think will win?" Jack asked Davey.
"A good source of mine is saying Chariot down there" Davey replied.
Pulitzer came up into the box and sat down "Katherine" he said to his daughter.
"Yes ?" She asked.
"I think you and Jack should do the annual pistol, as soon as the wedding is planned and done next year Jack will be king" he Said.
Katherine sighed and got out of her seat and Jack did as well.
He spit his gum out and put his phone in his pocket then followed her.
Medda shot him a "don't fuck this up" look and then went back to her fan.
*
Jack and Katherine walked to the starting line and stood still during the national anthem and presenting of the horses.
They were lined up and ready to go when a blank gun was handed to jack.
Katherine stood behind him, one hand on his waist and the other on his free hand as he put the pistol in the air and the blank fired signaling the beginning of the race.
