*blushes at the compliment, touching her cheeks. She wasn’t used to compliments* T-Thank you Jack. You’re really sweet. *walks over and gives his cheek a gentle kiss*
*grape man has temporarily replaced jack, who just stands there a while before he smiles and shakes his head* n-no i’m not sweet i’m just honest. i don’t… i don’t see why you can think you were ugly, or, or tried to make yourself that way. *he pause, before looking at her, concern in his eyes* were… were you picked on a lot?
*Her eyes cloud over a bit, her head lowering* N-No…I just..didn’t want to be noticed…*Shakes her head, trying to give him a smile* But..I’m okay now..
…oh, o… okay…? *he wants to ask what happened but he knows how painful it can be talking about a past you didn’t want. he reaches out hesitantly and brushes his knuckles against her cheek, barely. its a hairsbreadth touch* i’m glad you’re doing okay now, katelynn.
