Another day, another stop at home. Jack had quickly given the place a bit of a clean, fed and watered and walked Roxy, before heading right on back to the hospital. He hadn’t even slept in his own bed in days but he honestly didn’t care about that. Today had been a busy day, he had dropped off a few paintings to people that were owing, he’d picked up a few more jobs, the usual sort of thing.
But now was the time to focus on his girlfriend, and he hummed to himself as he made his way through to her room.
Katelynn rested in her room, the TV on as she sketched on the table, the purple bruise yellowing down. She looked healthier but was becoming pale from not eating again, having been too busy sketching and things to really eat.
She smiled as she designed the new costume for when she became a hero, trying to draw some pictures of Six flying through the sky around her. She was still having trouble coming up with a proper name.
Her application to the new apartment was being reviewed and she was merely waiting for news on if she got it or not. She had seen a picture of it and was quite excited over how cute it looked. She was glad the building had elevators so she could get around.
Plus it would be closer to Jack.
Her heart quickened at the thought of him, a love-sick smile on her face. He had been so busy with work lately that she was starting to miss him. She hoped he was doing well.
Realizing her pencil was no longer moving, she continued drawing to distract herself.
And then there he was, it seemed as though all she had to do was think of him and he would appear. Jack walked in with a lunchbox in his hands.
“Katelynn!” he greeted her as he walked in through the door, quickly closing the space between them and before she could greet him he kissed her softly. “How are–Katelynn, you’re pale!” Jack said, concern lining his voice as he set the lunchbox on the bed. “Here, I made you some sandwiches. They’re your favorite!” he said, as he opened the lid and held them out to her.
