And look who was just arriving on time to help her into her new home. Jack, dressed in the usual turtleneck and jeans, this time with a scarf due to the cool breeze drifting through the air, comes out of the elevator to see Katelynn there with the nurse.
“Katelynn, s-sweetie…!” he greets her as he approaches, reaches out and touches her shoulder. He isn’t nearly brave enough to kiss her in public, or with someone else there, though he wishes he was. “Today’s the big day…!”
She smiles brightly at him, Katelynn no longer dressed in an ugly hospital gown, hair actually done up in a bun with a cute little clip. It was the first time she had ever done her hair up like this but she decided to try something new, to see how it would look on her. A few hairs framed her smiling face. She wore a simple long sleeved dress in a combination of sapphire blue and purples.
“Yeah! I’m finally getting out! I can’t wait to see what my new apartment looks likes. Though I know it’ll be empty for now since I haven’t moved anything. It’s going to be quite the busy day,” she said, pretending to lament.
“Very busy. But I managed to find somebody willing to help us!” Jack said enthusiastically as he rubbed her shoulder. God. He loved touching her. Was it because of what transpired between them on New Years? Surely not, he had already loved touching her, holding her hand, and she looks so beautiful. So say it. “You look b-beautiful today,” he complimented. “I haven’t seen you with your hair up like this…”
The nurse couldn’t help but smile at this. Just looking at how they were acting around one another told her they deeply adored one another. It wasn’t something you ran into a lot, even here in a hospital. “So you are good for getting her back to your apartment from here?” she asked Jack.
“Oh yes. I have a taxi waiting outside. W-with wheelchair access.” Jack said.
