The bus was waiting when they arrived. The bigger of their bags were placed into the carriage beneath the bus, but Jack kept hold of the backpack he carried since it had his camera and more personalized things inside. Showing their tickets they were allowed onto the bus which was more or less a tour bus since Anderson’s Field’s were quite a way out of the city. A few hours driving at least, though thankfully with only a few stops since there wasn’t ‘much’ out there.
“Oh here…” Jack said, finding two seats somewhere near the back. He let Kateynn move in first before he sat besides her, putting his bag down between his feet.
“Excited? I am.” he admitted on a small, giddy smile. He hadn’t gone home in ages and now he was with his girlfriend. They could stay in his family home for however long they wanted, and head back into town easily.
She had looked outside the windows, peeking from behind the little curtains the bus had before looking back at Jack and smiling broadly. “I am too! I can’t wait to get there already and see your house. What’s it like there? Streams and big trees and open fields and grass?” she asked, reminiscing on pictures she had seen in magazines of big houses.
And it wasn’t long before the bus began to pull out of the station, Katelynn taking out her camera to take quick pictures of the depot before they left.
He smiles at her as he watches her take her photos, watching the world outside begin to slowly move. Jack’s hand found her leg and he touched her, since her hands were busy with the camera he had gotten her.
“Mmhm. We have a stream running through the land. Large trees that Aloysius tried to teach me to climb but I was too scared. Bonnie’s garden is out there too, but seeing how it’s between winter and spring I’m not sure what kind of state it’ll be in… maybe a bit overgrown but it’s still home.” he explains gently.
And they can visit Gail. But she doesn’t know that.
