[His face brightens slightly.] O-oh! That’s good! [He hoped they hadn’t met because Katelynn had been doing anything wrong. Then again, this was Katelynn. She didn’t even jay walk, or litter. Not that he did that, but still.] We, we’ve only been together since December twenty first b-but she’s really wonderful.
That’s great! [she replied with a smile. They do seem like they’d be good together. As long as one of them’s actually bold enough to make a move, of course. She suppressed a grin at that thought.] I hope you guys’ll keep on being happy together. [If things had been different, she might have suggested the two of them double date with her and Matt, but given who Jack was, who Matt was, and various other factors, she immediately knew that would be a bad idea.]
So do I. [He reaches for the photo again, once he has it he stares down at it with quite possibly the biggest puppy love look Danielle’s ever seen on a ‘Megaminds’ face in her life. Jack taps the photo gently, tone dropping slightly.] B-before I met Katelynn I never used to leave my apartment… I was, I was such a recluse. M-my early life was full of suffering b-because of what I was, so, so I was more or less willing to paint my life away b-but then she came along and began t-treating me so differently to anyone else. She got me o-outside and m-meeting people. I don’t th-think she realizes just how much s-she’s done for me…
