And they held each other, both needing one another at this time, unable to pull away. No matter what it was that life had in store for them, be it a baby or not, Katelynn would have to know by now that Jack would be there for her, never faltering. He may stutter, and mumble, and shy back at the idea of large gatherings but she was someone he would never let down for as long as he lived.
“Thank you..for loving me..” she whispered, still holding onto him as the bus continued onward toward home.
Toward whatever future lay ahead of them.
“Thank you…” was all he could say, heart preparing him for whatever lay ahead. As long as she was there, he would manage.
He knew it.
