He smiled and sighed as she got up. Oh to spend an entire day in bed with her, to do anything they wanted. His mind, the gentleman that it was, showed him the images of last night and just how bold he’d suddenly gotten with her. Jack blushed brilliantly and set his plate aside as he got up. “I’ll do the dishes, then.” he informed her, “You can have the first shower. Be careful the water does stay a bit cold for the first minute, but it’ll heat up!”
“O-Oh..” Katelynn came back, picking up her dishes. “Sorry! I forgot the dishes..sorry!” She rushed out of the room with them, trying to hurry to the kitchen to wash them. She had completely forgotten about them, so lost in her sadness over saying goodbye to the house.
Setting them down carefully, she began the wash, the water coming out as cold as he said it would.
Jack had to laugh as he followed her through to the kitchen, chuckling gently, before he gingerly wrapped his arms around her from behind and kissed the back of her head. “I could have done them.” he whispered quietly. It was no bother for him, really, to do domestic things. When he had grown up here he had his chores to do, his weight to pull, and he enjoyed helping out around the house.
