“My little habits huh?” Jack asked on a smirk as he made his way to the kitchen table, removing the band from the paper, and sat down before spreading it out on the table. “You two… still make me feel like I’m a kid sometimes. Which, ultimately, is a good thing.”
“Oh of course,” she said with a giggle, buttoning up her shirt and looking around for her jacket. “It’s always good to feel young. Gail even tells me sometimes we’re like a couple of kids~”
Katelynn definitely didn’t like acting her age. She wanted to act like how she felt and she still felt like she did when Gail was young and she could run. Sometimes she had her days where she couldn’t move well with her old bones but other times she woke up fine.
But that went for the two of them. Sometimes Jack didn’t feel his age, he didn’t feel the ache in his back, or the slight tremor his wrists had been picking up lately. He felt young, he felt half his age when he first met Katelynn. How beautiful she was, then, and now. The only thing he regretted was it had taken them until they were almost thirty years old before they finally found each other. All those lost years together.
But they had made up for it, oh my word had they.
He frowned over the news, and pulled away from the table. “I’m just having a quick shower.” he called, before making his way into the bathroom to do just that.
