“I’m still going to be here until they let me go… that will be a few days at least, and they won’t want me on a bus for too long either…” Jack mumbled as he touched her, holding her close, loving this even if his state of body was in such a broken state.
“I’m sorry Katelynn.” he whispered, quietly. “I ruined this.”
She shook her head rapidly, a small groan escaping her lips. “No l-love! No..You didn’t, okay? At least..I mean..at least I can still be here with you..right? That has to count..We’re still together..It’ll only be a few days..just a few…It could have been so much worse and it wasn’t.”
He could have broken his neck in the fall. God she didn’t even want to picture the result of that.
He smiled faintly, and since he couldn’t move his head to kiss her he lifted a hand and pressed a kiss to his palm, before pressing his palm to her cheek gently. “It could have been. For… for that I’m grateful I mean. I can still feel everything. That’s… pretty big, seeing how far I fell. But let’s not talk or think about that.”
