“That’s okay…” he whispers, letting his eyes shut as she kissed his forehead. “I was… going to wake up… anyway..”
“Hi, Jack. Hi…” Sally greeted gently. “I just wanted to come see how you were.”
He turned his eyes to look at her, looking surprised by her presence. “O-oh! Sally, h-hello…!”
“Always getting into trouble.” she smiled softly. “But you’re being looked after well I can tell.”
Katelynn blushed, taking his hand gently between both of hers, watching Jack’s face. “Always. I’ll always look after him the best I can,” she whispered, ducking her head a little to avoid both of their eyes.
God but she still felt so awkward with Sally here. The woman had confessed something private and personal to her and she wondered what Jack would think of it. Perhaps…it would be best if he knew. Maybe then she could get over him?
Giving his hand a kiss, she let him go gently and walked to the door. “I’ll…let you two talk I guess and go get some water…I’ll be right back..” And out the door she went, her heart hammering in her chest.
Of course she didn’t eaves drop.
Of course she went outside for some fresh air, leaving Jack and Sally to talk.
Though, not five minutes Later, not even that, Sally left the clinic. She didn’t even look at Katelynn, instead she hurried down the street and was soon gone from sight.
