Sally let go of him and took a step back as Jack’s eyes slowly opened. The man was foggy, half awake, half asleep, but he does hear Katelynn’s voice and turns his eyes to where she is, unfocused as he is.
“Hey… Katelynn…”
“Love…” she whispers, kissing his forehead gently. “I’m sorry…We must have been so loud…” She shouldn’t have raised her voice like she did but she had been trying to defend Jack to Sally, trying to explain how different and possibly better his life was in Metro City.
She decided not to mention the villains to Sally. Why worry the girl more?
“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.”
