“I know… it’s one of the things I love about you but… in this skin,” he touches her cheek gently. “You need to be more careful… okay?” Jack asked gently since the last thing he wanted was her getting into trouble or being insulted by someone. If somebody dare speak out against her… well. He wasn’t sure what he’d do, but it probably wouldn’t be good.

Roxy was sniffing along the pier as well, the smell of the water, the food, the people; all of it exciting to the little black pug.

She smiled, leaning up quickly to kiss his nose and trying hard not to stumble as they were walking after all.

“It’s okay..I don’t mind..they can say whatever they want about me. They don’t know me and I really have heard worse in my regular body.”

In fact, remembering that her mother was still out there looking for her made her shudder but she squashed the thought away, not wishing for negative thoughts to ruin their evening.

“Oh look a candy store!” she exclaimed, pointing. It was pink, with a huge fake ice cream stand by it and there was a taffy machine on display, rolling white taffy. It looked so cute!

What masculinity Jack had told him to not go near the place. It was pink! Entirely pink! With lollies and sweeties and candies all on display in the window. Besides, he didn’t like sweets that much. Jack observed the store in silence as Katelynn pointed at it. 

Roxy, too, peered at the store before snuffing her nose at it.

“You want to go in?” Jack asked, forgoing his withering masculinity to keep his girlfriend happy.
