He chewed at his bottom lip, and looked away. “It is a s-scary thought…” it made any moment they had together their possibly last one. It wasn’t a nice thought. Jack reached over and placed his hand on her knee. “I, t-try not to think about it…?”
Katelynn did for the most part, every time she was at work and reminded about the portals. But she smiled at him and let out a deep breath. “I guess that’s all we can do..Bernard tried to comfort me about it and told me he didn’t think the portals would ever close but..”
She shrugged a shoulder, grabbing for her food again and tossing some of the bread for the birds to eat, watching the water move and rippling the image of the moon.
Jack nodded. He did his best to not ponder such things like that. So far his entire life had happened fairly ordinarily, nothing out of the ordinary either. He had found Katelynn and things just felt so much better for him. He felt braver. Stronger. Sure of himself. She did so much for him, did she know how much?
He moved closer to her, and he too tossed some bread to the birds.
They may be in different skin, but truly, nothing had changed at all. Certainly not his love for her. Nothing could change that.
