Violet’s brows rose. While she’d heard some of that part of Six’s past, she didn’t know all the details, and the observatory would never have occurred to her (in her own dimension, two hits from an orbital death ray had long since assured that the entire cliff point was gone).
“I guess he could have. It can’t hurt to take a look, right?”
She got up from the couch, but turned to Katelynn. “You’d better stay behind for now. I know you wanna apologize, but, well, it’s better if me and Alice talk to him first.” She could have said more – that the two of them were closer to Six than she was, and that he probably wouldn’t want to see Katelynn right now – but she kept her thoughts to herself.
A glance at the obviously unhappy Jack made her bite her lip. “And I think Jack needs you here.”
She had been prepared to go with them, wishing to help find Six, wishing to help but she realized Violet was right.
Looking at Jack, she bit her lip and blushed, realizing they still had to talk things over from their fight. Or had it even been a fight? She wasn’t sure but she needed to let Six cool down. He probably didn’t want to see her right now.
And to think that hurt a lot.
Sighing, she nodded in defeat. “Can you..text me when you find him..? And let him know I’m sorry..? Please?”
Jack had kept quiet as the girls decided who was going where, and what was going to be done. A part of him felt relief beyond anything at the fact Katelynn should stay. She had barely been home these past two days and, honestly, they had to talk. He moved over to her, since she had moved towards the door before, and took her hand into his.
“D-don’t worry.” he whispered softly. “It’ll work… work out.”
