Violet smiled warmly. “I’d really like that. I’ll definitely take you guys up on it.” She really did like the idea. Most of the time, Violet either found a place around the city to hang out when she wanted to draw, or spent time at the garage when she wanted company. But she really liked Jack, and Katelynn, and she didn’t have many friends she could just hang out with and … well, feel normal.
But another time. She could see Katelynn nuzzling the blue man, and the feelings she was sensing from the two of them suggested that they should have some time alone right now. She finished her water, and got to her feet, picking up her shoulderbag. “In the meantime, though, I need to go finish up some errands. I hope I’ll hear from you soon, though?”
“Oh y-yes.” Jack said, face flushing just a little from when Katelynn had nuzzled him like that. She had been gone over two days, of course he’d missed her and was thrilled to see her back to the way she was, back to the woman he’d fallen in love with but of course he would still love her no matter what. Sure it would be weird, if she’d been stuck as a… leafy.. monster thing but he couldn’t have abandoned her. He walked to the door and opened it for Violet, smiling still. “You t-take care, Violet.”
Katelynn waved at her as Violet exited, feeling her heartbeat increase now that she was alone with Jack; save for their two dogs who had been out of the room at the moment.
Probably sleeping I guess… she thought, watching Jack and knowing she had to explain herself now and yet not knowing where to begin, her eyes turning to watch him closely and wait to see what he would say. She felt her whole body warm up as she waited.
He looked at her for a moment, his expression turning to one of uncertainty. Jack didn’t like talking to Katelynn about what she does wrong; she plays the victim card very well, and he always falls for that trap but they had discussed this. The last time she had left a note and vanished she’d ended up locked underground all night until Six sought her out for him. Lifting a hand, Jack rubbed his arm with his palm slowly. “S-so… why d-did you vanish this time…?”
