“Either w-way, you’re always welcome here.” Jack said with a genuine smile. “You can b-bring your art book and just lounge on a b-bean bag and draw what you want a-and y-yeah.” he refused the offer of water, though. He wasn’t thirsty.
“Oh that’s a good idea!” Katelynn bounced a bit, looking like an excited puppy. “Hang out here whenever you want. You’re totally welcome to.”
Not that she disliked being alone with her fiancee, of course not, but she hoped having someone else around, a friend, would be good for him. It warmed her heart he was inviting her to stay, nuzzling her nose slightly against his cheek for a moment before pulling back.
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.”
