Smiling with the warmth of the hug and trying to soak it up as much as possible, Gail closed her eyes as she allowed herself to enjoy it. To think she had a chance to meet him young like this; she just couldn’t stop being happy about it.
“I’ll let him know about you first. I know he’s going to tease me about breaking my own rule but…sure dad. I’ll give you his address and phone number and mine too and we can arrange something.”
It actually excited her because it almost felt like a reunion and it almost made her feel sheepish for the way she had treated the past version of her mother. She was going to have to apologize for that.
Jack nodded. “That sounds like a good idea. I-I can imagine this must be pretty weird for you two as well,” he said, with a weak chuckle.
He gave Gail one of his business cards (a very old-fashioned version compared to the ones he used in the future), and had her write hers and Ulric’s contact information on another. “I hope I’ll hear from you two soon?”
Taking the card between her two fingers like a ninja holding a shuriken, Gail smiled at him tenderly. “For sure! We’re not too far from here actually by where Uncle Six lives.” She was definitely staying away from him though. It was enough to freak out her parent’s but her uncle’s? She hadn’t even bothered looking for her Uncle Mets yet.
Jogging over to the door, she winked at him. “You and mom take care of yourself too. Don’t make me have to come save you since my existence hangs in the balance.” She chuckled, knowing her father was definitely less thank likely to get in trouble with a villain. “Say hi to her for me too.”
And with a salute she was out the door and running back to tell Ulric the good news, feeling lighter than she had in the past few months.
Jack chuckled at the comment, but it was still worrying to realize that a wrong move could change Gail’s existence. “I’ll do my best. And yes, I’ll tell her about you.”
And, wondering how exactly he was supposed to explain all of this, he headed off to find Katelynn.
