-She nearly lost her nerve, shaking badly- ★ -was this selfish? It felt like it- “T-Thought–to ask for a k-kiss? N-Never mind.”

[Oh god. Jack swallows painfully, daring to hope that this means they might still have something. He wants so badly to pulls her into his arms and kiss her over and over, but he isn’t willing to go that far – he’s too scared of being rejected again. So he reaches out and cups her cheek, and kisses her tenderly on the forehead.] Always, Katelynn.
