Jack ventured his way over to the table with a plate and bread and some sort of unidentifiable jam. He gestured out for her to help herself, and as he sat down opposite, he began to do the same.
He ate rather quickly, and spoke around mouthfuls. Really his habits there hadn't changed.
With a half eaten bread roll in hand he gestured out in her direction. And without much preamble, he announced something that had sat silent.
"It's been 141 years since I last saw you, Rose. For me, I mean."
Another mouthful of bread, and he focussed on that as though it were the most important thing and not just taking his mind off everything else.
