The light was bright as Reinette returned to her carriage, and she could not fathom what that meant for Jack. She saw him placed carefully in her carriage and a blanket placed about him. Then she personally drew the shades.
The stench they both wore was already filly the enclosed space.
It took the greatest restraint not order the horses sprung to see them carried to her Paris home at the greatest speed. But a single glance at Jack told Reinette that would not be possible.
That this journey would be difficult enough as it stood.
There was traffic on the roads, and Reinette held her breath with every stop and start of the carriage. Minutes stretched on far longer than they naturally should.
After several had passed she moved to the small amount of remaining bench at Jack's side, and placed a single hand on his blanket. Hoping it reached the man beneath.
