Jack had hoped that it would not be her to return. Hoped that for the faint vanity he had left, she wouldn't be the one to have to examine him in such start contrast.
But there was nothing in him that could protest but for a weak murmur of "Please," and , "you shouldn't be doing this."
The clothes he'd worn were barely that now, the same clothes he'd tugged into getting out of Reinette's bed that morning over a year ago.
"You'll get sick," he said quietly, and though he knew that she might dislike this fact being pointed out, it was a valid one, and he worried even now.
It dawned on him then that the last time he'd seen her he'd spent time in a bath. Oh so different then though, so different in so many ways. And the machinations of the last 14 months had already been set in place then. If only he'd known.
