Reinette could not think of a single argument she could make, no matter how sound or true, that Jack would give any weight to. That there was a great deal more to him than that? That what he had done for her alone countered any poster he might be referring to? Well, she knew it would hardly register.
He might even scoff, could Jack find the energy.
Because were the positions reversed, she knew she would be at a loss as well.
Only look at her performance when Jack had the misfortune to witness her ill.
She make a great deal of her appearance. Of masks and expectations and none judged her as harshly as she did herself. Reinette might not be able to fully understand what Jack was struggling with. But she was fairly certain she could at least touch it.
And she touched him. Her fingers moving to lightly rest over Jack's own.
