Jack wasn't one that would gladly admit to any sort of weakness or panic, and in truth he wanted Reinette to be able to leave and come back.
But then he wasn't sure how possible that might be.
His heart seemed to speed a little, and all because she'd gone. Because she'd stepped away and it was hardly any distance at all. But then he was worried, and were he honest with himself he'd admit that. What if the kings men came here? What if he got taken back again? 14 months in a room alone was a long time, and the prospect of repeating that, even for a moment, wasn't a welcome one.
And so he found himself talking, perhaps even before thinking.

"Don't go," he said on an urgent breath out.
"Lets go," he added, "Lets go now. From here."
