Something altered to just more than touch. But still somewhat less than a true kiss. It allowed Reinette to notice the smaller things. The sweet, salty taste of his mouth when unaltered by wine or a meal. The heat of Jack's breath as it escaped and mingled with her own. The thrum of his heartbeat just beneath her fingertips.
She was able to soak in his presence. Jack was there, she was certain of it. A realization he should soon come to as well.
Her face tilted back to a more conversational distance, even as her hand remained pressed lightly against Jack's chest with his hand over her own.
"I must confess I am curious to see exactly where there takes us."
A quiet, but unmistakable reminder. Jack was far from the only uncertain one here. He was not alone.
