Reinette caught her lower lip with her teeth to keep from expelling any sort of breath or sigh. Anything that might be an audible reaction to how she felt watching Jack shatter the eye contact between them.
And still, she smiled.
She was concerned at the idea of Jack going out alone, to whatever the world had shaped itself to be now. She had purposely kept him all but isolated in the past two days, and wherever he went she could not imagine that would be the case. It would be a far cry to the world he was forced to survive the past fourteen months.
But Reinette also knew to point that out might be just as damaging. And so she was left to tilt her chin in brief assent.
"I believe I can manage," her smile still held fast. Her fingers suggested the photographs. "I can put these away."
