"But you cannot make yourself believe it," she finished carefully but without any apology. To pretend that she was unaware of what he referred to would be disrespectful to what Jack was going through. There was far too much honesty between them.
And honesty would remain. She would not coax Jack into some semblance of how he felt he should be through placating words and falsehoods. It was far too likely to fail him later.
"So you snap your fingers, and you wish to be Jack again?" Her brow knitted slighted as Reinette's gaze moved over Jack in a gentle caress. "Of course it is not that simple. You are not that simple. How could you be?"
Something in her posture softened slightly. It might be her words. In might be the memory of their last day in the labyrinth. It might simply be Jack, and how she cared for him.
"We discussed this, do you remember? There is more to you than that."
Reinette smiled up at him.
"Do not worry on where you are not but see where you will be. Sort in through. Find your way. That is what this place is for, is it not? Why we are here?"
