"Oh no no, see you're missing the most important thing." Jack said, standing in front of her before moving himself down to the bed to sit beside her.

Already he was commanding the space without even noticing it. His back was straight and his arm a little forward, leaned towards her and around her slightly. Fencing her in, but not blocking.

"The most important thing of all."

He smiled.

"Reinette."

Because without her, right now, he was certain. There would be no Jack.
