Reinette's arm found Jack's naturally, as she breathed in deeply to center herself after the travel. Each time it seemed to bother her less, but it was still unsettling.

She could not help but be aware of how much less the cool air bothered her. Even now, she would have battled such temperatures with a roaring fire. Spring or summer it did not matter.

"We shall."

And she gave Jack another of her best smiles, one far less practiced.

As they walked, Reinette fell silent. It was one thing to see electric lights and cars and all the modern amenities she had come to understand in Jack's home. It was yet another to see her own home altered by them. She took it all in.
