Her entire person warmed at Jack's words. Even moreso because Reinette did not believe that had been Jack's original intention. It was his own love for travel and adventure. And his own deep understanding of the places that he visited that was in his words. That she felt them deeply as well was merely secondary.
He was not trying. He merely was.
It was one of the things she found most appealing about him.
"And Jack will always be Jack."
Reinette felt those words as well. It did not matter that it was not truly his name. Or the costumes and masks they both favored. Jack? Was simply Jack. There was very little chill remaining in the air.
Her gaze cast upward towards her home, now lit more brightly than she had ever seen. Reinette could not help the pride that swelled within her.
"She is still here, Jack," she said softly. "She is still beautiful."
