This is a REALLY short fluffy moment between Jack and Sally. When I say short, I mean SHORT. I had this idea for awhile and I'm excited to FINALLY be able to post it on here.
This takes place pretty much right after the film ends. Jack takes Sally back to his house.

They sat in front of the crackling fire place. Sally, wrapped in a blanket, leaned her head against Jack's chest with her eyes closed. Jack draped a long, protective arm around her shoulders and rested his head on top of hers. Not too long ago, Sally could only dream of being here. Like this. With him. She was afraid to open her eyes in case this really was a dream.
She reluctantly opened them when she felt Jack shift beside her. He leaned over to grab his mug of hot cocoa off the coffee table in front of them. He smiled at her and grabbed her mug and handed it to her.
"Jack?" She kept her eyes down at the porcelain mug of sweet, brown liquid.
"Yes Sally?" He responded gently
"Did you really mean it?" Her voice was almost a whisper.
"Mean what?"
She slowly lifted her eyes in his direction and briefly made eye contact. She was nervous. Afraid. She kept replaying their moment on Spiral Hill. How he sang to her. How he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. But her insecurities and self doubt fought with that precious moment inside her head. It was a raging war. She wanted to believe he meant it. But it had been an emotional night, for everyone in their town. She was afraid he just got caught up in the moment.
"When you said "always and forever?""
"Sally,"
Her name flowed from his lips like smooth silk. When she didn't look at him, he placed a long, bony finger under her chin to capture her attention.
"Believe me when I tell you," he shifted closer to her peering into her soft eyes. "if I had a heart, it would beat, only for you."
Sally closed the gap between them and they shared a tender kiss.
