The next day Jack got up and took a shower as usual. The night before he had fallen
asleep on his couch watching an old movie. Looking at the time, Jack figured he could get ready
and go to Will's office for a while. For some reason, today he didn't feel like moping around.
~Will's Office~
"Connie, can you bring me those files, please?" Will Truman asked his secretary.
"Right away. Oh, and Will, Jack is here to see you," came Connie's reply over the intercom.
"Jack!" Will thought."I haven't seen him in forever!"
"Send him in, Connie."
A few seconds later Jack walked into the room, a slight bounce in his step. Will smiled and went over to greet him.
"How are you?" he asked as they embraced briefly.
"I'm doing okay," Jack responded when they pulled back. Will was glad to see that he was also smiling.
"What brings you here? Will asked as he sat back down behind his deck and motioned for Jack to take a seat. "Grace and I haven't seen very much of you lately."
"I know," Jack replied. "I..I haven't felt like being around anyone much since..you know." Will gave his friend a confused look. "Since what? Oh." Jack nodded and they were silent for a while.
"I'm not "Jack" without her, okay?" Jack suddenly blurted out without emotion. Will studied his friend's face carefully before replying. "What makes you think that?" he questioned, his voice soft. Jack shrugged. "You've seen me. I'm not myself! Since she's been gone I haven't found joy in anything I used to do. And I mean anything, Will." Will nodded and smiled.
"Jack," he began, getting up from his chair, "You were "Jack" before we met. You've been "Jack" as long as I've known you, and with or without Karen, you are the one and only Jack McFarland," Will finished from where he had knelt in front of Jack's chair. "She's coming back." At this Jack's heart skipped a beat and he grabbed Will's hands.
"You know where she is?!" he screeched. As Will stood up he realized he may have said too much. He sat up on the edge of his desk and thought about his response.
"Well do you?!" came Jack's "head-voice" cry.
"Yes and no," Will answered.
"What do you mean?" Jack asked, his voice normal now. Will sighed. "I guess you need to find out sometime. C'mon Jack, let's go for a walk."
