Arms, Christina Perry
Jack had decided she would wear pants that day, tired of wearing skirts and dresses. And with her boys in town, it was probably a better idea to wear pants anyway. They were a light grey and she matched them with a light blue blouse. She fixed her hair and put on makeup and was ready to go. She fiddled with her ring. She loved it. The ring itself would bring her comfort. The ring reminded her of Don, and Don meant home.
Jack was relieved to see that Grady and Gordo could behave in a social setting. Jack noticed that Grady seemed particularly subdued when Renee was around and it made her smile. She wasn't the only one who watched the two interact and shared small smiles of mischief with a few others.
"So did you pick out your dress, yet?" Renee asked. They had all sat outside to enjoy the sun. Jack was leaned back in her seat with a glass of lemonade. She smiled and nodded.
"It's beautiful and I can't wait to show you. It's actually here to make sure Don doesn't see it." Jack told her. "Maybe you can convince Betty to show you." Jack smiled at Renee.
"Absolutely not. It's going to be a surprise." Betty stated firmly, sipping her own drink. Jack had to laugh and then she turned to Don who sat next to her.
"Were you able to get these monkeys some tuxes?" She asked teasingly.
"Hey, man. Who you callin' a monkey?" Gordo asked trying to suppress a smile. Jack stuck her tongue out at him in her amazing maturity.
"I'm surprised they got ya in fucking dresses." Grady chuckled at Jack and he and Gordo started to laugh.
"The fuck is that supposed to mean?" She asked accusingly, letting her language slip back to swearing. Gordo and Grady laughed harder. She turned and saw Don starting to laugh about as well. He tried to stop when she glared at him but couldn't. "Don't encourage them!" She hissed.
"It means you're just as much of a monkey as the rest of us." Norman explained with a small smile and Jack glared at him before rolling her eyes. Don was leaned back in his chair and laced his fingers with Jack's.
Conversation was light and fun. Most of the time, it was the war friends catching up and reminiscing about the good times in the war, like the Christmas Jack decorated the tank. Jack had the picture in her purse and pulled it out to show Renee and Betty. Betty kept David, her son near by for the most part but let him go play in the yard. They had a small dog that he ran around with.
Someone brought up Jack singing to them, much to her dismay. Betty and Renee seemed excited and Grady and Gordo tried to get her to sing. She refused.
"Norman plays the piano." Don brought up. Jack was surprised.
"Norman, you play?" She asked. The men from her tank were surprised she didn't know.
"Hey played on his first night." Don reminded her their first night. "When we were in the apartment." Jack thought back on it. She remembered the first night Norman was there, but didn't remember being in a building.
"You mean after we took that town?" She asked and they assured her it was then. "Oh. I wasn't with you boys for that. I was getting into a fight with Daniel." She reminded them. Everyone remembered.
"Renee was taught Violin while in France." Norman brought up. Renee nearly choked on her drink.
"Norman!" She hissed and began to speak to him in French.
"You do." He pointed out. "You're good." He told her. Renee leaned back in her seat. She was incredibly shy when it came to playing. Grady picked up on it.
"Shoulda brought a violin with ya. Could have played for us." He teased and Renee glared at him.
"I actually have one. It's old and needs tuning but it works." Betty said standing. "I'll go get it. Maybe you three could sing something for us." She suggested. Renee tried to tell her not to go and blushed a light shade of pink. Norman didn't mind, he like the piano, it was calming. Jack groaned and tossed her head back.
"I hate all of you." She grumbled. Don smiled at her and brought her hand to his mouth, kissing it. Renee was sitting, stunned and fearful with a blush on her face. Norman tried not to laugh at the two women. Betty returned quickly and handed it to Renee. She sighed and took the case, opening it. The Violin was old but beautiful. The strings were newer. She began to tune it. Conversation continued and Renee tuned the violin in the background. Grady watched her.
Grady actually found it difficult to talk to her. He didn't know what to say. That frustrated him, he never had a problem talking to women before. But Renee was something different. He wanted to impress her, show that there was more to him besides a dirty mechanic.
Around noon, Betty pulled out some sandwiches for the group. Renee had put the instrument back in the case and hoped no one noticed. The conversation had drifted back to wedding plans. Renee was asking about the reception. Don and Betty took over explaining what was going to happen at the reception and answered their questions. Jack's attention drifted over the group and landed on Grady who was leaning forward and resting his arms on his knees. He would look over to Renee and smile a bit. Jack thought it was adorable, her big tough Grady falling for Norman's sister. Jack began to sip her drink and pondered an idea. She wanted to somehow put Renee near Grady for that reception, maybe make Grady ask Renee to dance.
Jack nearly spat out her drink in surprise and ended up coughing instead. Don rested a hand on her back as she caught her breathe back. She started to laugh.
"What's so funny?" Boyd asked her. She waved her hadn and tried to get her breath back.
"I just remembered something." She said while still trying not to laugh.
"Care to share what you remembered?" Don asked her and she kept laughing quietly.
"We have to teach Grady how to dance!" She told him. Boyd and Gordo laughed. Grady glared at Jack. Don smirked and Betty was just confused.
"I thought you danced with him in Germany and taught him then." Betty told her. Jack was laughing and shook her head.
"We were all completely trashed. Well, I was. I don't know how drunk Grady was." She said and turned to Don. "I have to teach him sober this time." She laughed and Norman snorted.
"fuck you, man." Grady mumbled at Jack and she kept laughing quietly.
"Oh, don't be such a grouch. I'm a much better teacher when I'm sober." Jack defended herself.
"I'm sure you are. You don't trip over yourself so much when you're not drinking." Boyd commented.
"Oh, shut up. Or do you want to teach him?" Jack teased. She looked at Grady. "Don't worry, you have a month to learn. You'll be fine." She assured him. He just glared at her and she sipped her drink. A small while after lunch, Don suggested he take the boys to get settled into their motel. There was a change of plans because they arrived a month early. There was a motel that offered long term arrangements. It would be cheaper than a hotel and the boys would have more room than trying to cram them into someone's room. The motel had little separate cottages that could fit up to four people. The owner was Ryan's father, so of course Don got a discount.
"Don, I'm going to stay here and help these two get settled in." Jack told him, not standing. Don nodded.
"Alright. I will swing back over and pick you up afterwards." He told her. Jack stood and gave him a hug and a kiss, telling him to be safe. She tended to worry a bit more when he drove because of the accident. For about a week after he was well enough to drive, she insisted she ride with him. Not that she could do much if they got into another accident, but she worried.
Boyd walked over and gave her a hug, telling her it was good seeing her again. Gordo picked her up off the ground and she laughed. Grady just gave her a bone crushing hug. They bid fair well to Renee, Betty and Norman and left.
Renee had escaped playing. But she did not escape Betty and Jack. The two could be intimidating. The moment the men left (except Norman), Betty and Jack shared knowing smirks and turned to look at Renee.
"Let's get you two settled in." Betty said to Norman and Renee. Norman was staying for only the night. He still lived in his dorm during the winter and summer breaks. "Norman, is the couch going to be ok, sweetie?" Betty asked as she walked down the hall.
"Don't worry about him, Betty!" Jack called. "He'll be fine. He slept on our couch once." Jack and Norman were cleaning dishes and putting away food.
"So how were your classes, Norman?" Jack asked. "Did you get your classes for next semester?" She asked. Norman smiled and told her about his classes. He didn't mind she asked so many questions. He would have peers who would complain about their parents always checking in. For Norman, it was a miracle if his mother even spoke to him at this point. She paid the tuition and called on holidays, but was still upset at him.
Jack asking him about his classes and time at University was nice. He knew Jack and Don were there for him and it was comforting to know. Moving to such a busy place was so different than back home and adjusting was a challenge. On top of that, he had trouble sleeping for a while from nightmares about Germany.
"You find a lady yet?" Jack asked teasingly and Norman clammed up and began stuttering. Jack gasped and smiled brightly. "No!" She exclaimed. "Who is she and how come you haven't told me yet?" Jack asked, smiling brightly and waving a dish towel at Norman who was laughing.
"No one. No I haven't-" Norman started.
"Oh, you are such a bad liar!" Jack laughed.
"What on earth is going on?" Betty asked smiling. Renee walked in behind her, covering her mouth , trying to hide a smile. Jack wrapped an arm around Norman.
"Norman has a lady friend!" Jack exclaimed. Renee's jaw dropped and Betty laughed. Renee and Jack began firing off questions. Betty could see the poor boy was drowning in their questions and sighed softly, smiling at the three. Jack had been doing so much better these past few months. She had a healthy glow to her and looked well rested. Jack smiled brightly and laughed often, radiating goodness and light like a fresh breath of spring air. Betty was glad Don had found her. Jack was good for Don and Don was good for her.
Jack needed some one firm in her life. She needed a strong person to help keep her grounded. Jack needed stability after her world was ripped out from under her. Don needed someone positive in his life. He had been in dark Germany for so long. Jack's bright smile and lively attitude had started to bring back the Don Betty knew best. But Betty also knew the two would never be the same as who they were before they left for Germany.
"Jack, come try on your dress. I want to make sure it still fits." Betty said and the two women stopped hounding the poor boy for answers. Renee pushed Jack out of the kitchen and Betty linked her arm with Jack's. "Norman, I'll have her come out and show you, too." She said with a wink. Norman smiled at the three women who disappeared down a hall.
In Betty's room, Jack sat at the vanity, waiting for Betty to bring her the dress and Renee stood near her. Betty laid the bag on her bed and unzipped it. Jack walked over and grabbed the dress and headed to the bathroom to change. She left the door slightly open so she could talk through it.
"So you are interested in Grady?" Jack asked as she began to take off her clothes. She heard Renee startle and Betty laugh gently.
"Is it really that obvious?" Renee asked.
"You were trying to hide it?" Jack teased. She slipped into the dress and stepped back into the room. "Don't worry, Grady is clueless-" She started.
"Jack you look amazing! It's such a beautiful dress!" Renee told her. Jack looked back down at her dress. She loved this dress. Betty was smiling at her and handed her the simple white heels to wear with the dress. Jack slipped them on and looked at the full length mirror with a smile.
"Thank you." She told Renee, letting the Grady topic go. "Let's go show Norman. Poor boy has been alone for too long."
"I think he is fine with being alone. You two throwing questions at him so quickly." Betty teased. The three women found him in the living room, playing on the piano. He was playing Someone to Watch Over Me. David was sitting on the couch quietly.
"You're very good, Norman." Betty told him quietly. He msiled at her over his shoulder and stopped when he saw Jack. He stood and smiled at her. He walked across the room.
"Wow, that's a really good dress on you." He told her she smiled and she mussed up his hair.
"You're sweet, Norman." She tells him. "David, how do I look?" She asks, turning to the boy on the couch and smiling. He bounces in his seat and smiles.
"Jack looks like a cloud!" He says and the four adults laugh. "Jack's a cloud!" He tells them. Norman looked at the dress. It was beautiful and simple. It suited Jack. It was a simple, A-line with a slight flare and the dress stopped mid calf. The shoulders and short sleeves were made of white lace and had a floral design and a small collar. The dress had thick, round buttons going down the front. Norman's smile slowly faded when he saw her scars. It was completely gone when he saw the scaring on her leg. Jack saw him looking and gave him a small smile.
"I'm not going to hide them. I earned them, I am going to be proud of them." She told him firmly.
"I know you were shot, but I am curious as to what happened to your leg." Renee asked her. Jack had told Betty when they first went dress shopping.
"There was a fire in my first tank and I was stuck in it. I had gotten gasoline on my pants and the fire began to burn my leg. It was put out quick enough, but it scarred. They almost shipped me home." Jack explained.
"Who many tanks did you work in again?" Norman asked, not hearing about the other ones too often.
"Only three. The first one was where I met Daniel. They were a good group of guys. The second tank was a bunch of stick in the muds. They were assholes." She said and Betty laughed.
"Let's get you out of the dress before something happens to it." Renee suggested and the three went back to the bedroom, Renee asking questions about Jack's planned make up, hair and Jewelry. Betty answered for Jack. Jack liked watching the two women interact.
"Man, you in love." Gordo teased and Grady threw his boot at the man. It hit Gordo and Boyd laughed at them.
"Hey, you put any holes in the wall, you pay for it." Don warned, sitting in a chair that was in the corner. Boyd had dropped his stuff in the second room and they congregated in Gordo and Grady's room. It was simple. There were two beds, two night stands, a picture on the wall and a chair in the corner, next to a dresser. There was a closet in one wall and the two hung their tuxes there.
"Don't fight it, man. You gotta tell her!" Gordo told Grady.
"I ain't gonna tell her shit," He said firmly. "And don't you go tellin' her either!"
"Why not?" Boyd asked Grady. "It's 'bout time you boys start thinkin' about settlin' down." Boyd told them as he munched on an apple. "Make honest me of ya."
"Maybe Renee can keep him in line." Don said to Boyd jokingly.
"Man, fuck you, Top." Grady mumbled. Don and Boyd laughed quietly.
"Man, why don't you tell her?" Gordo asked, frustrated with his friend's stubbornness.
"The fuck is that gonna do? You really think some educated broad's gonna get with me? Gonna wanna start some family or some shit? Man, you know me, and you know I ain't no fuckin' family man!" Grady told him.
"Not with that mouth, you're not." Don said quietly and Grady heard.
"Grady, whether you think you are a family man or not, isn't the question. Everything happens for a reason and God makes things happen at his own pace, whether we want it to or not. Maybe this is your time to start thinkin' about becoming a family man or what you believe that is." Boyd said from his place.
"Thank you for that insight, Bible." Don said as he sighed through his nose. "at least get to know the girl. You may something you like. You might like her enough to wanna stick around."
"Yeah, man. Ask her to dinner or something." Gordo urged.
"I just fucking met her!" Grady hollered. Boyd and Don were just watching the two, laughing. It was nice having everyone together again, seeing everyone again. They were all gathered form something beautiful and happy instead of war and carnage. It was a nice change.
After Don made sure the boys were settled in and Grady wasn't going to kill anyone, Don bid them good bye and left to pick up Jack. Renee had settled in well and was pleased to see the four adults getting along so well.
After a while, Jack and Don left to return to their own apartment. Jack changed into a dress and the two went out for dinner, getting a chance to enjoy each other's company. The two were even able to go to the cinema. It was a nice quiet evening, calm and just the two of them.
They got back to the apartment after the movie and it had started to rain. A thunderstorm was rolling in and they could hear the thunder. The lights in the apartment flickered and the two froze, waiting to see if the lights would go out. After a few seconds of silence Jack began to laugh and Don smiled at her. he pulled her close and kissed her gently. She smiled and kissed him back, bringing her hands up to his shoulders. He broke the kiss and rested his forehead on hers. They stood there, breathing, smiling.
"I love you." He whispered. She whispered it back and they began to sway back and forth. Jack smiled.
"Are we dancing now?" She teased and looked at him. He straightened up and took her hands in his. DOn smiled and they began to dance slowly in their kitchen, the thunder and rain their music. After a while of dancing and kissing, the power did go out and Jack's laugh filled the small apartment. SHe let out a small squeal of laughter when Don picked her up and carried her to the bedroom. She was still laughing when he kissed her. He loved her laugh. he loved how she sighed when he kissed her neck, the way she dug her nails into his skin when he nipped gently, the way her body moved with his.
The two lay in his bed, her head on his chest, listening to his heart beat as he played with her hair. The storm continued outside and rain hit the window. Jack closed her eyes and hummed. The air had been off for a short while and the apartment was already starting to get humid and thick from the summer air. Don's hand left her hair and began to trace her scars on her shoulder softly. Jack sighed and grabbed his hand, stilling it. She didn't want him to start thinking about the scars again.
The two fell asleep like that for a while as the storm raged on and eventually faded away. they were startled awake around two thirty in the morning when all of the lights turned on. Jack sat up and looked around as her eyes adjusted. Don groaned and got out of bed and pulled his pajama pant on over his boxers.
"The fuck.." Jack mumbled, not understanding what happened.
"Power is on. Go back to bed." Don told her as he left the room to start turning lights off. He came back within seconds to see Jack lying down on her side, already back to sleep. He stopped and smiled at her before he turned off the light and climbed in behind her. He pressed a gentle kiss to the nape of her neck and she hummed. So she was still partially awake. His arms wrapped around her and pulled her closer to him. They fell back asleep quickly, neither enjoying being woken bu the sudden return of electricity.
Don was awake first, as usual. He got up, made breakfast and coffee and brought it in to Jack. He set it on the nightstand and gently woke her. He put a gentle hand on her shoulder.
"Jack. Get up, I have food." He told her quietly. She rolled onto her back and opened her eyes, squinting at the light.
"Morning." She mumbled and let a hand wander up his bare arm. "Time?" She asked. Don smiled and leaned down and kissed her. Her hands met on the back of his neck and kept him from going to far away when he stopped to answer her question.
"Eight." He told her and she scowled.
"WHy?" SHe asked. To her, eight was still early. DOn laughed at her softly and kissed her, climbing on top of her. She smiled into the kiss. He was being more affectionate than usual lately. one of his hands wandered under her slip and rested on her waist. His mouth moved from hers and down her neck.
"What's this for?" SHe teased and ran her fingers through his hair. "Food's getting cold." SHe told him quietly. Don brought his hands to frame her face and he looked at her.
"A way of apologizing for getting you up so early." he told her with a teasing smile and kissed her again. She laughed and he rolled off tot eh side as Jack sat up. Her hair was a mess and she had hickeys near her shoulder and on her neck. She would have to cover them with makeup. Don thought she looked beautiful. Jack caught him staring and rolled her eyes.
"Who knew, rough and hard Sergeant Collier would be such a sap." Jack teased and Don laughed, sitting up. He took her toast again and kissed her temple. He finished the toast quickly and got up and went to shower. Jack took her plate to the kitchen to finish eating. THe sun was out and there was barely any sign that a storm had rolled through the night before. Jack leaned back in her seat and enjoyed her breakfast. Everything was falling into place. Before Germany, she felt lost, like she had no place or purpose and no future. Turns out, going to Germany was the best thing to happen to her. SHe lost so much, yes, but she had gained so much as well. Jack was getting married, she had family and good friends. Everything was ok.
She had all she could have ever wanted. SHe had her boys, she had her friends, she had a job, she had Don. It felt right and she felt something settle in her soul and Jack couldn't stop smiling. She was startled out of her musings when the phone rang. She stood and picked it up.
"Collier Residence." She said and listened. No one was on the line and Jack listened, waiting for someone to speak. "hello?" He asked but no one responded. SHe shrugged and hung up. Jack cleared her place and went to take a shower. DOn was already out and getting dressed.
Don dropped Jack off at Betty's before getting the three men. He and Boyd were going to go get Boyd's car from the apartment before coming back over. When Jack walked in, she was glad they had a while until the boys came over. Renee looked exhausted and she wasn't dressed yet. SHe sat in her pajamas at the table, head in her hands while Betty made her something to eat. Norman walked in and nodded to Jack. She nodded back but was confused.
"Renee, are you alright?" Jack asked and Renee's head snapped up. She looked tired. Renee offered a tired smile.
"Renee had a nightmare." Betty answered as she drank her coffee. "Pearl Harbor, right?" SHe asked and renee nodded.
"I get nightmares about it sometimes. It's not a big deal." Renee assured Jack and motioned for her to come sit with them as Norman had taken a seat. Little David and their dog came running in from outside and grabbed onto Betty's skirt.
"Mommy, look!" He said and raised his hand to show her. Jack looked over and was clear across the room a the sight of a spider in the boy's hand. Betty was startled and yelped before bending down to David. Norman watched Jack, trying not to smile at her fear of spiders.
"David, why don't you go put it outside where it belongs." Betty suggested.
"Ok!" David said and began to walk away. THen he saw Jack and wanted a hug and to show her what he found. "Jack! Jack! Look what I found!" He said nearing her. Jack backed into the living room. Norman laughed and stood. He picked up David and took him outside. David wouldn't let the spider go. Oddly enough, the spider didn't bit him and didn't seem to be trying to get away.
After a while, Renee was dressed and the boys returned. Betty had breakfast waiting for them and they dug in. Betty laughed at their appetite.
"So, what are you planning on doing today?" Betty asked.
"We were thinking about walking around the city, maybe see the Washington Monument." Jack told her. "Would you like to go?" She asked Betty.
"I can't. One of David's friends is having a birthday party. Perhaps we could all meet up for dinner." She suggested. Jack smiled and nodded. David had snuck back into the house with the spider and no one really noticed. Norman saw the little boy approaching Jack and Don, still holding the spider. His eyes widened and he tried to warn them, but David had walked over and dropped the spider in Jack's lap.
"Jack! Look!" He told her and she looked down at her lap and stood screaming, trying to get it off her dress. It startled everyone at the table and David stood there confused as to why she was screaming. Once it was on the floor it began scurrying towards Jack and she left the room quickly, swearing. Betty and Renee covered their mouths, trying not to laugh. Norman and Don stood. Norman was going to help David catch the spider again and Don was going to try and bring Jack back to the room.
Boyd and Gordo were laughing loudly and Grady was chuckling.
"is she really that scared of spiders?" Renee asked Grady. Grady laughed louder.
"Yeah. When we were all in the medic tent, there was a huge fucking spider in her bed one night. It was fucking huge." He told Renee, trying to stop laughing. "She fucking got on Don's bed and wouldn't use her own for a few days." He laughed out and Renee laughed, learning about Jack's fear of spiders. Norman had taken David and his spider friend outside. Betty got a shoe box so David could keep him for a bit. Jack refused to come back in the kitchen.
The dishes were taken care of quickly and soon the group left for the city. They walked around and talked and had lunch. Someone had brought a camera and took pictures of everyone. Renee had come with them, much to Jack's excitement. When they walked around, Jack made sure to have Renee's arm linked with hers. Don walked next to Jack and Gordo and Boyd made sure that Grady was near Renee. Eventually, Jack discreetly let go for Renee who was too busy talking to Grady to notice. Jack and Don backed off and Boyd and Gordo were a head a bit. Norman stood next to Jack. Jack elbowed the boy, telling him to ease up.
By the end of the day, they had ended up at Betty's house again to drop off Norman and Renee. Most went inside while Renee and Grady sat on the porch. Jack was heading outside with lemonades and stopped at the screen door. THe two were yelling at each other and Jack stepped out to break it up but stopped short at the end of the arguement and just stood there, shocked.
"So you'll be here at seven?" Renee yelled accusingly as GRady began walking towards the door and Jack. He yelled to her over his shoulder.
"I'll fucking be here!" HE yelled and stormed past Jack and into the house. SHe could hear him muttering. Jack looked back to Renee who was trying to hide a smile form Jack.
Grady stormed into the house and past Norman. Grady stopped and spoke to him.
"Your fucking sister's a piece of work." He told him grumpily. Boyd over heard and called him out.
"What, she trick you into a date, GRady?" Bible asked, being able to guess what had happened. Grady dropped himself onto the couch but Don stood.
"Don't make yourself comfortable, we're leaving." Don told him and grady grunted and stood again. Don said goodbye to his sister and JAck came back in and said goodbye as well. Norman came with them. Don and Jack dropped the three off at the motel first before driving Norman to his dorm.
"Norman, don't worry about your sister. She'll keep Grady in line." Jack told him. Norman sighed and Don smiled.
"Jack, did you like the man who married your sister?" DOn asked. Jack thought on it. SHe hated him before they got married.
"Oh." She said and laughed. "Don't worry Norman, he breaks her heart, I'll kick his ass." She teased. Norman laughed quietly at her and they came up to the dorm. "You need anything, just call, alright?" She asked him. Norman nodded and bid them good night. Don and Jack drove away. Jack thought they were going home but Don had a better idea. HE drove them out of the city and Jack frowned. DOn smiled.
"It's a surprise." He told her and kept driving. The sun was setting as they left the city. He took them to a park that was high up in the hills. It was about an hours drive from the city and the sun was just about to disapear when he stopped the car and got out. Jack sat confused and he opened her door adn helped her out. They were parked on the side of the road and Don lead her to the other side where that had a beautiful view of the valley and area around them. It was beautiful with the setting sun. Don stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on her head.
The two stood there in a comfortable silence, watching the sun disapear and watching the stars. Jack smiled and looked at the hundreds of thousands of sparkling lights littering the sky.
"It's beautiful." She whispered and Don hummed behind her. Jack just now noticed that Don had left the car's radio on. It was playing loud enough for them to hear and Don gently spun her to look at him and took her hand in his. He lead them in a slow, calm dance and Jack was smiling. SHe leaned her head on his chest and let him lead. SHe couldn't help but to laugh softly when Don had begun to sing along with the music. He was so quiet JAck was almost unable to hear him. She lifted her head and looked at him as they spun. Jack began to sing with him and he smiled softly at her.
Jack and Don danced for a while longer, enjoying their own private world before they began the hour long drive back. SHe fell asleep on the way back and Don carried her inside. She had woken up but let him carry her. He set her down and he opened the door. The two changed into pajamas and fell asleep, listening to each other breathe. Jack was home and they were safe. Everything was perfect.
