In all of this time, he had never expected to see her again.
Jack had spent years wondering, curiously thinking over what had happened to Mary Poppins. As usual, and as how Bert had told it, she dissapeared after she was needed. It was abrupt, yes, and a bit sad, but she had things to do, he reckoned. But, he could never help wondering where she was, and how she may have been doing nowadays. Hell, he wondered how she would react if she saw him, ageless as well.
But he certainly didn’t expect to see her this soon.
He had been getting some coffee from the store, a basic morning routine of his, when he nearly ran into her. She was shopping as well, possibly for herself. Either way, that didn’t matter. What mattered was that Jack had been clumsy, and bumped right into her.
He froze when he saw her. It really was her.
“Why, I never thought this would happen. Is that you, Mary?” He gawked at the sight before him, still shocked by what he was seeing. A big, almost childish smile stretched across his face as he looked her in the eyes, transfixed by the image.
Mary was enjoying a morning off. Annabel had Jamie and Abigail was at school, leaving Mary with some newfound free time. Browsing the shops had become a recent favorite pastime of hers and she was taking her time, enjoying the fact that she had nothing to do for once.
As she rounded a corner, a young man bumped into her. “I beg your pardon, s-” she stopped, tilting her head in small surprise. It was Jack.
He hadn’t changed a bit since the last time Mary had seen him, all those years ago. She frowned almost imperceptibly before her face lit up with a grin.
“I was wondering how long it would be before I ran into you here again,” she laughed. Her eyes glittered with a hint of playfulness as she said, “You’ve hardly changed, I see,” quoting what he had said the last time he saw her.
