@jesstanleys: did you miss me?
❝ yeah, i did. ❞ no room for reserve, no point in concealing feelings ( most feelings ) when she’s in a mood so good. three weeks isn’t so long on paper. it hadn’t seemed that daunting a challenge at first, living a little more independently. the time had eventually swallowed her up, and she reflects on her relief as they walk past the airport terminal in search of their uber home. winter wears on mara, forces her to bundle up more than she’d like, but jessica helps : her hand is warm enough to thaw out any frost, clasped tightly in a homecoming embrace. she makes the whole season go by faster, too, but mara hasn’t put that together yet. ❝ not as much as jack, though. you should’ve seen the way he sobbed the other night ‘cause he missed you so much. ❞ truth backseated to exaggeration, they both know, in mara’s subliminal attempt to see a smile from her ; it’s been way too long for her liking, and any pictures they’d swapped back and forth in her absence never did jessica full justice anyway. glance shifts from the gravel below to her companion. if jessica catches her at the right moment, she’ll find a familiar glint in her eyes. they sparkle with a softness only for her, and make promises she won’t keep. ❝ we’re going out tonight, you and me and him, so get some rest if you need to, ‘cause we’re going hard. like, stupid hard. i didn’t even drink last night ‘cause i wanted to prep for tonight. well, i didn’t take any shots or anything. i had a few beers, but those don’t count. ❞
