Jack
I didn’t get to have the full date with Remi but sitting here with her cuddled next to me is better than the date. She dozed off about forty-five minutes ago, and I didn’t have the heart to wake her up. I figured she didn’t need to be awake until she could see Alyssa and the baby.
“Did the date go well?” Jane whispered as she moved to the other side of me.
“To be honest, just having her near me made it great.”
“She’s a special girl.”
“I know, and no one is good enough for her, but I want to try to be.”
“She loves you; she’s afraid to admit it, and I know she has missed you.”
“I love her. I wasted so much time not being with her that I don’t want to waste any more time.” I felt Remi squeeze my hand. I know she heard my conversation with Jane, and I don’t care; at least she knows I mean it.
