Jacob’s outburst and sudden movement startled her and she didn’t have enough time to protest about his injuries when he ambushed her with an embrace. She was now in his arms and well, she wasn’t going to complain. Instead she remained speechless and actually stopped crying. So he really did mean to stay with her through all the thick and..bullets. He really seemed determined to help her achieve that normal life and god she was grateful to have such a man. He really was a good man, he had no idea…
She—well to be needed for something other than opening up someone’s head was really flattering. The butterflies in her stomach were acting up and a smile spread across her wet face. Yeah, they could make this work. They really could. She wasn’t about to turn him down when he needed her too so…It was settled. Now things felt even more cemented down before and it felt so good! It felt good enough to kiss him. She pulled him in for a kiss when—
“O-Oh umm--!â€Â
Lenn stopped midway, spotting the same nurse with a food cart. Breakfast, remember? “I’m um sorry to interrupt, but breakfast is—Ah Mr. Cunningham!†She rushed into the room after realizing that Jacob was technically flatlining and Lenn was quick to move out of the nurse’s way. She couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of the nurse chiding him about ripping off the monitors and that it seriously wasn’t funny when she found out that there wasn’t anything wrong with him. Well, anything more wrong. Breakfast was served and according to the nurse, it was Lenn’s responsibility to make sure he didn’t rip off anything else while she was watching over him. In exchange, Lenn got a cup of soup for her ‘troubles’ and wished her well regarding her flu.
Finally they had some alone time. It was like a date! Sort of…But she watched him intently while her soup cooled in her hands. He…wasn’t going to ask about anything? Bullocks, he was probably dying to ask. â€ÂWell? Out with it. Don’ be shy, oy’ kno yer itchin’ to ask me about wot ‘appened back there.â€Â
