He doesn't have to finish that thought for me to know what he's talking about. It's not a topic we've ever really discussed in full if only because I know it's still hard for Jack a lot of the time. He's leagues better now than he ever was before, I'm sure of that much. But there's no reason to ever make him relive any of that just to calm my curiosity.
But Jack keeps talking and I feel my heart flutter again. We haven't talked about that either. That one word. I've thought about it tons of times, but I've been too scared to say it out loud, but now... that sounds an awful lot like Jack might be thinking about it, too.
"No?" I ask, staring at where his lips are pressed against my knuckles. My voice feels a little shaky. "What's this then? How is it different?"
