He looks at her. and moves his mouth. "I-I…c-can if I…t-try." he looked like he was struggling.

Eden looked at him, setting her pizza down on her plate. “I don’t want you to feel that you have to do anything for me. If you want to do it for you, I will support you, but I don’t expect—I don’t—I only want to do things for yourself and not because you feel that I want you to do it, or be that way. That’s what relationships are supposed to be.”

He nods slightly.

She looks down again, running over the encounter, wondering if she said that right thing. “I promise to be there for you, whatever you need, whenever you need it. All you have to do is tell me what you want, what you need, and I will be there. You can wake me up in the middle of the night, find me in the middle of the day. I want to be there for you, and not just because of this,” she held up her hand, gesturing to the string tied around her finger, “but because I want to.”

He hugged her tightly. "T-thank you…" he said quietly.

Eden squeezed him just a little. “I mean it. I promise.”

He looks at her and smiles softly.

She smiles back, petting his hair in one pass before letting her hand fall back down to her lap. “Thank you for hanging out with me.”

He nods. and types, 'Of course! Why wouldn't I?' He said holding the hand with the string up close to him.

Eden shrugs, “I dunno. People don’t want me around much.” She smiled, still. Picking up her half eaten slice of pizza, and taking another bite. She didn’t want to dwell on it. She was really just answering his question.

Jack took a bite of his pizza. 'I like you. Not because I have to. Because I want to.' he said repeating her.

Eden read, pushing down the strangest urge to cry. “Thank you.” She rested her head on his shoulder. “You make me feel safe. Like I’m on the right track now that I’ve met you. And I know we just met today, but…I don’t know. It’s just this inexplicable feeling. It just feels…right.”

He laughs knowing exactly what she was saying.

“I like your laugh.” She almost whispered this. It was so soft, but she did mean it. She squeezed his hand, just for a second so he could use it to type if he needed to.

He smiles and whispered thanks very quietly.

She rubbed his hand with her thumb, just back and forth, calmly. She took in the silence, letting it stay there. She just wanted to sit and live and exsist right there, next to him, in this moment. She felt confident in their pairing, ever so grateful that it was everything she had ever wanted, and it was only just beginning.

Jack yawned hugging her lightly.

Later that day jack sighed. 'I have to leave soon.' he typed.
