| The stress seeped out of Jackson's body with each word she spoke. The reassurance that an offer like this would come again doing wonders for the man before her in that moment. But it wasn't an empty reassurance, the witch knew that Jackson Blake was made to do great things, and he would be one of the greatest men she knew, if not the greatest, if he kept pushing on like he always did.
The witch merely watched as he relaxed in to her sofa, closing his eyes in that moment. For a few moments, Victoria simply watched him, quietly taking in the features of the man she was losing bit by bit, day by day. Eventually, these moments would not be a thing. Eventually, Tessa would be the one who looked after him in the dead of night when everyone else slept. Eventually, there would be a child who would create a wedge between the two of them that would never be undone.
But right now, Jackson Blake was hers, and she would selfishly enjoy this moment.
"We'll call Purdue in the morning and tell them to go fuck themselves,"
"Don't go trying to make my job easier for me, will you?" Victoria replied, a smile developing on her lips in that moment. Riling up the opposition was not going to be in their best interest, but if telling them so brazenly that they couldn't accept the offer was what Jackson wished to do, the witch would allow him that much.
Reaching forth, Victoria took the almost finished plate of food from Jackson's lap, and gently put it down on the coffee table for him. Still the man remained peacefully sagged in to the sofa, and the witch already knew what question was coming before Jackson uttered the words.
"You know you never have to ask." The witch replied, managing to pull the blanket out from underneath the man before spreading it across them both. "You're always welcome to stay here." Victoria managed, ever so softly as she curled in closer to the man.
One more time.
They could afford one more night like this.
Before the world changed, and Jackson became a father to another woman's child. ________________________________________________ | |
