Chapter 73 Date

• I don't know when it started but we started holding hands after leaving the bistro. I noticed around the same time that he noticed and we both blushed. Neither one of us let go, though. We ended up going for some ice cream afterward, which I insisted on paying for. Jack got a fresh chocolate chip, and I got Vanilla. He accused me of getting the boring flavor, I told him, he got the attention of seeking flavor. After that, we go to a small shop. He bought something for me and I bought something for him. We both got something for ourselves. Jack bought me a pretty, silver necklace that had a cross on it. Partly because he knew that I’m a Christian.Although we only attend church once in a while, especially during the festive period, Christmas and Easter, and part of what it means, always.
• I didn’t know whether he did it on purpose or not, but I will always cherish that moment. I bought him something small in comparison, a new phone case that I knew he had been eyeing since we walked into the store, but he never asked because it was pretty expensive for a case.
• We started walking nowhere and everywhere, just chatting. During the pause of one of those conversations that never seemed to stop, Jack turned and looked at me seriously.
