Chapter Thirty-One

"Should I ask Jack about some good food places?" Hannah asked as they sat around Googling places to eat.

"It's up to you," Char replied as she watched her phone, "I could care less, just as long as it's not sushi like lunch."

Hannah starred at the sky rubbing her belly. She had not talked to Jack all day, and every now and then he would appear in her thoughts, but she would brush them away and try to think about something else.

Was she being too dramatic, or was she perfectly right for treating him like he was the redhead stepchild? No, she was wrong, she was dead wrong, but she was in too deep to say she was sorry. She bit her lip and flexed and pointed her feet as a cool breeze came and refreshed the girls who were sitting on a park bench.

A little girl came ran by her with as she chases after her dog.

That is going to be Tennessee, she thought to herself as she started to rub her belly again.

"I'll be right back girls," Hannah said as she stood up and walked away, "I am going to call Jack right quick." Her hand started to shake as she found his name in her phone. It felt like eternity, as she wanted for him to answer, waited to hear is soft familiar voice.

"What is it?" He answered.

"I-I-uh," he voice cracked, "I am sorry for being a jerk. The place got to me and I lost sight of how much you mean to me. You win, okay Jack, you win." There was a long silence over the phone as Jack took a deep breathe.

"Say it one more time, but slowly. It's not every day that I am right."

"It's a one time thing. I already said it, can't say it twice." But there was a hint of a smile behind her softened words.

"Ah, too bad. All is forgiven though, Hannah Bear." They talked for several minutes, then she hung up the phone and walked over to the girls.

"Would you like to go to London for dinner? Jack's parents offered to show us around and take us out to eat," she explained as she sat back down.
