1956: A Kennedy Story

Chapter 34

March 14, 1956

The next day the meetings with the New York congress was over, and Jack and Jackie were free to go home, the congress had a small, two day break after the meeting in New York so they would be ready for the next buisness trip four days afterwards to Conneticut.

Jackie sighed, Jack's duties as a congressman, particularly a senator were pressing and he'd be away for two days in Conneticut, but he was trying to make up for it by spending another day in New York with her before they went back home a day late.

Jackie had found out that morning that sadly, Lee didn't live in New York any longer so she, Jack and Bella were left to find other means of what to do in the next day.

Jackie wanted to go to the country and ride away her worries like she did when she was young, but despite Jack saying they could do whatever she wanted, she didn't want to put him through an hour of watching her ride.

"We could go to central park." Jack suggested once.

Jackie found this to be a fairly good idea, they didn't have any other ones anyways.

They arrived in central park at about 3:00pm, the most common time for people to be at the park, their mistake.

When they arrived people were throwing balls for their dogs, eating hot new burgers, or all sorts of different things.

Jackie sighed and said to Jack while jelously watching a little girl squeal as she pet her horse she had SOMEHOW gotten into the park.

Jackie would always be bewildered by the people of the world.

Anyways, she said to Jack,"Well what do we do? We don't have any pets, any money-"

"Scratch that." Jack said to her.

Jackie turned and saw Jack holding up a crisp hundred dollar bill.

"Since when have you been prepared." Jackie muttered.

"Eh. Thought I'd give the usually prepared one a break." he said.

Jackie laughed and the three headed for a nearby ice cream stand.
