He'd never dreamed he'd find someone like her, and he'd never thought that he would be good enough to earn her love. He'd always been the least wanted son, then he'd become the rebel, and finally he'd become the man that had run from everything he'd ever known in an attempt to ignore his grief. He'd been completely wrong to do so though and she had proven that to him with her unwavering love. She had been his saving grace, his savior and redemption when he'd been adrift in the world and content to stay that way.
"I'll be back," he said to William as his friend released another volatile curse.
Jack didn't look back as William heaved another board off the side of the roof. Jack ran across the peak of the roof and dropped off the front of the two story building. Ellen took a startled step back, Aria shook her head at him but she was smiling as she brushed past him. Hannah gave him a teasing smile as she turned and ran back down the road.
Her laughter trailed behind her as she darted up the steps of the abandoned home they'd started sleeping in yesterday. He caught hold of her waist before she made it through the front door. A squeal escaped her as he lifted her within his arms and spun her around. Her eyes sparkled with love in the light of the sun as he carried her inside and kicked the door shut.
