Maybe he did find it too forward. In fact, he was pretty sure that he did. But Jackson didn’t mind it when it happened, so even if it did throw him off his game a little bit, he wasn’t going to declare that Annabelle should have halted the actions entirely. That would be something that he didn’t want.
She missed him? Really? “I missed you, too.” He thought about her a lot. Not all the time, but Jack still found his thoughts diverting to Annabelle on a frequent basis. “Believe me, I woke up today and the first thing I thought was that I was going to get to see you.” That made waking up easier for him, though it made the time between the two events pass rather slowly… until he thought that his flower thing was going to go over like a cd-I attempt at Zelda. Jackson had never played those, but he felt sympathy pains for those that had.
Wait… she what? “You… told the press that you have a boyfriend?” What else could he say? He was so surprised that the rest of the words just refused to form anyway.
