If I'm perfectly honest, I've had a thought or two of dragging Jack around all of Darrow to introduce him to all my friends. I know he's met some people all on his own, but I'm not sure how much he gets out. With him living right across the hall now, it's easy as anything to pop in once a day to make sure he's doing alright, but I still have work and the special orders to fulfill, not to mention food to bring to Lee a few times a week and skating over at DIA.
Jack isn't quite ready to head to the rink at all yet, I know. And I understand it, of course, so I haven't tried to push anything. Though I can't say it isn't weird being on the ice without him now that he's here. It feels a little bit wrong, even.
Hopefully, in time, he'll feel okay to try again. I miss him out there.
For now, though, he's still adjusting.
I'm taking a little bit of a risk tonight by showing up at his door unannounced. There's always a chance he's gone out; there's certainly no reason he has to tell me before he does. But I'm hopeful.
Luckily, his door opens only moments after I've knocked, and I hold up the fresh pizza and American Revolution Heritage Collection boxset up with a bright smile. "Now there's no pressure and I know I've shown up with no warning so if you've got other plans, I understand, but how do you feel to a little boy's night in, Mr. Zimmermann?"
