just jack is a wanderer.
violet passes him strolling around
the hallways at lunch,
grinning widely.
people give xander dirty looks
but he's shed that skin
and wears a new name today,
so the comments and glares
wilt at their feet.
as lunch is almost halfway through
violet passes him again,
only this time
just jack makes a beeline
towards her.
just jack is confident-
more so than xander,
strutting up and
jutting a hand out to her.
"well, i don't think
i've formally introduced
myself to you yet.
my name is jack,
just jack.
and you are?"
violet shakes his hand firmly.
"violet jones.
it's a pleasure to meet you,
just jack."
he turns her hand in his
and brings it to his lips,
pressing a kiss
onto the back of it.
violet blushes
and just jack releases
her hand gently.
"the pleasure is
all mine, violet.
why don't we find
somewhere to go?"
