Jared sat in the lounge, facing away from the entrance. He hadn't gotten any sleep the night before, and although he hadn't intended to, he drifted to sleep. He was awoken by a tap on his shoulder. He was slow as he tried to get his baring. Turning, he saw Jacklan as she smiled and stated that she missed him. He jumped to his feet and practically jumped over to the couch to wrap his arms around her. He easily lifted her off her feet as he hugged her tightly. He put her back down and hesitated a moment before he turned up her chin and kissed her deeply. When he pulled away, he looked at her a little worried about how she would react. He released her and cleared his throat, "Don't try and die on me again, will ya?"

Skye walked to the entrance when she heard a commotion. She saw the count and the maids, who seemed to be crying happily. Skye looked at him, "She's okay?"
