Jack spends a lot of time with Poison, with Jillie, giving them as much as he can, as much of what he hopes they need. He plays with Jillie's hair. At night, he lies curled around the comma of Poison's spine, and he holds on as tight as he can.

He's sure Kav and Krem will still do it, though he isn't sure if Jack is on an even level with Kav yet. Whoever Jack wants as his witness, they'll find them and make sure they're there.
"And we'll-- I dunno, we'll treat ourselves somehow. We'll give ourselves a honeymoon of some kind. Maybe not right away, we can figure it out. And then, when we feel like it, we'll do it up and have a party."
