Jack would take a breath before lifting his head. He would be smiling, his face a bit red. "I can't help but get tongue tied sometimes, it's never gone away since I was little. But I'm glad you do. Makes me feel better about being here if I can brighten someone's day." He would say, watching her play with the shadows. Jack would finish off his massive amount of food and be sighing contentedly, finishing his page and putting the book away, looking embarrassed all the while.

Jack really liked Violet so far. She seemed really nice, and he was glad to have a friend, someone he could actually get to know. He never really was friends with many girls, so he really hoped he wouldn't make a fool of himself too often.
