Emancipated and Quite Capable

Jack hadn't really slept after getting back from his date with Emma. He'd taken a token nap, but in the end the excitement got to him. By seven, he was dressed and his possessions had been boxed neatly. (He had no idea how he'd acquired so many things in just over a year, but he had.)

He had a few hours before his portal left, so he rested on his bare mattress, reading the book Ms. Cabot had given him as a way of focusing his mind away from his nerves. He'd have Sebastien in his new world; nothing could go too far wrong.

The door to the room was open.

[OOC: Last post in Fandom! If you think he would have told you when he was leaving, he did.]

After a few hours at Sookie's party, Jack took Emma by the hand and tugged her off to a secluded cove where he'd stashed a few supplies behind a rock. His heart was somewhere in his stomach and acid kept washing over it and into his lungs, but he was determined to make this last date (for that was what it had to be, unless she said something that truly stunned him) as perfect as he could.

"Do you think we'll be missed?" he asked the girl. He meant at the birthday celebration, really.

( Like they could say a short goodbye. )
