Names and A Little Bit Deeper
“Annabelle. Annabelle Love.”
“Well my Love,” he grinned. “I’m Jack. Jack Dunn.”
“Please, just call me Anna.”
“No I think I like Love better.” he smiled slyly & Anna couldn’t help to roll her eyes & Jack laughed a little at this.
“Well this is my stop,” Jack smiled, “well, our stop now. C’mon.” He grabbed her hand & pulled her out of the seat.
Out walking on the sidewalk, the sun was beginning to rise, & more light shown on Anna’s face. Suddenly, Jack looked concerned.
“Anna are you alright?”
“I’m fine. Why?”
“Your…your eyes. They look bloodshot, & you have purple just around your eyes…& why do you have all those scratches & bruises on your arm?” This last comment burned Anna’s mind as it forced her to remember what happened a few nights ago.
“Thank you for pointing out how terrible I look on my first day working!” she said irritated & she picked up her pace.
Jack reached for her arm, & successfully stopped her walking. He turned her to face him.
