Jack stumbled towards Eva’s front door, the night’s events replaying in his head. Cassie in a coma, Frank telling Xander she was dead. He’d been away too long, or maybe it just felt like it, but he needed to see Eva right then regardless of how late it was or that he hadn’t called ahead or that she was probably sleeping or thought he was mad at her. All that mattered was seeing her and making sure she knew exactly how he felt about her, every day for the rest of his life. He’d learnt from Xander’s mistake and no way in hell was he going to repeat it. He should have brought flowers, candy, anything really, but he was there and knocking and it was too late for any of that.

Eva awake to the sound of pounding on her door, something she didn't quite understand at her current level of sleepiness. Nevertheless, she straightened her nightgown around her slim frame and clumped downstairs. As she opened the door, she was rubbing one slepy eye, the other blinking tiredly at the visitor she was still a bit too asleep to register.

“Eva…” Jack muttered lamely, she’d obviously been asleep and he didn’t want to pull her into a hug before she even knew it was him.

"Jack...?" Eva mumbled tiredly, not completely sure if it was him. "Why're you here...?"

Jack pulled her against him in a hug, resting his cheek on the top of her head. “Cassie did something stupid.”

Eva stiffened, wanting to pull away from him. "And? Why're you here?" she asked stonily.

“Don’t leave me.” Jack muttered against her hair.

"I'm surprised you don't want to be there with her..." Eva said coldly.

“She’s dead.” Jack sighed, not letting her go or loosening his grip. “Kind of.”

"So that's why you're here." Eva turned her face away from him.

“I’m here because I couldn’t stop thinking about if anything ever happened to you.” Jack frowned.

"Ah..." Eva said softly, stepping back away from him.

“Eva…” Jack held his arms out for her to come back.

"I'm sorry, Jack..." Eva said quietly. "It's been.... weeks..... since I saw you."

“I’m sorry.” Jack kept his arms up. “But I’m here now.”

"Now that she's dead." Eva hissed. "Now you come to find me."

“She’s not… technically dead.” Jack sighed. “She was a wreck, Eva. Xand sure as hell wasn’t taking care of her. I just didn’t want her to get hurt.”

"Well, who was taking care of me?" Eva snapped at him

“I trust you by yourself more than her.” Jack said lamely.

Eva sighed, not able to actually stay mad at him. She sniffled, biting ehr lip. "You should have called me..... I worried...."
