Ch 454 - A Chance Encounter

At last a diversion. At last, an opportunity. Jack dressed for dinner, and after an afternoon of pacing and fretting and silence that knew no bounds, he was almost ready to face the others now. Human interaction was not entirely bad. And besides, if nothing else, sight of Jennifer across the expanse of dining table would do him good. At least when he could see her, he...

Ch 453 - The Moments Apart

Silence was deafening, and the ache of loneliness all-consuming. Jennifer paced inside the caged room, feeling every inch the prisoner she was. Granted, she had initially been the one to have chosen to isolate herself from the others; she had opted to assert herself to Lawrence and refuse to participate in his agenda. But now she harbored a degree of regret for her hasty...

Ch 452 - A Sense of Despair

No words were spoken, and the only sound in the room was the trickling of water as it ran from the washcloth back into the basin. Jennifer ignored the beat of her heart, as she understood that Frankie was awaiting a response. "You didn't say anything," he observed, softly, and she refused to look at him, putting her attention upon the task before her....

Ch 451 - The Silent Contemplations

Marking time. It was all he seemed to be doing. Moving from one position to another, aimlessly. Passing empty minutes into emptier hours. From the moment he had arisen this morning, Jack had felt the throb of impotence within him. He could not decide what to do, where to go, with whom to talk. Anything. Everything seemed an effort, every decision clouded by...

Ch 450 - A Friendship Renewed

Jennifer went through the motions of setting things up to tend to Frankie, her hands shaking, her heart equally shaken. It was the very least she could do to try to atone for what she had caused to happen to him. Frankie had been beaten because she and Jack had seen one another, and it was a critical mistake she was not likely to make again. Hands shaking as she...

Ch 449 - An Unfortunate Reality

Lawrence may have given her a brief reprieve the previous day, but Jennifer understood how fleeting a thing that would be. She had not been up and dressed for long before she heard his knock upon the door, and the next thing she knew, he was standing in the doorway, giving her that mocking, appreciative look he would so often use to taunt her. Ignoring him as best...

Ch 448 - The Feel of Real

Jack breathed in and out, feeling the air enter and leave his body, but sleep was his master, finally. It seemed like hours that he had tossed and turned in the bed, not finding the blessed release of his slumbers, but now, near dawn, he was at last able to doze, finding some respite from the nightmare that pursued him. Except that this nightmare was a stark reality, not a...

Ch 447 - The Isolation

Jack plodded back to his room, the distinct sound of a sloshing, squishing set of shoes accompanying each soggy step he took, but he paid it no mind. Ordinarily, the feel of a wet suit against his skin, the unmistakable smell of chlorine all over him-it would leave him feeling antsy and uncomfortable, but he could barely even notice such a thing. He was busy trying to hold to...

Ch 446 - A Manufactured Truth

Jack mentally tallied off his list of transgressions, as he helplessly watched her transform before his eyes, back to someone so cool and aloof that she was nearly unrecognizable. He had tricked her into showing up here, he had enticed her into a quiet, romantic luncheon with him, and then he had prodded her for the truth with his words about their future. And then,...

Ch 445 - A Timeless Moment

Water. It was one of the basic needs of human life, and yet in the wrong circumstance and amount, it could take a life, as well. Jack was aware of the splash as he went teetering into the pool, his arms flailing in an unsuccessful effort to remain upright, and suddenly the water was everywhere, saturating his clothing, running into each pore and crevice, filling his mouth...

Ch 444 - A Moment in Time

It was worth it, he reminded himself, with a sigh of completion he kept in check. It was worth every stolen moment, every hidden corridor, every outrageous scheme he had gone through to get to this place and time and to hold her in his arms again. He could not erase the smile from his face, his eyes riveted to her. But Jennifer could not relax in his arms, as he had hoped...

Ch 443 - A Romantic Interlude

Jennifer's skirts swished, the only sound she could hear as her legs moved, taking her out of the house and into the sunlight of the day. Breathing in the fresh air was something she had nearly forgotten how to do, but right now her mind was too occupied to give it full consideration or appreciation. Legs moved, uncaring of a destination, as she pattered over the...

Ch 442 - A Stand

Jennifer peered into the garment bag and studied the studded gown with distaste. Ever since she had the misfortune of aligning herself with the Alamain lifestyle, a steady stream of gowns and dresses and expensive clothing had made its way past her in a parade of ornate styles and impressive fabrics. For perhaps ten minutes, at the very start of what she had believed at the time to...

Ch 441 - A New Plan Proceeds

Jack paced the garage, but it was not some sort of warp-time instant replay of the previous evening. He had no expectations of meeting Jennifer here this morning; however, he had formulated a plan in the early morning hours of how and when and where to see her next, and he was fairly glowing with the idea of what he had come up with. Oh, this plan was a bit on the...

Ch 440 - A Facade of Indifference

Jack returned to his room, plodding down the hallways and back to the place he called a temporary haven. His heart was heavy as he considered the possibilities. She had wanted to meet him. She had intended to meet him. But somehow, that action had been interrupted. It was plausible, and an option he held on to. Another idea formed in his brain, taking shape....

Ch 439 - A Meeting Aborted

Shane led Jack back to a portion of the garden, a place well enough away from the house to be slightly removed and discreet, and he saw the others gathered there, some already dressed for the evening, the others yet to have returned to their rooms. And precisely as Shane had described to him, there stood Bo and Carly, in the center of it all, in the thick of it. Jack...

Ch 438 - The Preservation of Insanity

Jennifer, still shaken from her encounter with Jack, cautiously made her way out of the bedroom prison and through the silent hallways. There was just one person she needed to see right now, and as far as she was concerned, she fervently hoped not to run into anyone else. Especially Jack. Their prior meeting really had thrown her, and now she had to figure out...

Ch 437 - An Inevitable Certainty

Jack moved furtively, and if there was anyone who knew how to move in that way, it was Jack Deveraux. Moving furtively insured that he would not be seen, but even more than that, it kept his heart beating with regularity. He rather thought it had stopped upon seeing Jennifer again, and when she had breathlessly agreed that she would meet him tonight, he wasn't...

Author's Note: Here's the original series, starting again. I loved Jack and Jennifer for so long that I read a few fanfics and thought, maybe I can do that too. I wrote for months before I nervously ventured this story to the public, but your responses have been so sincere and appreciated, that we'll go on for an encore here. The basic premise of the story is the untold stories behind the early days of Jack and Jennifer's relationship. These stories are meant...
