Jack: No worries. Don’t be shy about kicking him out XXX
By mid-afternoon,Jack called it a day. His helpers were beginning to flag, and he was desperate to get back to Eveline. A message from her saying she was on her own and missing him was the cue for him to pack up the paints until tomorrow.
Striding back through Foxbrooke, Jack felt a stone lighter. Simon was a minor inconvenience. He couldn’t monopolise Eveline twenty-four-seven. As excitement sent blood flowing faster around his body, a significant amount decided to stay in his cock. He smiled to himself. The things he wanted to do to Eveline. The ways he wanted to make her come…
His ringing phone jolted him back to the present. It was Steph, his sister’s wife.
‘Hi Steph, everything okay?’
‘Dack-Dack!’ came an excited cry on the other end of the line.
‘Hey Betsy-Boo! How are you?’
‘Mummy baby! Mummy baby, Dack-Dack!’

‘Jack! Are you on your way?’ Eveline asked.
He shook his head, even though she couldn’t see him over the phone. ‘Emily gave birth a couple of hours ago.’
‘Oh, what wonderful news! You must give them my very best. What did she have?’
He smiled at her excitement. ‘A little boy called Alfie.’
‘Awww. Do you have any pictures?’
‘Yes, although his face is all red and scrunched up, so he’s not exactly what I’d call cute. I’ll send them through in a bit.’
There was silence as Eveline digested the meaning of his words.
‘You’re going up there,’ she stated.
Jack sighed. ‘As soon as we’re packed.’
‘Okay.’
‘Mum’s acting like if we don’t go right this minute, he’s going to disappear or something.’
‘Do you know when you’ll be back?’
‘Not sure. Couple of days?’
‘They’re in York, aren’t they? How long will it take to get there?’
‘Four and a half hours if we don’t stop. It’s nuts. We’re going to get there so late.’
‘Will you message me when you arrive?’
‘Of course, but promise me you won’t wait up.’
‘I’ll see how tired I am.’
Jack smiled, even though her words made his heart squeeze. Eveline was going to be thinking of him. Maybe as much as he would be thinking about her.
Jack: Finally got here. Alfie’s in with Steph and Emily, Mum’s sleeping in Betsy’s room and I’m in the nursery. I forgot how thin the walls are, or I would have left you a voice message. I hope you’re asleep XXX
Eveline: I’m trying to imagine you in the nursery. Can you fit in the cot? xxx
