So here he was.. waiting at the reserved table for his mystery date to arrive. His back was to the door and he was sitting up straight. A little nervous, apprehensive, but not fidgeting...
Maybe she'd be nice. So what. He wasn't.. ready for this]

Hello? Clay--correct?

Yeah, I -- Jenna? [to say he was shocked was an understatement.
Clay started up a little faster from the chair, thoughts far from holding out the seat for his - oh, god - date now]

It's you! How! When? Oh wow, I need to sit. [She actually felt like she might faint, which would be SO ODD to happen right now! But she also had to do something that would bug her to her dying day unless she just reached out and touched his sleeve. Just to prove it was really him, and he was alive. Her hand inched out to try to touch skin, cloth, anything of his that would prove he was alive, and breathing!]

I'm okay. [She let out a hard laugh, covering her mouth in order to keep some propriety as she did so. Then she lunged forward and hugged him again.
Fuck the small talk, Clay!

He may not be that kind of guy, but - c'mon. She was pretty, and sweet... and he always felt this urge to protect her when she was around.
That one coincidence in a store with her jerk of a boyfriend, to meeting her at the house -- to everything] It's... really good to see you.

Then she is nodding, the action is almost wild. Her pinned up hair almost came out of its pinning as she did so.]
Yes! Please...yes!

I guess.. you heard about Whitney? If you.. [survived. Had she looked for him? He had tried.. once he had been better. Wanting to go to her grave but there wasn't one.
But he hadn't known... he wished he'd known. Reaching across, he took her hand briefly]

I...I did, my friends mentioned that you had recently lost a sister. I just never thought to put two and two together when they told me your name. I am so sorry! [She reached out and put her hand over his, her eyes filling with tears that did not spill. Jenna wanted to believe that they both had survived, but she had no idea where or how to look for them. Though she scoured newspapers and so much more. Even taking a trip back there to see, which prompted her to believe she saw Jason again. Probably a hallucination from her PTSD, but it freaked her out ( ... )
