I watch him sometimes. I know he’s aware of my eyes; sometimes he turns to smile at me, giving me that irrepressible grin. But other times he ignores me, pretends I’m not there.

There’s a piece of him that he holds separate because, I know, he can’t afford to care too much, not even about me. Let me put it another way. The Jack we see, the Jack I see, is a small outpost of ice, shining in the sun, while in the benthic waters his heart slumbers.

It's all right. What can we offer him aside from temporary surcease?
