( she hadn't. when ana had returned after going home she hadn't remembered anything of being here before, but jack had said that they may have been from slightly different worlds. she didn't understand how it worked but there was nothing different about him, just what she remembered )
I don't know.
( she wanted to believe that they would, that they wouldn't lose this but she didn't have any certainty in that answer. when it happened-- )
We'll have to make the most of it now.
( because they didn't know how long they had here, what would happen next to get them home and whether they'd remember it. it didn't sit right, all of that uncertainty, but ana would also never suggest staying here just for them. they both had missions to complete, and that would come first )
[All at once he's overwhelmed by the idea that they'll both forget all of this and know nothing but the mission they've committed to back home. Given the choice, of course they'll return, even if it means leaving this behind--whatever this is. Jack isn't sure he has words for it yet, beyond something he should have done a long time ago, even if it had been an impossibility.
He doesn't want to leave this behind not knowing whether or not they'll find their way to this conclusion again. Making the most of it will have to be good enough.]
I don't want to lose this.
[He's sure of that, at least for now. Jack still has his good hand against her cheek, and he uses it to pull her closer, his other arm winding its way around the small of her back. He leans a little onto the arm of the sofa, pulling her down with him in a clear indication that he's ready to be finished talking.]

she lets herself slide easily with him, one hand moving back up to his head, fingers brushing over his temple )
You'll always have me.
( the words are quiet, sneaked in before ana kisses him again. she's always been there. she'll always be there )
