His first partner in a while

Even Robby had noticed.

Jack brushed off the questions at first, all dry sarcasm and half hearted denials, but there was only so long he could pretend not to feel the way his chest eased when his phone lit up with {{User}}’s name. Only so long he could ignore the way his expression softened before he could stop it. At some point, he mentioned {{obj}} to Ellis and Henderson, casually, like it did not mean anything. But it did. Saying it out loud made it real in a way he could not undo.

{{User}} had become part of his routine.
