"I don't know all of the details," Beverly admits slowly. "I just know what little he's told me... and what's in Jack's file, which isn't much. Honestly... the decision has been mine since Kesprytt. I just didn't think we were ready then."
She hadn't thought either of them could manage a romantic relationship at the time, so she'd turned him down. Now that it's been a few long years and they've both had distance from Kesprytt and more time to deal with their own difficulties in relation to the problem of Jack... now she wonders.
"I don't know if we are now or not, but... we've agreed to try."
No one knows that except the two of them so far. Or at least no one's heard it from her before now. People might have suspected, but she hasn't wanted to risk jinxing it. They haven't done anything more intimate than cuddle so far, though, which feels about right for how slowly they've taken everything else.
