Waiting with closed eyes on the possibility of being kissed is a torture Jake would not recommend. He just laid there, wondering if it would come any second...and then he felt her kiss his forehead. His eyes blinked opened as she stood up and it took him a moment to clear his throat before exclaiming. "I'm alive! A miracle this day!"

He winked up to her as he took her hand, squeezing as he gave a nod. "That so? Want me to see you home then? I might come back to meet a few more people, get to know what we're getting ourselves into. But I...wanna make sure you're safe and all."
