Some of the light went out of her face, and her shoulders went up. \u201cI \u2026 thought I\u2019d offer him a chance to shout at me. Or whatever he likes. It can\u2019t be any worse than what I\u2019ve said to myself the last few days.\u201d The loss of animation in her face allowed Jarvis to see the dark circles under her eyes, vestiges of three near-sleepless nights. \u201cBut if you say not \u2026 I\u2019ll just.\u201d Summer didn\u2019t finish the sentence. Impulsively, she hugged Jarvis, ducking her head hard into his chest. \u201cHe\u2019ll be okay, won\u2019t he? Even if he doesn\u2019t forgive me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

His uncertainty hummed in her bones, under his comforting words. Summer sighed, and let him go. “Relax, Jarvis. Remember what I am. I won’t do anything you don’t want.” She pressed her lips together. “I’ll — why don’t you escort me upstairs, as usual,” she threw a quirk of a smile upward, “and we’ll see what Tony has to say to me. After that, I think — let me take you out to see the world the way we see it, Jarvis. Please.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
