Wonderful piece, as always. I love the little hints of the tender, 'good-man' Jack that we all know exists. It's not a pretty business, but he stuck it through--true errant knight that he is.
The little bits: sullied shirt, long drinks, ward looks, lingering kiss on the hand----it's wonderful! But then, it always is. Didn't eat my breakfast until after I read (heaven knows I could live off the fat of the land for a little bit) and it was well worth it.
