Calming Her Husband's Worries

It was still early morning and there was plenty of time to rest, but Jack couldn't find it in himself to sleep. His turbulent mind wouldn't let him calm down.

As the others eventually woke up they quickly found Jack sitting in the center of camp with black lines beneath each of his eyes. Most ignored it but Eliza made sure to comment on them.

Eliza tilted her head to the side as if to get a better view of Jack's face. "Something wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong. Don't worry about it, okay?" replied Jack, showing a hint of a smile to ward off her curiosity.

Before long everyone was up, giving Jack the chance to update them all on the next steps of the plan. Like Jack expected, everyone agreed whole-heartedly and worked together to make some breakfast before taking down camp.
