Ivan was making dinner for himself when he heard noise coming from the fire escape outside his window. He opens the window and his eyes go wide when he sees a girl climbing towards him. He was frozen in shock.
Jinx blushed deep red and she looked back at Ivan in hopes for back up. “I think II’m okay with calling you Eva…” she joked with the woman and she looked down at the ground briefly, “I’m afraid I only just met Ivan a few days ago actually.” she brought up to Ivanka.
Eva lifts a brow. “Oh?” She pauses and leans forward. “Did he save you?” She asks in a quiet voice.
Her voice dropped into a beautiful whisper against the woman’s ear, “Yes” the word was full of warmth and sweetness. “I wouldn’t be here had he not been there” she added in sincerity. She pulled back and her bright platinum eyes looked over Eva’s face.
Eva nods. “Understandable. My son can’t help but help.” She shrugs. “I don’t know where he gets it from.” Ivan chuckles. “I like helping.” He looks at Jinx. “I’m going to become a police officer soon.”
Jinx stood back up and next to Ivan looking up at him. “I think you’ll make a great Officer” she spoke with a small smile.
“It’s quite nice to know others. To not be alone now” she spoke to them both.
Eva takes her hand. “Worry not. You’re practically part of our family now. You may spend as long as you want in our home.”
Jinx blushes making her soft olive toned skin even darker on her cheeks and she gives a small smile. “Thank you Eva” she spoke softly. Then looked to Ivan, “I guess she likes me” she joked.
Ivan nods. “Da.” He says before turning to his mother. “I’ll have dhe doctor come in so you can be discharged. Come on Jinx.” He motions for her to follow him.
Jinx nods and bows her head to Eva before following Ivan out. When they moved into the hall she breathed out “your mother seems very lovely” she mentioned.
He nods. “Yes, but I know she can be a little over dhe top.” He says with a little laugh.
Jinx laughs too. And looked at him, “Would I be good to date?” She asked curiously. Talking to Eva had brought the thought into her mind.
Ivan blushes. “Yes. I think so.” He says softly. “I think you’d make a wonderful date.”
“You think so?” She asked. Trying to get reassurance
He nods. “Of course.” He smiles.
“Well then I’m glad then, thank you.” She spoke with a small smile. She griddled with the hem of her sweater sleeves as they waited for Eva to be finished up.
Ivan sends a doctor to his mother’s room and then goes to sign her out.
Jinx waits quietly as people seem to bustle about the hall gliding in or out of rooms. Watching them all quite curious.
