"Reecy actually is really laid back," Jude said with a nod. "I tease her about being a high maintenance actress type, but she's really not. In fact, she's really kind of amazing. I don't know of any other girl in the world who'd be cool with the things that Reecy completely understands and accepts as part of the deal with our relationship." No. Jude hadn't bought a ring, but he certainly had looked at them and seen more than one that he thought would suit Reecy. It wasn't something that she seemed to want to do, so he didn't push her. The last thing Jude ever wanted was for her to ever again feel like he didn't think she was important or didn't care about her feelings. "I could so see her wanting to get married like that. I mean, I'm not saying it would have to be a big white wedding, but whatever it would be, I'd want her to be happy with it. I don't know. I mean, she says she's not really sure she even believes in marriage or wants to get married. And I'd never push her to do it if she didn't want to. It's just something that's been on my mind."

Jude cuddled Holly into his arms, holding her close to him. "Poor little nugget," he said, nuzzling his nose in against the top of her head. "Does your tummy hurt, little one?" he asked her when Lewis had explained about her tummy. He patted her tummy gently as he looked over at Lewis. "Well... I'll give it a go at the least," he said with a little nod. "Has Nate come up with any ideas about what might be making her tummy upset?" he asked as Holly looked up at him. She had the bluest eyes ever, and Jude just loved snuggling her warm little body up to his chest.
