It all started thanks to a mutual friend and a well-timed TDY. When Molly came to Texas for work, she often stopped by her friend Kerrington’s house—where Jack just so happened to live. The first night they met, Jack walked her to her car and opened the door for her, setting the tone for everything that followed. What began as casual kitchen visits turned into a months-long friendship full of laughter and easy conversation. When Jack had PRK eye surgery, Molly helped take care of him—and somewhere between eye drops and movie marathons, friendship turned into something much more.
