Ok, let’s put canon aside for a second and now picture Bitty not going to Samwell. Fast foward to a few years after Jack joined the NHL, he’s out but single.
Bob and Alicia are visiting Jack and going for a cup of coffee. One of them accidentally knocks Bitty’s coffee. They insist on buying him another, flustered Canadians, flustered Bitty (loads of apologies and reasurances both ways).
The Zimmermann are charmed by this sweet southern boy, they exchange a look and have an entire conversation with their eyes. Then they subtly interrogate Bitty.
“Oh, I graduated a few years ago. Just moved here. Hockey? Yes I love it! I used to play in college. Oh, I cater baked goods. Um, yes, I’m single…”
Bob is distracting Bitty, Alicia is demanding Jack gets his butt to the coffee shop asap or else.
Flustered Jack arrives, just woken from a nap, sweat pants, hoodie and pillow marks on his face. He’s missing a sock. Makes eye contact with flustered, covered in coffee, flour in his hair, Bitty.
“Oh good, Jack, we owe this lovely boy a coffee. Here’s a twenty get something for yourself as well, see you later dear.”
The boys don’t see them leave.
“Just think of all the pie” says Bob.
“Just think of all the grandchildren” says Alicia.
