Elizabeth has read John's entire file, knows what's really under that black wristband of his, knows how close the world - galaxy, universe - came to losing him, so when he offers to take her for a spin in the jumper, she says yes, because she wants to hold him and promise him she'll never leave him, wants to kiss his skin so he forgets all his scars, but she can't have that, neither of them can, because Atlantis comes first, but she can have this, his understated but joyful smile when he first takes to the skies, and because he doesn't invite anyone else along, she does get to have this for herself.
