I know you do. [ She's quiet for a brief moment. ] I had nowhere else to go. I've lived on the streets before. I could have done that I guess.
[ Jesse knows he won't like hearing that truth about her. She's worked odd jobs, unfavorable ones, lived on the street. Stolen. Jesse is so certain he'd not like hearing these things that she's convinced if they had met before he dived in Cauldron Lake? He wouldn't have liked her.
All of what they share feels like it's entirely dependent on the fact that he's here. Trapped in the Dark Place. They couldn't even be together because he would have been married to Alice Wake still. Even though part of her is so curious to know what it would have been like if they met before he jumped into Cauldron Lake. The other part of her is horrified, because she's convinced that he'd hate her. Think she was insane.
Her hands curl a bit more around his. ] I'll be waiting. Every time.
[ Jesse pushes closer to him again. ] You need to be home permanently. You need to be out of this room, this place. That's why you brought me here. [ Her face presses just a bit more into his coat. ] I won't stop. Not until you're back home. In our reality--where you belong. This place can't keep you forever. I won't let it.
[ Her arms instantly wrap back around him as he turns to her. Underneath the tweed jacket and around his frame, hands resting on his back against his hoodie. Fingers curl into the unfamiliar fabric as she rests her face against the zipper. While she prefers the flannel? She does find herself liking the way this feels. The textures, the way it lays on him. It feels more like Alan than a suit and tie. The normal person under the fame...
His fingers brush along her cheeks and she leans into his touch by a fraction. The tears still come as it seems everything she's been holding onto for loops continues to come loose. Jesse leans more into his hold for just a moment. She doesn't need more than this. She's the hero. ]
...I like this on you. [ She presses her cheek into his hoodie. Hoping he can tell by her touches that he knows she heard him. Believes him. ] More than the suit.
