[ She has spent the majority of her life so far trying not to be noticed. After Ordinary. Any time someone does notice her either sets alarm bells off in her mind or confuses her as to why they'd notice her. Alan falls into the second category, but, it feels much more complicated than that.
The smirk stays on her face and she hopes he realizes she's trying to joke. Lighten the mood. ] I meant more because a writer versus someone who has spent as much time as she can going through life unnoticed.
[ « Not that being nineteen is a lot of time compared to him... » ]
Maybe pointing it out acts as motivation? Show the crazy girl she's wrong.
[ « It's not like others haven't before. »
She nods. ] Okay. Alan it is.
[ He steps into her space and Jesse feels as if time has just stopped all together. Her breath catches in her throat and her gaze keeps staring into his. That force inside her, from deep down, wants to push her to close what little gap there is. Except, she doesn't know what that force is. She doesn't know if she can trust it. Why is it there? Why is it insisting on going to Alan? Is that why Polaris told her to be here in Bright Falls?
Other than the fact that whatever is pursuing Alan--this Dark Presence--seems to be her enemy.
If Alan had been anyone else, she would have freezes and pulled away the moment she felt their arm around her. Alan Wake isn't just anyone else--even if she isn't sure what that means entirely. Other than he's someone special and the Alan on the phone insisted they had a connection.
« Is... this what he meant? The other Alan. »
She moves as if he did pull her close. She rests entirely into his space then, heart pounding, eyes searching his to try and see what he'll do next. Should she do something? She's inexperienced in all this. Why is she even thinking about it in terms of a relationship? They just met, he's still legally married and there to save his wife...
The pull doesn't seem to care much about the logic or rules. It wants to be closer, to make itself louder, be the only thing that's driving her in that moment. She doesn't give into it. Not yet.
