[ She nods slowly. ] I guess artists need to change things now and then to keep feeling inspired. I mean. I don't know. It... I'm not a creative person like that.

[ « His wife is a photographer, right? She should understand all of this. She should be able to help with all this way more than I ever could. I'm just a nobody who can talk to an alien in her head. No real special skills. I can't put the world in some nice artistic way to even begin relating to it. All I know is how the world really is. That's not something that should be inspiring. »

The only thing she feels she could ever do is confirm what he knows of the world and explain it more. That could never really be able to help an artist, writer, creative individual. It's cold and brutualistic. Like the cement buildings found in cities from certain time periods.

As much as the moment has pulled her in? Jesse is aware that it won't last. When they've dealt with the Dark Presence? Alan will have freed his wife. If Alice really is here, the two will go back home. She'll probably pack what little are her things and leave herself. Nothing is tying her down to Bright Falls. If Polaris needs the Dark Presence dealt with and they do? There's nothing else for her here. She'll be on the road again with her burner phone and Polaris guiding her way. Just as it always is.

Something in her rebels at the idea of letting Alan go. Jesse is aware it's simply not realistic and the world doesn't have the nice romantic endings in books or movies. Even if the other Alan on the phone insisted the two would find their way together? Jesse can't see how it would happen. The odds are stacked against the idea just like they are with trying to find Dylan. The only reason she believes she can find her brother is because they're family. She and Alan are...

He deepens the kiss and she let's out a content sigh without realizing it. Her whole body entirely relaxes against his. It's most likely evident that Jesse is far from as experienced in the matters of kissing and intimacy. The fact alone causes her to feel a sudden insecurity--almost shyness--and she breaks their kiss.

Not that she pulls away. Her eyes remain closed and her forehead presses to his. Her hands press against him and slightly curl into his tweed jacket. That pull wants her even closer than she already is, despite leaning everything against him. ]
