Maybe this isn't a story you can plan that far out. You have to live it to know what you want... or what it needs to be. [ Jesse rolls her shoulders back to release some tension. ] This story is alive. The Dark Presence wants out of where it comes from and into our world. It's trying to use the story like that. What you need to remember is that you're a writer, and you know how stories go, and do whatever writers do when they want to change an ending. Or, maybe the ending isn't written, and it's been left open for you.

[ A nod. ] If she's involved even by mention? She's in danger.

Maybe it is helping. [ Jesse doesn't say what's truly on her mind as she feels they will simply go in circles over and over again. She's done enough of that with the Alan she knows. ] It just doesn't feel like it.

[ The corners of her mouth twinge in a bitter smile. ] It's how it ends. For now, I guess. It might pick up... someday. That's all I seem to do is wait on the things I can't control.

[ Still, a shake of her head. She'd rather talk about what he and his Jesse can do to change their outcome. It's more productive than her just bemoaning what she has to do and how much it hurts. Being upset won't change it. ]

It depends on how much you stay in this world. Covering your eyes and ears makes it a lot simpler... for most people. I wouldn't know what that's like. Jesse wouldn't know what that's like. [ The bitter smile turns softer. ] No. I don't feel that way now. I found my place in the world; where I belong and what I'm supposed to do. I even found someone like me that understands things I didn't think anyone would. I'm not giving any of that up now. Some of it just doesn't work on my time table but his.

I'm guessing it's the same for Jesse. Once she finds her place? She'll want to stay there with those people. With you--if that's what you want. We spent most of our lives being told we were wrong, or insane, so finding people that don't treat us that way is special. I could be wrong, but, I bet I'm on the mark when it comes to her.
