[ Alan quiets as Jesse talks, but he's listening to every word. He's not zoning out or tuning her out; he wouldn't, because she's important and so is what she says. So when she begins to theorize about returning to Bright Falls and turning herself in, he snaps to attention at once. ]
No. No, you won't do that. You can't. Even if it led you closer to your brother- I don't think it's a good idea. Finding your brother is a good idea. You giving yourself up to the police or a judge or whatever... no, I don't think you should do that. What if they- what if you never get out?
It's not my business and it's definitely not my place, but...
[ What if she finds Dylan but they both end up locked away forever? It's selfish, but what if I never get to talk to her again?
Alan's suddenly stormy thoughts get interrupted abruptly by a knock on the door. She lowers her hands, but he doesn't move right away, not even when the familiar voice sounds on the other side of the door.
He glances at Jesse, and then he glances back at the door. Of course he knows who she is, thanks to the loops. He should just get up and open the door, but then that means the end of this alone time with Jesse. Still, maybe Emma has something important to say.
He glances back at Jesse as if asking if she minds him getting up to open the door. ]
Yeah, give me a second. [ He decides he can at least acknowledge her while he waits for an indication either way from Jesse. He can always ask her to come back later. ]
