[b]Jessalyn - Haywood - Choice[/b] Jessalyn bundled Benjamin up against the chilly air. Using a fleece blanket, she fashioned a sling that went around her back, across her chest and over her shoulder. She slipped her baby boy inside, securing him to her body. It would keep him warm and also leave her hands free. It would also obscure him from view a bit. No need to advertise to anyone she might meet outside Haywood that she had a month old baby. She had finally made the decision. It had been a month since the attack on Haywood. People were struggling to start over. Someone was missing from her life. She had waited long enough for him to come to her. It was time to go to him. Picking up the small bag she had packed, Jessalyn took one more look around and took a calming breath. Maybe they would come back after she found him. Maybe not. Either way she needed to say goodbye to the relative safety of Haywood and it's remaining inhabitants. She had no doubt that there would be firm objections to her leaving, but she had made her choice and was going to stick with it. The man she loved was out there. She was going to find him. No matter what. Outside the building, she made her way towards the rebuilt gate. The only person she really expected to have a problem with was Abram. The guy had become super protective of not just her but everyone in Haywood. It was like since Daniel had died Abram had taken it upon himself to step into Daniel's place and take care of everyone. While she appreciated it, there was no way he was keeping her here. She was prepared to fight him on this, and no one really wanted to mess with a new mother. Ever since she'd had her baby Jessalyn had become more outspoken and more firm on her thoughts and opinions. No one told her what to do, especially when it came to how she was caring for Ben. The last person who'd tried to tell her she was doing something wrong with her baby had gotten their heads bitten off. Jess found where a small group of survivors was talking amongst themselves. Well, some were talking others were just there. "I'm leaving," she announced in a tone that said it was not up for debate. "Floyd is out there and I am done waiting for him. Something has happened that is keeping him from me. I am going to find him."
