Jess wasted no time in storing her belongings on the shelves and in the drawers. As she unpacked, she wondered what to say to the anchor outside - surely she should be saying something. It was odd, she picked up on emotions from Roxy much more weakly than she did from other people, but she still had a strange awareness of the woman standing outside the room. It made sense, she figured, they were bound to each other, no matter how different they were.

As soon as she'd finished, she flipped open her phone, pausing and biting her lip before she made a call. When the familiar voice greeted her, Jess revealed her news as well as the address of the place, relief clear in her voice no matter how awkward her words were.
