Jess shuddered at the man's words, but reconsidering wasn't an option. If all she did was stay hidden, then what would she be able to do for Roxy, who'd done so much for her?

[color=teal]"It's-It's alright, really,"[/color] she reassured the man, scribbling down notes and sorting through the pile of papers. She probably just sounded naive. Like she had no idea what she was getting herself into - and she didn't. She acknowledged that. This was yet another reminder that she and Roxy had ended up in some kind of trouble, and Jess didn't want to think what that trouble could be. [color=teal]"I'll cope. I've got to help in some way. Uh..."[/color] She glanced up. [color=teal]"Could I take your name?"[/color] The empath mentally scolded herself for not having asked who he was and what he needed done right away.

Once she became more familiar with the regular customers - well, the least rough ones anyway - things would be easier, or so she told herself.
