That hint of hope. Maybe this was the best thing to do, Jess thought, as long as she did nothing to contribute to the anchor's anxiety. [color=aqua]"You'll do just fine,"[/color] her mom said, pulling her into a hug. The bones in the arms around her hadn't been this prominent five years ago, Jess was sure of it. [color=aqua]"I know you will."[/color] Jess looked up at her with a slight smile. [color=teal]"Thanks, Mom. And... Thanks for this."[/color] Once the empath had checked all belongings brought over were packed, and everyone had said their goodbyes, Jess dragged her suitcase to the car. Already she could feel that growing trepidation from Roxy. Jess took one more look at the window and waved at her mother, recalling the encouragement. Maybe if she got back to normal or as close to it as possible, so would her mom. And the more independence she gained, the fewer problems she'd cause Roxy. Breathing deeply, she placed her suitcase in the back and climbed into the driver's seat.
