[color=teal]"No, no there's no need to be sorry,"[/color] Jess told Roxy as she followed her into the shop, where the watchers would certainly be. [color=teal]"I'm sorry I got you even more caught up in that world."[/color] Maybe they should have accepted right from the start that, despite being an empath and an anchor, being matched up would lead nowhere good. Maybe she really should have stayed a little longer in isolation until someone else could be found. Having been all too aware of Roxy's reluctance, that responsibility had been hers.

When Roxy mentioned what her father planned to do - win her to his side - Jess' eyes widened. [color=teal]"I won't..."[/color] she started. She wanted to say she wouldn't let him do that, but realisation silenced her. If she didn't go along with whatever he wanted, Roxy would be likely to suffer for it. Neither of them could escape his control.

[color=teal]"I won't cause any trouble,"[/color] Jess finally said. [color=teal]"At least, I'll try my best not to."[/color]
