[color=teal]"Uh..."[/color] Jess looked away. Roxy didn't hate the song after all, so that was good, but how to explain why she'd chosen it? How could she talk about her own isolation to someone who'd dealt with a different kind entirely? [color=teal]"No particular reason,"[/color] she replied. [color=teal]"It's... It's just one I like."[/color] With a little smile, she added, [color=teal]"One of those relaxing, uplifting songs, huh?"[/color]

She gripped the phone tighter, staring down at her knees. Even if Roxy got what she was trying to say, how much could a simple song truly help the situation? Music hadn't fixed everything for her, and it wouldn't fix everything for the anchor either. All it could do was distract them from the journey, and from thoughts of where it would lead.

As the track's ending notes faded out, Jess raised her head. [color=teal]"Well, looks like it's your turn now,"[/color] she said, removing the earphone, wondering what Roxy would pick and why.
