Jess headed back into the spare room, taking deep, steady breaths as she washed and dressed. She couldn't let herself say anything stupid this time, no matter what an emotionally trying experience sitting across from Maxwell and Mr Black would be, for the two of them. Considering the deal, and Roxy's mental state just now, Jess knew full well this would be even tougher today than it had been yesterday.

Once ready, she sat on the bed for a few moments, before steeling herself and leaving the room. Like Roxy had said, it was best to get this over with. Already, she could hear the footsteps of servants up and about, which could only mean one thing. [color=teal]"Let me guess,"[/color] she called to Roxy, [color=teal]"breakfast soon?"[/color] It seemed a little early to eat, but the sooner the meal was served, the sooner the little gathering would be over. Their threats, however, would stay with the two a lot longer.
