* but that was just the problem. the words that would come out of her mouth would no doubt cause a scandal. she didn't want to rock the boat and upset everything. everyone was happy, but there was that itch, just beneath the surface, that she couldn't quite scratch * I don't even know where to start.... you found this life, after we got away. I know it took you a long time, but you finally found a place away from that part of our history. Sometimes, I think my being here, it just reminds you of that. Before you found me again, before you brought me here, were you happy?

@elegantflame ⠀⠀⠀⠀ emotions are not something that you can control.   [coming from the man that can literally control emotions. make that sentence make sense, jasper.]   you feel them, you can hide them with facial expressions, but you cannot control them. but yes, i think i could understand.   [he pauses then, shifting towards her.]   there is not a world in this universe where i would let you go again, lacey—- no matter what words come out of your mouth.

* of course he didn't miss her change in moods. Even if he hadn't been an empath, he wouldn't have missed it. She reallybhad to try better at hiding it, but somedays, somedays it was just hard * I don't think explaining it is going to help. You can feel it but would you understand it? Maybe you would and then we'd lose this friendship, two centuries of history gone. And for what? Because I can't control my emotions after all this time?
