[ Whoa there. Jess is taken aback by the sudden enthusiasm, glass paused an inch from her lips. After a beat, she carries on and sips, her brow puckered quizzically.
Margo's suggestion is relatively reasonable and Jess is impressed with how well she's done for herself in this hellhole. But she still can't see herself accepting those terms. She wouldn't even take handouts from Trish. Sure, Trish was high when she implied that was what it was, and enough time has passed that Jess believes she didn't really see it like that. That doesn't change the fact that her own sister was capable of holding it over her head. How could she ever trust a stranger not to do the same, in a city that blatantly encourages it?
That's not who she is and she's not ready to change. Not after eight goddamn days.
That doesn't necessarily mean Margo can't help her out, though. Whiskey drained by a half, she worries her bottom lip as she lowers the glass. ]
How about assholes? I don't really do good will. Blackmail's more my speed.
