Finally, relaxing (Simon +Jake if he feels like popping in)
So much had gone on that Jennifer felt like she hadn't really had two minutes to herself to sit down and just relax. First the zombies, then having to question Simon and Dr Lecter in a professional manner, and then the snow. Not to mention the talk with Smith Wall, who she was seriously having some doubts about as a person. She wanted to find out more about him, but she also wanted to talk to Charlie about him. Maybe somebody with such a Zen way of thinking would have some insight that she didn't, or couldn't.
But today? Today she wasn't going in to work, because it was her day off. She didn't have any chores to do. No errands to run. She was just wearing some comfy pajama pants and a big shirt. She had Jake sitting in her lap and a big fat book in one hand while she lazily scratched the cat on the ears and under his chin. Also sneaking in some tummy rubs when he turned on his back. It was really easy to forget he wasn't a normal cat. That he could look up at her and ask for some Tuna or milk at any moment.
The City had given her a lot of things to think about since she'd been here. Even with everything that had gone on, she still liked it here a lot better than she liked it at home. Things felt stable here, despite the moving buildings and streets. They felt normal. SHE felt normal. That was the most important thing. She felt like just another person in the world, even with the strange barcode tattoo under her eye. Nobody seemed to care about it. It had no significance here. Nobody knew her from her past, when she'd gotten it. Nobody knew her nicknames.
That right there was enough to make her content.
Jennifer snuggled deeper into the chair, listening to Jake purr.
