Penny smiled at Jessica. She was already hoping that she had found that person. Jessica was…perfect. She liked Orla. She was brilliant and dedicated. She knew that she hadn't been an angel when she was younger but that only made her hotter. She wished she could tell Jessica that but she was too afraid that she might scare her off.
"Thank you." Did Penny really find it nice? She couldn't help but think back to how annoyed Gwenog used to get with her…
Penny frowned. "Well, times are changing. They will not be able to rely on that forever. Being of respectable or renowned lineage will always mean something in our society but it won't mean everything like it does now. There will be personable accountability."
She wasn't sure if it was true but she needed to believe it would be.
Penny leaned into the gentle touch. Her eyes closed and she enjoyed the feeling of Jessica's hand on her cheek. "That is kind…too kind." Penny's smile turned a bit sad. "I do need to find a balance. I was neglectful, at times, of Reggie after Orla was born."
