Jessica frowned at the word older. But she nodded because it was a fact. "Yes. I mean, in theory, yes, I am 28 in this body. But how am I looking at you at 18 then?" She asked, shaking her head.
She stared up at the sky a moment, remembering her pledging days and even for a brief moment her ex-husband. Those were not all good days but well still she felt nostalgic. "I don't think I aged by accident. Somehow you've come back from the past or maybe I came from the future, well your future. I don't know...." She trailed off.
She blushed when she realized that Lizzie had been staring at Jake while Jessica herself daydreamed. She glanced down at her tiny son lovingly. "He does, doesn't he?" She said without realizing what she had just admitted to. But she was in love with Todd. It took her ten years to realize but it was true. She loved Todd Wilkins and suddenly her chest hurt. She missed him. Jake probably missed him. She wished he would appear here. Then she realized that now she had to tell Liz about her and Todd all over again and watch her sisters heartbreak a second time.
"What if all of this messes up our past, well, my past and Jake disappears?" She said, not answering her sisters' question, but instead asking one of her. She couldn't risk anything happening to Jake, but then what could she tell Lizzie?
