Jessica was thrilled to hear the voice at her door. She had been alone too long with her own feelings already, and they were starting to turn towards the morose. She really didn't want to waste her time feeling sorry for herself, she hated watching the weepy, whiny women who spent weeks with kleenexes, letting themselves go to hell as they tried to readjust to not having a man in their lives. She had never thought she'd be like that. And she refused to be, no matter how much her heart hurt.
She answered the door, smiling at the baby in the stroller with an indulgent expression before looking up at Quinn and smiling.
"Oh, she's beautiful," Jessica said softly, with obvious admiration. She had always planned on having a couple of these in the near future. Now, single and with the apocalypse looming, she was starting to think she'd never have the chance.
Another thing to be sad about.
"Both of you, please, come in. That's wonderful, Quinn. Thank you. I'm alright, really, it's just...taking some time to get used to. It's a big adjustment being here at all, and, well, to have to handle it alone with a broken heart...well, let's just say that it doesn't make it any easier."
