The sadness in her was more than Jesse could take. He stood up from his seat and moved around the table to where Zoe was, kneeling down by her. He wasn't sure if she even noticed that he wasn't sitting in front of her anymore.
He remembered the incident very clearly, how could he not? It had terrified him and led him down the path to be angry enough to act out. To step in where he'd never stepped in, to interfere in something that he might have normally allowed the City to sort out.
"Oh, Zoe." Jesse sighed. He'd been down this road, not the not being able to have road, but the having. He'd been happy and simultaneously unsure if they should be even having a kid in this place... and that had been taken care of in a way that he hadn't wanted either.
