[She says it almost absently. Softly.] It's not my first rodeo. I've done it enough times before. I know how it goes. Still sucks, though.
[But she appreciates his attempts at reassurance, and when she feels him holding her hand, she squeezes appreciatively. Her smile blossoms a little bit more. Just a little bit. When he looks down, her eyes follow his gaze.]
Yeah. [Her voice is almost dreamy.] Maybe for both of us. I've met people here who say they've been here for a few years already. Maybe... maybe for us that wouldn't be so bad. Stay here for a while. Figure things out.
[Does Jane resent the "you can't leave until you pay off your scam debt that you can't really pay off" thing? Kind of, in the sense that she resents any and all artificial restrictions of her movement and behavior.
But Jesse's on the run and Jane is, apparently, soon to be dead back home anywhere. Not like either of them have anywhere to be any time soon, so why not make the best of things here?]
