"And now," she continued, bringing the subject out into the light and no longer something either one of them could continue to ignore or put off "You have to make a decision on which House you are going to be a part of. There will be no more jumping between Houses, understood? It's not fair to you, it's not fair to any of us on either team."
Kristin walked with Jane, quiet, listening to what the older woman had to say. She flinched visibly when Jane told her how her clouded emotions could get others killed. She certainly hadn't thought that anything she was considering would have that much of an impact. She held her tongue until it seemed Jane was finished. She did understand what Jane was saying about choosing Houses; flip-flopping the way she had been was not an option; but, she didn't know what to say at the moment. San Fransisco had become somewhere where she felt comfortable, at home. She was happy there, and felt close to everyone-even Julia, whom she'd just met. But Boston was home; Jane had been almost like a mother to her, more understanding at times than she needed to be. And...this thing with Amber had brought all her thoughts of Ethan to mind. He'd been so happy when she'd returned here-staying would almost be like she could be near him, doing something that had made him happy. Of course, if that was her line of thinking, he'd been even happier to hear she'd been considering leaving the Legacy all together. Sighing, Kristin turned to Jane, her eyes clouded. "I know. And I know I've put you all in a bad place with my indecision." Pushing her hair behind her ear again, she looked down to her hands, then brought her gaze back to Jane. "I know I don't really have the right to ask this, but can I have tonight? I...need to sort a few things out. I can give you an answer first thing in the morning." __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Find the one for you at Yahoo! Personals http://personals.yahoo.com
