WHO: Sarissa Theron and Jessica Jones
WHERE: Sarissa's place
WHEN: After... this... happy conversation.
WHAT: Sarissa confesses the truth, but still keeps one secret carefully guarded in her chest.
WARNINGS: None yet. Will update if necessary.

[ she doesn't know how to feel or what to think. sarissa lied, and while jess can't blame her, she's not pleased with the situation either. more importantly, though, is finding out where her murderer is and tracking that piece of shit down.

this was the problem with letting others in, with lowering her defenses. what starts off as something simple and easy escalates into an emotional disaster. she doesn't want to admit the genuine reason for her frustration — that she cares for the other woman, though it's becoming more difficult to deny the truth with each passing day. goddamn her life.

within the hour, she finds herself outside of sarissa's house. after releasing an exhausted exhale, she knocks on the front door. ]
