Pembroke Hollow

Viktor nodded, "yes it is going to be fine, we will know if its addiction or not by the end of the week," he said softly. He smiled softly at her, "once we know, we don't have to do it agian,"

Jessie nodded. "And what if it is Viktor?" She asked tears making her eyes shinny.

Viktor looked at her, "then we will deal with it, wean each other off it, then see where we stand," he said softly

Jessie looked down and nodded. "Okay." She whispered and turned getting in the car. She didn't look back at Viktor.

Jasmine smacked his arm. "Stupid. She thinks your gonna leave her." She said and shook her head before getting in the car and driving them away.

Viktor sighed softly, "what we all need to know if she wants this or if its addiction, if its addiction, we will get her clean, then see where she stands on it again," he said softly. He lifted the two wolves and headed back to the house

Jasmine knew he was worried he was the one addicted as much as he was worried she was. On the drive home she was silent as Jessie sat looking out the window. "We didn't scare you off tonight did we?" she asked and Jessie looked over giving her a soft smile. She shook her head. "No no tonight was fine. I'm just thinking." she said and Jasmine frowned. "He really loves you you know." she said and Jessie hesitated then nodded. "Yeah of course." she said though not very convincingly.

Jasmine looked over at her, "he has never had anyone, since Isabella, not even a donor," she said softly. She kept driving, "I think, having let you get close, he's worried about losing you," she said

Jessie frowned. She wanted to ask Jasmine what happened with Isabella but knew she would say it wasn't her story but she was beginning to think that Isabella death wasn't just an accident that she broke a rule because she was addicted and that wore off after she was turned. Jessie sighed and nodded. "He can't be afraid forever." She said. They got to her place and she got out. "Thanks Jasmine. I'll be by tomorrow to see your mom." She said. "Have a good night."

Jasmine looked at her and smiled softly, "he won't be," she said softly. She dropped her off and nodded, "I'll see you tomorrow," she said softly.

Viktor headed back to the house, and started to skin and butcher the wolves.

Jessie spent the evening writting before crawling into bed. She hugged her pillow wishing it was Viktor. She knew it was a good thing she wasn't staying at his place. She would be to weak and end up crawling into his bed just to be near him.

In the day she drove to the Pembroke estate and got out wareing a loose spring dress. She looked like sunshine as she texted Jasmine. Jasmine opened the door. "Come on moms in the drawing parlor." She said and they walked that way.

Jasmine smiled softly and led her though the house, "I suppose you've been given the tour already," she said.

Penelope looked up hearing the two enter, "hey Jasmine, and Jessie, how are you both doing today?" she asked, putting her pencil down.

@ Jinx...

Jessie nodded and smiled. "Yeah I did." she said. They walked in to the drawing room. "Hello Ms. Pembroke." she said. "I'm well. I am trying to spend some time with the family but I find I spend all my time with Jasmine so I was wondering if I could spend some time with you or if you would like to go out?" she said blushing softly.

Penelope smiled softly, "oh how nice, of course you can," she said softly. She smiled and moved over toward Jessie, "so any ideas, of what to do for the day?" she asked.

@ Jinx...

Jessie smiled glad that Penelope seemed to like the idea. "Umm I don't know. Do you drink tea? There is this great little tea shop we could try some different kind of teas."

Penelope nodded, "that sounds like a lovely idea," she said softly. She looked over at Jasmine, "Would you like Jasmine to join us?" she asked softly. She moved closer, and looked Jessie over, she could see the resemblance.

"Sure. It would be fun to have a girls day." She said. Jasmine was her friend and Victor's sister. But Penelope was Victor's mom but she hoped to be close to her as well. She knew Viktor was worried this was addiction but she wasn't. She wanted to know his family because they where important in Victor's life. That didn't sound like addiction to her.

Penelope smiled, "that sounds lovely," she said softly. She watched Jessie, aware of where Viktor's head was with the space thing. She couldn't see any signs yet. She looked at Jasmine, before getting ready to head out.

Jessie drove them to the little tea shop with all the different spices on the walls. They walked around picking out teas each of them wanted to try. Jessie chatted easily about a time she had spent a week trying to write the perfect tea ceremony scene. She could laugh about it now and did but at the time it had frustrated her.

Penelope and Jasmine smiled lightly and listened to Jessie, they were quite pleased to get to know her better. They each picked a tea, and found their way to a table outside.

Jessie smiled as they all sat down and a waitress came over brewing their tea and handing them their cups and seving kettles. Jessie sipped her tea. "Mmm." She looked over at Penelope. "Thanks for coming. I really am glad to get to know you." She said.
