Fate's Bitch

Jaye ran late this morning. Her alarm didn't go off, her hot water was dicey, it was just a rough start. At least she called in so that when she got to the store, she greeted them with, "Sorry I'm late. Thanks for covering for-"

And then she stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Bianca, her hair dyed dark and straightened to exactly match Jaye's, and the expression on her face was one that Jaye only ever saw in a mirror.

"Hey," Bianca said, with an air of bored aloofness.

"...me," Jaye said slowly.

[From Wonderfalls episode #2. This episode is not kind about stutters and I'm very sorry.]

It wasn't that Jaye wanted to be home. Thanks to the weirdass time thing going on like that episode one of canon took place six years ago and we're all just gonna go on this journey, she'd barely even left home. But Karen's book was being released, and there were a few familial responsibilities Jaye had to go along with from time to time.

Even if it meant a semi-ceremonial reading of the book jacket at dinner.
