[A week without his voice in her ear would give her clarity. A week without him would put her in a better position to make her decision. She had no doubt in her mind that Jack would whisper whatever poison he could in order to manipulate her, so that she had no choice but to say yes.]
[But she also doubted he would take no for an answer. And at that moment, all she wanted was silence, however brief.]
Okay. [Her voice was so soft, she could barely even hear herself say it.] But no more today. I'm... I'm tired.
[She didn't say anything else, only clicked the 'gear shut and let it fall from her hand. Pulling her knees to her chest, she shut her eyes, knowing full well that sleep wouldn't come for hours.]

[Jack sighs. Another week. One's been hellish enough.]
[But what the hell else can he do? She's all worked up and lashing out, and if he gives her anything she can try and use...]
[How the hell did it all get this messed up?]
Alright. Alright. One more week, I won't ask you about coming home or anything. But...don't dick me around. Don't pull what you pulled last weekend.
And can we at least talk? I miss talking to ya, sweetheart.

Yeah. Me too, baby. Me too.
[Exhausted, really. He feels like he has been, ever since she showed up.]
Alright, I'll...I'll let ya go. Sleep good, okay? I'll talk to you tomorrow.
