Stuck In A Rut || Jess & OPEN
The early morning sunlight warms her face despite the slight chill the evening brought, it won’t last much longer, the heat is going to come again. She wouldn’t call her mood totally foul. She’s had a day to sleep on the vote and she’s less angry than she was last time, now she’s just disappointed. Disappointed that yet again it was decided to stay, though she’s happy to know that more people seem to have gained some common sense and voted to get the fuck off this farm. She sits on the porch rocking back and forth in one of the chairs. Soon others will rise and they will all get back to work quickly, working to make this place safer, soon enough they will hopefully be going on a scouting mission again, and Jess hopes it brings better fortune than the last one.
Closing her eyes she leans her head back and continues to rock, slow and steady, there isn’t much activity just yet, and Jess is thankful for the quiet. The new additions to the house seem to be settling decently, getting into the rhythm of the house and being given chores. She’s still on the fence about how she feels about them, with Fallon things started off rough, the girl gave her and Jay attitude, but Jess didn’t really see her as a threat, more talk than anything else. But she was still going to keep an eye on both new additions, she wasn’t about to trust them easily, it wasn’t something she ever really did, and especially given how things started with Fallon, Jess wasn’t going to let her guard down near them both anytime soon.
Breathing deeply she grips the arms of the chair and opens her eyes when she hears the door of the house creak open, she turns to see whoever it is and gives them a small wave.
