Safe Zone

Jacob's fears were evident in his face that J eventually noticed it even when her eyes were just half-open. "Hey..." She said, reaching out to touch his face.

When she had fully opened her eyes, she was startled when Jacob engulfed her in his embrace tightly. She was flustered at first but later on returned the hug even tighter thinking that it would help ease his fear. 

She knows that Alex Ogden might bring out the topic of her leaving Jacob for him again. She knows that it was what Jacob fears but she didn't expect that it could be worse than that. 

She stroked his back with her palm and whispered words to his ear. "Hey, I'm here. I won't leave you."

Hearing those words, Jacob tightened his arms around her even more. "I know. And you are not going anywhere. I won't allow that."

J could sense the gravity of the situation based on Jacob's voice.
