That wasn't how Emma had meant it, and she shook her head as she tried to figure out how to explain.

"It's not the expectations," she began after a quiet moment. "You and Jag have both been really good about that." Since those first moments, when they hadn't had any reason to think she wasn't the Emma they knew.

"I don't know. It's kind of something Ollie said, that I really am a lot like her. And the first real conversation I had with Jag, he wanted to know more about me, because while he knew I wasn't her, he didn't really know it deep down. Only the more we talked, the more like her I seemed and it made things worse. And I knew that, and some of it's just being stuck in this place, but I didn't realize, I couldn't realize, how much Jag doesn't let himself be himself around me. And..." Emma shrugged again. There wasn't really anything more to say, but there was so much more than the words seemed to hold.
