"Faith, it's not like tha…." I watched as Jen's expression slowly changed. I have done this to her quite a bit in my life on Earth. So I know she would react to this because she would always say the same thing: 'Faith, it is not like that. I was just amused, is all.' Whether it would be a book I got her into or something else, it was the same answer each time she became engrossed in something.
"My dear Jen, you have turned into me, you know." I grinned as I let her go and pushed a stack of books to the side before sitting on her desk. "Also, if you keep your mouth open like that, a bug will fly in."
"You! You! You! YOU! Faith!" Jen suddenly burst into tears as she jumped on me and hugged me tightly.
"Mhmmm…. It's me." I gently rubbed her back. I waited for Jen to slowly calm down before saying: "I have gotten permission for you to come live with me. You will no longer be locked up here."
