She’s been pacing the length of the living room as she waits for Cassie to arrive and each lap has her nerves jangled a little more. She hasn’t seen the young woman in the month she’s been in this reality - Sam’s extremely protective of Cassie, a fact that makes Janet glad someone’s had her daughter’s interests in mind - but when it was determined that she’s stuck here, Janet insisted on seeing her. Sam’s out at the store when Cassie pulls up and Janet wrings her hands at the sight of the young woman rushing in the house.
“Hi sweetheart.”
For a long while all Cassie can do is stare. It’s definitely Janet there in front of her, but it can’t be. Janet Fraiser is dead, and Cassie’s having enough trouble coming to terms with that as it is. She doesn’t need a duplicate or hoax showing up now and making her grieve all over again.
“You...you can’t be here Mom, you’re dead.”
