“ thank you, ” joey sighs. she’s GRATEFUL -- even if she doesn’t look it. it’s freezing outside in fall’s end at night, and her pride has kept her from walking back inside to grab her jacket or a blanket. pride. . . the word turned her stomach now, just as much as the searing pain of the tattoo on the back of her neck. she takes the blanket from dane, wrapping it tight around her shoulders. it’s ridiculous how she insists on standing out here -- but she can’t be inside. now right now. not after being trapped in john’s bunker for so long. “ i don’t. . . ” joey starts, before shaking her head. she’s never been good with words, and now? well, now, it doesn’t feel like there are any words to express how she’s feeling. “ i don’t really know how to thank you for what you did. anything i say is going to sound ridiculously stupid and lame but. . . thanks. you saved my life back there. i’m not going to forget that, ”
