"Wait, what?" Congratulations, Jack. After years of teaching Emma to not eavesdrop on every single stray thought of yours, you've finally surprised her.
Her sword clattered to the ground, forgotten, and her eyes searched his face as she reached for one of his hands. She just...needed the contact. Needed to know if he actually meant this. "Jack, I can't ask you to give up your world for me. You just spent the last few years specializing in Supernatural Law... what about going into practice? I know this is just as important to you as mutant rights is to me."
She wasn't saying 'no' to the engaged to be engaged part, mind you. But Emma didn't want Jack to end up resenting her for the rest of their lives.
