"You mean it." It was small and bewildered, and more than slightly broken confused. "You actually mean it."
Emma didn't have the best history when it came to other people. Everyone left: her mother, her brother, Val, Rose, Alex, Triela, Sookie, Ino, Peter, Kerrigan... everyone who really mattered went away. That was just how the world worked, and she had half-expected Jack to eventually choose the Bump in the Night over her. She always had.
This? Emma didn't really know how to process this. "You actually mean it," she repeated, this time with dawning comprehension, and she wavered on her feet slightly. "You're serious."
Please give her a moment to compute, Jack. You just broke the telepath, and she's not sure if she's supposed to kiss you senseless or start laughing hysterically at herself or both.
