Recap

"Because," Jade said, "I heard Vega talking on the phone to Ryder yesterday. She said she was crying like a baby"

Beck took a breath to gain his patience. Being negative with Jade had never worked in the past and with her so vulnerable he wasn't going to attempt it right now. She could get sick or worse in that state plus her life at the moment was a living hell. He could try to get her to see reason but in her state that would be death by scissors.

"You might be right," he told her, "I'll talk with Tori about it and find out what's going on"

Jade wrapped her arms around him and melted in his embrace. For the first time in a long time she completely relaxed.

"Beck," she said, "do you smell coffee and pizza in the lounge?"

He grinned at her. He knew the drama wasn't over by a long shot but it was good to see her smile.

"I don't smell it but I'm aware that it's there," he said with a grin.

"Come on," she said pulling him along, "I need a cup of coffee"

He grinned as he matched her pace. She was obviously excited. She felt like a princess which was okay because in his eyes she was a queen.

"OH MY GOD," she said excitedly, "BECK LOOK AT THIS"
