Disclaimer: I Don't Own Them.
Summary: I can see it there, it's so clear when I look into your eyes.
Pairing: Ffa #1678 Anne / Jarod (Pretender)
A/N: Um, been a real long time since I've seen Pretender, so he's gonna be OOC most likely.
In Your Eyes
"It's all there in your eyes, you know," the blond haired woman said, smiling softly.
"What's there?"
"That this - you being here, it's only temporary. Tomorrow you'll be someone different, helping other people and being what they need. The temporary fix."
"Is that what you are, Anne?"
"No, it's what I used to be. I used to be a pretender. I couldn't even tell you what my real name was even if I wanted to. I've been so many different people, all with the same face. Until I stumbled on being Anne."
"How did that happen?" She wasn't used to the tall, dark and handsome man who wanted to hear her life story. There'd been no one like that since Ricky and Buffy.
"Anne was a brave woman who fought to keep kids like me safe. She saved my life more than once. She was someone I could look up to, someone I could emulate."
"And was it worth it? Giving up the pretend you?"
"Yeah. I've helped save lives if anything," she glanced at him with hooded eyes. "What's your story, Rick?"
"I have to make amends for my old life," Jarod said sighing.
"Don't we all."
