Drabble: 4
POV: Jill
"Rose is my best friend", Lissa started without any preamble whatsoever. "And she's like my sister. She's always been there for me."
Jill nodded uneasily, trying to catch Lissa's eye. She felt a stab of pain that Lissa could so easily state that Rose, a dhampir, was her sister, but could not acknowledge her own half-sister.
"Rose is my sister, and so I can't let her go", Lissa continued.
But you can let me go, a small voice inside Jill said.
"Besides, she'd probably kill me if I took her away from Dimitri", Lissa said, a small smile playing on her otherwise poker face. "But Eddie is unassigned, and I trust him. He's an amazing guy. And you already sort of know him. So he will be your guardian. He'll go with you" At that Lissa's eyes had met Jill's for a moment, jade eyes staring into jade eyes, searching. And then, with a small nod at her, Lissa had gone away.
At that time Jill had thought Lissa was sending Eddie to control her life. It took her six months in Palm Springs to realize that Lissa had meant that she cared.
