[He barely even gets the words out before Emily leans over --] Fuck, [she hisses -- and snatches it from him. Holds it close. Clutches it in her hand.]
Thanks.
[She's frowning, of course, even as she glances at the mirror to make sure it's still in once piece. (Not even a scratch. What a fucking miracle. Guess Hope isn't useless after all.) She's-- she's not sure if she wants Chris to see it. Out of all her friends, he's maybe the one person she might show, but it's just-- if this is an actual vision of the future, then it means she wasn't wrong when she opened up to Jess all those years ago, trusted her with her deepest secrets, with her insecurities and hopes and dreams. It means she can hope they'll reconcile. And that would be so, so dangerous to share. They'd be a witness to that future, and if she fucks it up, they would know what she lost and how badly she failed along the way.
She just-- she just doesn't know, so she looks for a distraction instead.]
