Under all the excitement and nervousness and everything else, there's a very small part of Jenny that can't help feeling a little guilty. She's been so fortunate in Darrow, and she knows it, even down to the day she arrived, thinking she'd lost Cameron only for the two of them to run into each other at the same doorstep. Of course she's lost people, and that's never easy, but he's been a constant, and now, it feels a little bit like she's getting to have everything she could have wanted and then some. Back home, this would never have been possible. It would have been a family or a career, a husband or an education. There are no choices to make now except in how she manages her time, and she's with someone who'll support her no matter what decisions she winds up making.
Not everyone has been so lucky, though, and it's hard to want to share good news with someone who's lost so much. It isn't fair, she thinks, what Beth has had to go through, and the last thing Jenny wants is to add to that by rubbing her own happiness in Beth's face.
Regardless, though, it really will be nice to have a chance to catch up, and circumstances aside, there are few other people here she'd have been as eager to tell. It has her smiling already as she walks into the coffee shop and catches sight of Beth, carefully making her way over towards the couch in the corner. She isn't noticeably showing yet, at least, though that's bound to happen any time now, which is a relief. This is news she would rather deliver herself than have speak for itself.
"Thank you for saving us the couch," she says brightly. "Gosh, how are you? It feels like it's been an age."
