She didn’t want to push too much because she wanted to make sure that he had the time to enjoy himself while he worked hard towards his goal. She remembered back in college whenever some of her friends were going to a concert and Jean invited Dave to come along but he would pass in order to study for an exam that was still a month away. For the moment, she wanted him to enjoy his time here and not take things too seriously, despite his attempts at trying to sound ambivalent.<br/><br/>When she brought up the subject of his father, Jean could easily sense the tension that came over David, even though it was quite subtle. From the way he avoided her green eyes, she wondered if she had brought up a tender subject. She listened to him and felt empathy for him. When she revealed her powers to her parents, they weren’t sure how to react. Because she can feel emotions, she could sense everything that went on in their heads. Doubt, fear, even a tinge of disappointment. It hurt, but she also could sense the love that they had for her. Perhaps David’s father also felt that way, even though she knew him to be pretty stern, but didn’t know how to express it. Sometimes it is harder to open up to those you should be closer to. Telling people you love them should be easy, yet over time they simply stop doing it.<br/><br/>Reaching out, Jean placed a hand on top of his,<strong>“Dave, I’m sorry.”</strong>She said, looking straight into his eyes sincerely.<strong>“He will come around. He worked all his life to provide a good life for you. He loves you, but he needs to process this in his own way too.”</strong>She tried to make sure he didn’t hang onto any negative feelings towards his father. It wasn’t healthy for him.<br/><br/><strong>“As a telepath, being able to read minds was something I had to be constantly aware of as well.”</strong>She told him, trying to level with him.<strong>“Whenever we had a test and I came upon a hard problem, the temptation to look into other’s minds for the answer was always there. Even shutting them out was a burden, at times, because I could feel their nervousness and insecurities, which could influence me as well. That, or I’d get a wrong answer floating through my head.”</strong>She chuckled lightly and then noticed she’d been touching his hand this whole time.<strong>“Excuse me.”</strong>She said as she slowly removed her hand.<br/><br/><strong>“Let’s work hard to change public opinion about us. It will be a start.” </strong>Jean said as she put away some of her notes. She liked David, but didn’t want to complicate things too quickly.<br/>
