Summary
"She’s different now, honey. There’s something—I don’t know what happened out there, but she’s not the same as you remember. Just don’t take it personally."
Deb’s words rattle around Jackie’s skull as she stands outside the hospital room. The plain wooden door seems to mock her. Why can’t she grab it? Why is she just standing there?
"She’s not the same as you remember."
Jackie's appendix ruptures the morning she's supposed to board the plane to Nationals. The flight never makes it to Seattle. Two years later, rescuers find the team alive, and Jackie thinks her nightmare is finally ending. Except the Shauna that returns to their hometown is not the same as the one who left.

Summary
You say nothing. At first.
You say nothing at first because you never say anything at first. Because stoic silence serves you too, too well in every other aspect of your life, and the act feels like as much of a shield as the axe at your back and the armor on your chest. Nodding, and smiling, and the occasional fist-in-palm gesture of I've got this have been more than enough to help you get by. To help you through the maze of interaction with so many new people in so many new places.
But.
Saying nothing never seems to serve you quite as well with Alisaie.
