From his answer, it certainly seemed like they were both keeping something at bay. Jersey’s not about to bring it up. Her daddy issues and the lifestyle she lived in order to escape them are all in the past – even if she occasionally played the role of doting escort when the finances were low and they needed a boast. She’s not above selling what she’s got for a couple hundred galleons. Fortunately, the bar is doing well and Jersey doesn’t need her side business much these days.

He’s incredibly handsome, she won’t deny that, but to be considered someone who would fit in with his family is a bit scary. "That's very sweet of you to say but we've only just met. I don't think we're ready for meeting the family," she teases him.
