Jo sat back and let the information sink in. Leon sounded so lonely. "Are all the gods like that in some way? Afraid to get to close? Is that why so many of them don't really like humans?" She couldn't help but let her face fall slightly. [i]"never loved before."[/i]

He probably never would. People don't just learn to love. It's something that's already inside. Programmed within. [i]get it out of your head, Jo. He will never love you. You're a human for Christ's sake.[/i] 

She looked out at the two people that had just received a miracle. Tears stung her eyes and she couldn't tell if it was from anger at herself, hurt from Curt's words, or the pure joy of the moment she had just witnessed.

"Do you think he will ever open up? Besides to Isabelle I mean. He is so great with her. To watch them together really brings peace to everyone around." She stopped and thought for a moment. "Why is he here. And why did he pick me. Surely there must be more of...people like me around."

Jo started the Jeep and headed to their next destination. "Curt, can I be honest with you for a minute?" She didn't let him answer. " you all scare me a little bit," she admitted shyly. "Don't get me wrong. You're all great. But I get this feeling. When I get close to him. To Leon," she clarified. "I don't even touch him and yet I feel this static, this pull."

 She waved her right hand through the air helplessly searching for the right why to describe it. "It just scares me. I don't get it with any of you though. I thought at first it was a god thing. But with you right now, I feel...normal. Well not normal because I'm with a god but you know what I mean," she had begun to babble excitedly. She took a deep breath to steady herself. "Sorry." She said and blushed. 

She was pouring her guts out to a guy she met yesterday about another guy she met yesterday. She must be going Looney.
