Summary
Maybe if she were unemployed and back at Point Place she would have found it in herself to obsess over Steven Hyde, be endlessly consumed by him, and let that failed fantasy fill her with dread. Maybe that’s not true, maybe Jackie Burkhart has always found some delusional self-important front to stow all the pain behind and power through thinking all her plans would manifest if she imagined them glittery and glamorous enough.
But it doesn’t matter. In Chicago she doesn’t even have the time to know what part of her mind is real and what part’s been playing tricks on her. In Chicago, she’s been left with no choice. In Chicago, Jackie can only choose the city.

He reaches out to her chin, tips her up towards him.
Happened, she thinks, but is too stunned to sound it out, because then Steven leans down to kiss her, his mouth softly sliding over hers.
