Her reluctance didn't come from the fact that she was certain her family would find a way to bring her back the second her voice chimed in Remi's mind, but from the fact that they'd not do the same for Jack no matter what he meant to her.
So, if they wouldn't, then she would.
"Besides, it only seems fair if I keep dragging you to all these stupid places, right?" Trying to make light of Jack's reaction, Flora nods her head over her shoulder back toward where she'd been sitting. "I have coffee and whiskey if you need some warming up."
