and she's right, he knows she'd never stop him from something he needed to do. and Graham thinks she knows that both of them need this, if that future they hope for is going to happen. )
I know it will. I think a part of me wasn't sure it was worth it, for far too long. There was once a deputy that told me that feeling nothing was a good option when everything you felt... ah, what was it?
blows? it sounded very American.

you make me happy even without a heart. having one should not change that.
