big deal!

          by now, finn knows her well enough to have an idea before she even speaks.     even if he couldn’t be here now, even if he couldn’t see her face, rose always seems to be worrying about the people she cares about, often without reservation or care of herself.  he would criticize, if he couldn’t so closely relate.   ❛   I know.  me too.   ❜   he tells her, his voice quiet, meant only for her.   ❛   but  ...  it’s going to be okay.  it  ...   has   to be okay, doesn’t it?   ❜

          interesting word choice, finn supposes, and frankly, he’s not sure if he’s being made fun of.     even so, he brushes it off, having decided it’s altogether better to answer the question honestly, at least.   ❛   all of it together, I guess.  I just knew I had to   get away.   ❜
