“--------y’know, this is my first VACATION in over twenty years. Setting’s my style, but I wouldn’t know what to do with free time if it hit me in the face.”

‘ today i want black-eyed susans. ’  he’s sure she’ll pick up on it -- the shift from love and mourning in the dark red rose petals  ( kate always loved the classics )  to the bright yellow glare of justice.  he has a name.  someone to blame for the explosion that still wakes him up, ears ringing, in the middle of the night.  ‘ a lot of them. ’

❝ you smell like flowers . . . i mean obviously it suits you , but . . . y’know , it’s nice . ❞ she’s nice , & hope’s beginning to feel incredibly warm - her cheeks flushing bright crimson . maybe she’s had too much wine . . . or maybe not quite enough ?

   “ this  is  perfect .  she’s  gonna  love  it ... “  large  hand  lowers  to  the  counter  and  presses  firm  as  the  other  slips  into  leather  jacket  pocket .  “ got  another ?  i  think  the  guys  will  appreciate  it . “

          “that’s a good thing - isn’t it?  please tell me that’s a good thing.”  confidence had always been a trait that anne could proudly say she owned - but with patch, she’s softened.  her whole approach to dating has changed and she feels somewhat vulnerable.  despite her wealth, despite her status, she feels like some school girl with a crush and it’s daunting.  it’s well and truly terrifying. “i hope you’re not saying that i’m giving you some sort of panic attack. i just want to make you happy.”  and she reaches out, taking the other woman’s hands within her own - stroking her thumb against her knuckles as she gazes at her.  cheeks are red,  eyes glimmering.  she’s in love - and she can’t ever deny that.  “i’m trying so hard, does - does that translate? i’m an idiot when it comes to relationships but i know that i want to be with you.  i love you, patch.”
