It's harder having hope than dealing with loss, I think.

[jowls]

I think you're right.

We're not trying to figure out what happened. We're trying to figure out what happens next.

[rockitlike]

That's new for us.

Do you think that's how things fell apart before? Never looking forward, except when it seemed like the world was going to end.

[rockitlike]

It's probably an oversimplification- but it didn't help. I think in a way... Once we didn't have a crisis, we didn't know what to do next.

And I didn't think I could let myself want this.

[jowls]

I wonder what would have happened if it had happened then.

[rockitlike]

We still would have wanted her. I would have wanted all of us, together.

But maybe we'd never have gone back to work and seen what we've seen.

[jowls]

And when things fell apart, it would have been worse.

[rockitlike]

Do you remember that night, after you came back from Stonehenge? When I came over?

[jowls]

How could I forget?

[rockitlike]

I had such a powerful sense that night of being in the right place, the right moment.
There were so many things that brought us there- a lot of terrible things too- but I knew, then, it was the only way we could have gotten there. That night, the two of us, on your couch.
