Sometimes it feels so distant, but at times like this, Thomas has to admit his grasp could almost be long enough to reclaim things if he thought he could hold on tight enough to Darcy in the process.
"If you had the tickets, I'd send you away with someone that's actually good for you. You know I've got more baggage than a plane can carry. Just have to come visit instead."
