Think there's any way to blow this place wide open and keep me alive?

[And let her write her final article, and stop Tate and whoever the fuck else is involved, and keep all their articles from here to publish on their site…. George is too much of a realist to think they'll ever get everything they want. But she doesn't want to be a damn martyr, even as she knows she can't do anything but finish what she started. It won't be worth it, but she'll finish the story and hate herself for that being more important than her life.]

I hope so.

[It's what he wants most out of this place. He wants to have his cake and eat it too. He wants to be able to keep living with George, and still make the assholes who killed her pay for it. He's not sure how he can make that work but damn it, he wants to try.]

I don't want to lose you again.

[He's not sure he can take it, honestly, and if there's any justice in the universe? He won't remember a thing of this if he has to go back to his life without her.]

[She laces her fingers through his, curling her legs up against his.]

I don't want you to have to. And I really don't want to die.

[She knew the risks when she got into the business, but still, she never really thought it might actually happen. Even to Shaun, whose entire job was courting death. She didn't really think they could die until it was way too late to back out.]

Hey, if there's a way to create a better world where we both get to live to a ripe old age and bicker with each other for the rest of our lives, I am totally in. You just tell me who to hit and I'll do it.

[He nudges her a little with his shoulder. He's joking. Well. Mostly.]

[choosetruth]

[She smiles, leaning her head back against him.]

Getting old and bickering, huh? Sounds nice. Soon as I figure it out, I will.

[adaptiveimmunities]

Good. I'm sure you'll figure it out. I have faith in you.
