Re: Riley + Lucy (tw: character death, suicidal ideation)
He didn't answer. Didn't know how. He'd thought about it -- what murderer wouldn't, unless they weren't right in the head? But he had never acted. Too much of a coward, maybe.
Too much of that good Catholic boy still lurking in there somewhere, perhaps.
"You're still here," Riley pointed out. "If it's such a privilege, why haven't you claimed it?" He didn't want her to -- or anyone else, for that matter. But Lucy spoke with authority and, well, authority had to be challenged, once in a while.
