Re: Roxanne & Scorpius
"Wartime must have lasted a long time, because they are all mad, even the ones before our parents' generation." Scorpius sighed. "I wouldn't say he was warm and fuzzy, but he wasn't so...rigid. He looks at me like he wants me dead, but before, at home even when he was displeased, I could see that he loved me. I don't think this person loves anyone."
Scorpius realized how insensitive he was being and hugged her again. "I'm sorry. Listen to me rambling on, despite what I have here. I should be happy." Other people had it worse, like Roxanne.
He got up. "Enough with our pity party. Let's go dancing." They could at least pretend for a while that everything was fine.
