Re: April and Savannah
"My plan only involves me though, not someone else. I don't know, it's just not what I imagine love to be. I want to meet someone who I love, then the rest can be planned. If I had a plan about when to get married, I fear that I might choose someone out of haste rather than love."
She shrugged. "I just want what my parents have, I guess." They'd always been happy together.
April looked around the room and she could see what Savannah meant but these weren't normal people. "I wouldn't judge everyone with a career based on the people in the room," she said. "Everyone in here have a dangerous job, that has to influence you. To know that you might die any day, and not from ordinary things like accidents or illness, but because of violence. That can't be healthy for you, for your mental health I mean," she said, turning her attention fully on Savannah again. "You are you, you'll never become them, or like them."
She smiled at the suggestion. "Maybe," she said, still not sure of that but liking the idea all the same. "I like that thought. We truly have a challenge ahead of us if that's the case."
