"Because you never liked him and you thought you were free of him," she said. "Because you haven't been happy or felt appreciated or in control since arriving in this dimension until now. Because on some level you blame him and the other leads for not allowing you to protect Parker and Hardison. Because for the first time you were running your own life, in stead of following orders. Because for the first time you were doing what you wanted to do, living the life you wanted to live, being the person you wanted to be. You feel he's taken all of that from you, but he hasn't. He can't. He can drive us away from here, but he can't change who you are. He can't change who you want to be. Only you can do that."
She smiled at him. "Knowing you might have to leave, and actually being forced to, they're two different things. You might have known it here," she said brushing his hair from his face, before moving her hand down to his chest. "But you didn't know it here. You have settled into this community as much as I have, and we might call it covers, but we both know that's not entirely true."
