Re: Amy's trailer: Amy M/Si M
She was being a martyr. All martyrs believed in their causes. If they didn't, they'd be manipulators. Si knew she thought she was doing the right thing, for everyone, as if you could decide on such a thing. As if one person knew. Even if they did, one day the martyrs out there would realize, no one asked for their crucifixion. No one wanted choices made for them. No one wanted blood on their hands. If Amy had said she was doing it for herself, because it was hurting her, it would've felt more honest to Si. More real. 'I don't want you fighting because of me' sounded like the beginnings of stigmata. Si sipped his tea.
"All right." Their number dwindled again, at her insistence. Seven, down to four. "I'll try him later," he promised his sister. But, it wasn't going to be now. Jamie wanted to be told it was all okay and kissed on the forehead and Si didn't have it in him at the moment.
