Re: Atticus M/Cris M
You ever feel like you're hitting a brick wall talking to me? I just don't get how you get around em, expectations.
Well, when you put it like that, huh?
I got kids. I got no choice bout worrying, brother. Maybe weird stuff happens in the Bronx, but if I got outta seeing it for 40 years, maybe they can too. The other dangers, I know that stuff. I can deal with that. This stuff? Crazy military stuff, ghosts, time-travelers. I got no handle on that.
[He resurrects the last bit, even if Atticus dropped it.] Every time somebody tells me they wish they could erase partsa their past or their baggage, I tell em I understand, but that, if they did that, they'd be somebody different. I dunno why I feel like I gotta point out the obvious there, cept with Sam to say I love her like she is. But, for me? If I could just cut out all the stuff that happened before 25, I think I could handle it, huh? The job. Course I can't do that and it's a pointless kinda exercise, pero, I still think about it. If somehow I was stronger than I am now, I could do it. You don't feel like that with the ghosts?
