Re: Dream: Jude/Alexander
Would you? [Oh it burned to give birth to this lie now, with Jude, but it was for their protection. The moment Clementine knew, and Alex was sure that it would come out in a conversation, she'd be running her mouth on the journals like she always did and then it would all be for naught. Alexander liked nothing for naught. Excess without purpose was not in his manner and he wouldn't give up one of his own chess pieces without the promise of gaining something greater. There was not yet anything to gain from telling the truth.]
How much do you know of Vegas before our paths diverged? [He almost asked about the split, but no, that happened after they were said to have died.] And who would tell you? Who would care, save us, of what happened? The Donovans and Alexanders would be throwing a party if they knew. Are they?
Who knows what truly happened? [His discomfiture over what he was saying wasn't evident in the sprawl of his limbs as he returned to the bench and sprawled out carelessly over it.] It was a very fiery death when I was trying to get Chloe out of Vegas. [And maybe, finally, there's some regret showing on his face.]
We all do terrible things to protect our family, don't we?
