Damian coming back is good, isn't it? [...] Oh. I didn't know. I don't ever turn on our television, and I spend most of my time away from home in the 1920s, so I didn't know about Tony. I'll check back in with him later.
[...] You really do sound just like Selina. [...] This is going to sound terrible and co-dependent, but I think we make each other better, me and Luke. And maybe we should've been able to figure things out alone, but we're stronger this way. [...] We are all selfish. I can be really, really selfish, but if Luke needed something, I wouldn't ever be selfish about it. If my friend Evie needed something, I would understand too. I think caring means being able to do that, to understand when someone needs something. And, okay, if Luke told me he needed time away, I would be sad, and hurt, and maybe I couldn't hide it. But I think that's different. Maybe that makes me a hypocrite, but I think love makes a difference. It would be easier for me to let Evie go than Luke. If I needed to leave, Luke wouldn't let me either. He would probably say I didn't need to, and that I could figure it out better with him, and that would be true. And it would help to hear he missed me, so I don't know, maybe other people know us better sometimes. If anyone else did that, I would hate it. But not with him. Do you want them to chase you? [...] You can tell me anything. When Selina was younger than me, she wrote about you a lot, and I only ever talked to Luke about it.
He could resent me. It would take time, but he could. [...] If I let him, he'd stay home with me forever, if I told him I was upset. I need to be selfless so that he can be happy. I don't want him home with me and miserable, and I know he wouldn't be, but it would mean giving up something he loves. I don't want that for him.
