Re: nashtons - mass effect apartment.
[Steph sat cross-legged on the bed for a moment as she watched him cleaning.] I know you did, I know. [She smiled a little wryly.] And we can't deny it didn't work, you know. It woke me up. And you weren't actually wrong, baby. I did fail you. [She didn't sound sad about it. Just like she was stating fact. She had failed him in a way she had never, ever planned.] She doesn't get it because she doesn't know. She doesn't get relationships. And I try to explain, or at least I thought I did, but she didn't get it. I understand that she and Bruce are diffferenttt or whatever. [She wiggled her fingers.] But she needs to understand that we're fucking different too.
[She stood up and followed him outside the room. Hesitating at the top of the stairs.] They would be fucking morons if they ever thought that, Eddie.
