Luke Henry is cursed to live for (aneternity) wrote in rooms,
Luke wondered if Ella was the lucky one, never having known Thomas. It was easier not to. No risk of getting attached, no risk of caring about someone more than they cared about you and all the hurt that came along. He and Max knew about that, albeit in very different ways. "You're probably better off that way," he remarked dryly. But the thought of a fresh start sobered him. "Maybe." But it didn't work that way, Thomas couldn't just move into his son because he'd failed with him. He shrugged it off, though, because he really didn't want to dwell on it.
"It definitely is," he agreed. Being walked all over was no way to live. "I think I want to do more than survive. You and Max, you're different. It wasn't enough for you either, maybe?"
