Henry sighed, his eyes closing slowly. How is it that people always ask the questions you don't want them to ask? Henry really didn't have an answer for her. He just shook his head and shrugged. "I don't know, Ava. I want to say no, it's not too late. I want to say that we can go back to the way things were..."
He opened his eyes then, looking down at his feet rather than at her. "But if I'm being honest, I don't think we can. We've both been through too much." He knew she said she didn't want to talk about the past, but now that they were sort of vaguely talking about it... "...I had to shoot a baby in the head, Ava. After you being taken, after Jonas and Mira being killed, after being dealt blow after blow by the Order, I had to shoot a baby in the head to prevent the end of the world. You've probably had to go through things I can't even imagine." He sighed and looked back up at her. "You don't walk away from things like that unchanged. You can't. So do I want to say that we can go back to the way things were? Yes. But can they? ...I don't think they can."
He leaned his head back against the back of the couch. "Our only options are to try and make something new, or..." He couldn't quite put the other option to words, but he figured she knew what it was. ...or walk away.
