It hurt more than she wanted to admit.  She wanted to take the reassurance he offered to heart, but she couldn’t.  Fig isn’t like mom.  I know, when I fuck things up, mom will want to talk it out.  Fig’s… different.  It’s hard to explain.

When things were hard, Fig always seemed to want to avoid it or pretend everything was fine. Maybe that now meant he had to leave her behind to do it. That’s what she’d done to him, right?

I don’t think there’s any fixing this. Sometimes shit just stays broken. And that seemed more the case with her than anyone else. Bronco, Germanicus, Fig… the line of failed relationships was growing exponentially. She always tried her hardest, but usually that only made things worse.

Sorry, dad. I know it sounds fucked up, but I think it’s just honest. We can only fix things if they want to fix it too. The we was a bit of an accident, but she knew he’d understand because she knew that he would have fixed things with Niamh if he had been given the chance.
