There was no such thing as happily ever after. The idea of everything tying itself together in a neat little bow, an ending just dripping in honey and sunshine---it was bullshit. Amy knows this and Nick knows this. She won’t cut corners, she won’t lie to him, she doesn’t need to. Not now, not when it’s all been laid bare. The walls have finally caved in, the truth is this house was never built for this. For them. She sighs, ❝is it really that hard to play the part? ❞ She looks at him, eyes trailing over his features. Maybe somewhere there was a part of her that might’ve reached out for him on instinct. Things were different now. ❝Happiness is CHEAP, Nick. This is much more than that now. We’ll sell it to the world, who cares? But we don’t need it, not really. So what does it truly matter? ❞
