"would things be easier if there was a right way?"
Green eyes stayed fixed on the floor for a long time. A right way. Like her and Al--- Atlas... had. Boy meets girl. Boy knocks up girl. They get married. Life goes to shit. He dies. The child dies. She’s alone again. The right way. But at least, in between the war and the anger and the tears there had been all those years of laughter. Dancing and talking and a few sunrises. There had been Patrick. Dreams and a future worth dreaming of.
But Rapture was dead. Fallen and crumbling under the ocean. There were no more dreams, just reality. Cold and true and endless.
Moira looked at Jack, smirking softly and yearning not for the first time for a decent tube of lipstick. Missing the familiarity of the hue and the feel of the wax on her lips. “If there was a right way, would ya bother doin’ it anyhow? ‘Cause... I find th’ right way can be pretty dull.”
