If she could find true happiness, the entire universe might end. Well, maybe not, but that's about how Amelia feels about it.
She shakes her head and combs her hair off to one side. "No, but it's served me well in the past on occasion. Different circumstances, obviously, but..." She sighs heavily and begins turning her hair pin over in her hands. "I've been drifting for a while now. Ever since... since Nathan..."
The words are there, on the tip of her tongue, but she can't say them. The vision of a possible future that she could have had, could still have if she makes it home and he comes home too, stings a lot.
She grips her hair pin tightly in her hand. "I never even got to thank him for it," she says suddenly, her eyes focused on nothing in particular off in the distance. "He left before my birthday... I don't know which hurts more, the fact that he left without a word or the fact that he broke his promise to see me once more before he left."
