[It’s not new information. It hasn’t been for too long now. Talking doesn’t help, doesn’t change; same shit, different day. Tonight she learns it was supposed to be the end, and it lights up Aubrey’s brain enough to keep wanting to pull that stupid, swirling lever.]
[Tonight he puts it in words. She thinks she’s never hated him more.]
[He knows she can’t stand hearing him call her ”Bow” like this, right? He knows she’ll have to be dragged away from him kicking and screaming after this, right? No one else can make her lose her mind like this. No one else is going to call her at nigh-4 in the morning to drive away from a body he sunk. No one else is going to make it so repulsively clear that nothing would have changed tonight’s waking nightmare; except, when it mattered most, his plan did change. For her.
[Aubrey was right, she has always been right, and she has never hated herself more.]
Marry me, then. [Finally, she drops her hands. Her face is deathly serious.] Fuck it. If that’s what it takes.
