trying to make the wrongs right

the bastion

"I can't think of a single relationship where one person fell in love first and the other eventually came around, can you?" Not in stories, not amongst their friends, not even amongst their enemies. It was all or nothing. Love always seemed to rise at the same time or never at all. "I know I'm her dad, but, how could anyone not love her?" If Flora had gotten close enough to Jack to fall in love with him, for things to have been going on for years as the captain had so brazenly declared, how could he not love her back?

"My mind keeps wondering if she really is pregnant, or that maybe this is some sort of love-spell Jack has her under, or maybe it's blackmail...because I can't stand the thought that she thinks of herself as deserving so little, to settle not just for a man like Jack, but a man who doesn't love her."

If the ground gives way beneath us,
If we should fall to pieces
Find me where I first found you
