LOCKE
Driving faster in my car
Falling farther from just what we are
Falling farther from just what we are
This time, the first thing he does when he gets to town is look for her. The beach, the Halenani, he haunts all of their usual places. He's not letting anyone say anything to her before he does. Not this time. He fully expects this to go poorly and he's willing to take that. He just needs her to know he's back.
So he's not surprised when he finds her at the Court, nor is he surprised to find her tending her garden of night flowers. He's only surprised by how happy and relaxed she seems. Suddenly he's second guessing himself. Despite how badly he wants to be here, maybe she truly is better off without him. Isn't that what he said? Before?
But Locke has always been pretty selfish and why should he deny himself the things he wants? The worst she can do is exile him and keep him from his son. (But that's what shifts are for..) "Need a hand? Been told I'm pretty good with a shovel."
