With an exhale, I meet her gaze. The whys, the reasons, they're important, but I'm not sure that I can make Stephanie understand, nor am I sure that the relentless pursuit of it would be good for her. Or for me, I suppose. And when she drops the topic, I know that she understands that fact as well as I do, and it reminds me of the reasons why I have sought her out, before Cassandra. She's able to carry the heavier emotional burdens, but more than that, she knows why they're there. Which ones to fight.
Stephanie may still be impetuous, but she is learned and an adult in her own right, more wholly than I would say that Cassandra is.
"But I thought you stood a better chance of understanding what I meant," I add, walking closer to the ledge, Grapnel gun in my hand. "I'll talk to you later."
