"Does it matter what I want, or does it matter what you want, Ollie?" Thea
puts the mug down carefully and deliberately. There's so much time between
them and so much she wants to say to him about those months. She wants to
tell him that they've had this fight already, and that family was important
to her, all of her family. She wants to tell him that Malcolm was the one
who showed her how to be safe; to take care of herself. She's always hated
Ollie's secrets, but now here she is with secrets of her own.
"He's my family, and I don't have a lot of that left. None of us do."
