New York hurts too much now.

It tends to have that effect on people.

She stares at him for a moment and swallows hard. You... She shakes her head. Powers, you look like my husband, Bobby...

[rgoren-nypd.livejournal.com]

He tilts his head in his typical manner. I take it the resemblance is really close.

You two would be identical twins. Almost enough to make me want to check your wrist for a tattoo. You even sound like him, like a man raised in Canarsie.

[rgoren-nypd.livejournal.com]

I was raised in Canarsie.

*strangled laugh* Next you're going to tell me your name is Robert Goren.

[rgoren-nypd.livejournal.com]

Uh...

[adalia-krause.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, Mab. *offers hugs*

[mabofwinterdark.livejournal.com]

*hugs her gently* I'm lucky I don't hate it.

[adalia-krause.livejournal.com]

Please don't hate it. I'm sure that the pain will fade, with time. It most likely won't go away, but it becomes bearable.

[mabofwinterdark.livejournal.com]

I don't want to, it matters too much to me.

[adalia-krause.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. Can you find things about it that aren't painful?

[mabofwinterdark.livejournal.com]

Not really, but I'm trying. Watching and caring for the children.

Most people hate New York. It smells bad and it's crowded.

[mabofwinterdark.livejournal.com]

I don't hate it. I've loved it since it was first built. But the memories associated with it...they're too much.

[gradyforhire.livejournal.com]

Then you should do what any smart person would do. Leave.

[mabofwinterdark.livejournal.com]

That's the plan.

[gradyforhire.livejournal.com]

I've always found that talking about it, instead of just doing it, is an indication of uncertainty.

[mabofwinterdark.livejournal.com]

Amazingly I'm not excited about leaving behind the city that reminds me so much of my now dead husband, for all the necessity of it.

[star-core.livejournal.com]

Then stay away.

[mabofwinterdark.livejournal.com]

I'm working toward that.

[star-core.livejournal.com]

Alright.

[mabofwinterdark.livejournal.com]

It takes a little time to finish my business there.

[star-core.livejournal.com]

Send someone else?

[mabofwinterdark.livejournal.com]

I will not be a coward in this.
