[ Maybe some part of him - without ever really admitting it to himself - knew he had to hold on for a purpose. It's the only reason she can think to explain how he could have possibly kept going all those years. Both of them. Their minds told them one thing, that a reunion was impossible, but maybe their hearts knew better.
No matter what, she's grateful he held on, and that she could be the anchor her mother needed as well. They're here now, where they belong.
For the first time since arriving here in Asgard, she spares a thought for Roger. The man she thought she loved. Does love. It's all so complicated now, because he'd left. Just left her alone, and then-
She can't think on it too long, or she'll lose her composure. But it makes her question what she knows about love as it applies to her own life, and how often a love so strong - like what her parents have - ever really happens. ]
That took so much strength. I'd like to think I got that from you.
