"Know what you'll do when you get out of here?"
...Nobody ever asked her that. Sometimes she wished they did. Sometimes.
Then she realized she never asked them that. Then she remembered why. Then she realized that she didn't even goddamn know how she would answer that question. Besides "no. I don't".
She considered asking Ethan, one stuck moment. Promptly imagined him sayin' something like - "first, let's worry about getting out of here".
And she smiled like he had said it. Heard herself laugh the thought clear a' her lungs - say "that sounds like a plan".
All in good time.
July 13th. "Hope".
