So find another way around it. Everyone has leverage, figure out what will work for her ingrate husband. If he's using suicide to threaten her, I sincerely doubt he'll actually go through with that. That's too selfish, and suicide isn't something you commit to on specific circumstances.

I mean to. I did tell them, d'Artagnan. The only reason I'd been keeping it quiet was the fact I didn't want them to hear yet. The universe we're in now, no one cares who I take to bed. I have that freedom already.

Do you really think it’s that easy to get rid of a marriage? Even if it were, I can’t give her the life he could. Especially not now that I’m here.

I’m glad you told them, though. Does this mean it’s no longer a secret, from anyone?
no subject
I really do. You're giving her a life with you. If she loves you as much as you love her, it won't matter how much better or worse it is.

No longer a secret. Shout it from the hilltops if you'd like. [ actually no pls don't ]

I don't doubt how she feels. It's just not that simple. It's never been that simple.

But that's good. I'm glad you told them, Jack.
no subject
I thought that too, once. [ and look what happened to him. ]

Yeah, well, touching as this is, I think Hanna's about to drag me into the surf for being anti-social. Are you on your way?
no subject
Yes. I'll see you soon, Jack.
