All he can hear is shredding. Systematic, almost musical. She’s been doing it for an hour and he’s been drinking for just as long. It works so well -- every minute or so he takes a drink, and when his glass is empty, he pours himself another one

Oh, this was so great! The voices you gave both of them are so perfect (so crisp and slightly vulnerable for Romola! just the right amount of drunken pseudo-lecherous charm for him!) and I could picture them both so well in my head. I loved the quiet intimacy you built between the two of them through this and all the hints to how much trouble they're in and how, despite that, they're in it together.
He’s less drunk than he was before, the steep cliff of sobriety ready to ground him for a few hours, but he’s drunk enough to be optimistic. It doesn’t make her smile like he thought it might.
I especially loved this part! What am I talking about - I loved it all! Thank you so much for writing this!!!!! If anything you've made me THAT much more into these two! haha

The first mistake they made, he said, was trusting Goode.
That’s all on you then, Romola said, her mouth warm and wet at his ear. I never trusted him.

In the bathroom at a motel in Vancouver they are both still dressed for the desert.
“You’re gonna need to hide that accent,” Liev says. He twists the knob on the radiator but the heat won’t flow.
Her grin is wicked and tired when she says, “And there goes my charm.” She must be cold, but she keeps her bare arms hanging free at her side, like the temperature is a mere afterthought she has yet to consider.
To be fair, there are a great many other things to consider.
Look, I was just super into whatever was happening here and Ben Foster being sad and smitten despite the fact that she shot him so let's roll with that
Warning: it's 3 am and this is probably terrible because I never share or even finish something but my emotions and a sugar overload pushed me to this.

It started when Ruth came by his place after he was finally discharged from the hospital. The lack of eye contact isn't what made it obvious to Patrick - she was never good at lying.
When Patrick asked her why she was there and she stared off, he was reminded of the time when they were just kids and Bob Muldoon took the blame for a pack of gum Ruth had stolen. Bob was always covering for her. He was always there for her until he wasn't. Patrick knew she didn't need anyone's help, but he also knew that she would have made many more stupid decisions if she didn't have someone looking out for her. Whether it was Skeritt or Bob or even Freddy, someone always had her back

I enjoyed that immensely! You nailed the conflicting emotions and I liked that Patrick knew that she'd never really be able to let Bob go and accepted that as a basic fact of her being.
