'I don't find you funny.''>
And I don't, you know... You joke about everything, from the way you treat everyone to your own failing heart.
Because it is your heart now. It didn't breakdown on Nicky, it didn't stutter and stall out like a second-hand engine. In you, this heart struggles to live.
Natalia doesn't want to like Olivia. Under Olivia's tailored suit and make-up is still the woman who tried to take everything away from Natalia.
I don't want to like you. I don't want to care, no matter the words I read in the bible or the prayers I whisper in church. It's like you don't want to be here... so why should I try and save you?
Natalia doesn't find Olivia funny. Under the skin of sarcasm and layers of business savvy is still some kind of brat who demands and demeans. Underneath everything on the outside is Olivia Spencer, wild and deadly. And Natalia doesn't want to be her friend.
I don't want to be the one you call in the middle of the night. I don't want to be the one who convinces you of all there is to live for. I don't want to be the light to guide you.
Natalia doesn't want to feel these things, quicksilver running in her veins and hot with Olivia's name upon them... these things that propel her forward the very second that Olivia cannot breathe, these things that draw her to Olivia's hands and hold on tightly...
These things that make me beg you to stay and not just for your family, but for... but for...
"And me..." Natalia says out loud, from her lips to God's ears.
