It's...[ she stammers, caught off guard. ] It's okay.

Just -- this? Kinda out of the blue.

I know it is, but I wanted to apologize anyway. [He doesn't really want to explain the reasons...]

How are things since Jack came back?

...Complicated.

[ she sounds a little distracted as she answers. something tells her this isn't just about the apology. ] But that's about par for the world's most complicated golf course.

He does remember though, doesn't he? [He seemed to remember Raven when they spoke.] So it can't be that hard, can it?

He remembers. And that's a mercy.

But there are other things that are complicated and...well? I should just stop expecting it to be easy.

Does he still feel the same way about you?

He does. He really does. He lived another two years back home, Raven. When he came back? He came back with two whole years of missing me that hit him all at once.

How can I match that? [ she's only just now warming up to the concept of loving him. ]

[Two years... Raven waited ten to see her again. Is this how she felt when he told her the truth? Is this what went through her mind as well? He didn't know, and he didn't know what to say or think.]

You don't have to match those years. You just have to keep being who you are, and feeling the same way you do.

...Sometimes you sound like a greeting card, Raven.

[ a beat. ] I don't mean that like a bad thing.

I was never any good at emotional things, mainly because I don't like talkin' about my own. You women are complicated.

Everyone's complicated. The plumbing's got nothing to do with it. We womenfolk are just more honest about how complicated we are and don't try and hide it under a whole extra mess of pretending not to be complicated.

You're jokin', right? I'm the most complicated man you'll ever meet! I never said I pretend not ta be.
