[Angela nods, clearly catching the non-verbal response. No words are needed. She knows how the City likes to play jokes with horrible memories. They've kept her up at night here on more than a handful of occasions.]

Kirk wanted me. I wouldn't let him have me except for three weeks out the year. Every year during week two, he would either ask me to move cross country with him or marry him. I always told him no and gave him some excuse when I knew damn well I just didn't want to settle down. For the longest, I thought that maybe if I did settle, we wouldn't have taken that vacation and maybe he wouldn't have gotten killed and maybe he would still be alive today.

[There's uncertainty behind Angela's look. On the outside, she looks just like somebody retelling a painful past should look and that's how she feels. On the inside, however, she's not sure why she's telling this to Cameron, of all people. Not even Robert knows this much about Kirk; he knows that Angela lost somebody close to her, but not the specifics about the murder. But she's on a roll and she's already said this much. She might as well finish things out.]

I don't live in the past now. When he--Robert--asked, I jumped. I like him, to state the obvious. He makes me happy. [He gives her something to hold on to when one by one, everybody she cares about leaves.] But I don't want there to be hard feelings between us. If I were in your position, I'd feel the same as you, but still, no hard feelings. We didn't get off to such a hot start, but I hope you find somebody that makes you happy too.
