“I imagine giving up. No more peering through windows, mourning the loss of a life that could never again be mine. No more hopeless desire. No more uncertain future. No more terror.”

“See," she said,
"I can hold on to you while everything else changes."
And she thought she was safe
and so, in that safety, could face whatever was
to come.
And then all of a sudden that you is gone--
that person, that family, that home,
that job (maybe even that occupation), maybe even
that country, that world--
and there's nothing to hold onto at all,
and that self, that life, is gone as well,
and yet more self--truer self--than ever before.
And how can that all be so true
at the same time?
And yet it is.”

“I’m going to go back and stop your son from killing her.”
The queen’s face fell. For a moment, she looked as old as the years she’d spent lying in a suspended state. “That is not a small mistake to fix. If you do this, Time will take something equally valuable from you.”
The Fate gave the queen a look more vicious than any curse. “There is nothing of equal value to me.”
