Turning her head to look at him, her unnaturally vibrant eyes were skeptical. “Thirty million, seven hundred and fifty-eight thousand, four hundred seconds in a year. Terran of course. All of those I don’t need sleep for. Any one of those seconds could have been a moment like this where you said similar words. Why now?” she asked softly. A part of her wanted to be angry and cold towards him, but even him standing there made that at least partially impossible. After all, they hadn’t split because they didn’t love each other. It just wasn’t… enough.

“Would it have made things better? I guess that is to be determined now…” Jarred said as he shifted his stance as he looked at her. “Besides, you are someone I still care for… and our lives… have changed. I fear in my effort to find myself I left you to rot alone by yourself, which isn’t fair. On top of wanting to make sure you know I still care and still see you as a friend… a lot of things have changed… or nothing has I guess depending on your perspective.” Jarred said as he pondered on the best way to broach this to her.

It was clear by her expression that she wasn’t going to dispute his assessment.

“I guess I should just start with the obvious… rumors will spread if you hadn’t heard them even if she hasn’t been here long. My.... my daughter is moving in, she just arrived yesterday with my parents. I know that statment alone must come as a shock and I felt I shouldn’t be hiding her anymore to the people I care and love. So it’s time I man up, stop being scared and start being honest.”

She stared at him uncomprehendingly. People arriving she knew- there were people coming and going and it wasn’t difficult for her to connect dots and manifests and what nots. But his words felt like there were in another language and she suddenly had no access to the UT. “Come again? I don’t… I don’t understand.”
