But still, part of her keeps crying out that she doesn't have to be everywhere, if she could just be in the right place at the right time.
"I tried," she says, eyes unfocused. "I really tried. An' I thought I could do it. Almost did. Just a couple more minutes, s'all it would'a took. If I hadn't... hadn't stopped so long in the bar t'say goodbye. If I'd just left Beaut, and we didn't have t'waste the time gettin' the tack..."
She shakes her head, loosely wrapping her arms around his middle to ward off a sudden chill.
"But I couldn't. I think I always knew that, but I just didn't want to admit it. So I learned. The hard way. And now I gotta live with that."
Darkly, she sees the irony in her living with those mistakes while Doc won't ever see the light of another day, but wisely doesn't voice those thoughts.
