And she never could now, not since — well. It's constantly in her mind and in front of her face. And, to be fair, she's not all that fond of his future.
"Y'think gettin' letters with 'bitch' an' sexual propositions is bad, y'wouldn't wanna see how I'd be treated in polite society. Funny, though — I guess the future ain't all that different after all. But that's neither here nor there. I reckon what I should've said is I chose t'throw my future away. What chance did I really have, anyway?"
She breathes a quiet, wry laugh.
"Jus' — remember another thing we got outta the way 'fore we was ever intimate is that y'wouldn't lie t'me. That means makin' promises y'can't keep, too. I dunno what it means t'you t'make this whole thing worth it; I've realized that we see things awful different since gettin' back together. But, like I told you, I knew what I was gettin' into, Tommy, an' I chose t'get into what it was at face value, an' if y'go actin' different an' tryin' t'make things better an' treatin' me like somethin' special, an' y'get my heart all tied up in it, an' in you, an' then y'walk away—"
She's getting visibly upset now. That would be more cruel than just using her for sex.
