[Cu was never bothered by facts like that much, mostly because they were true and he didn't care. He's fucked around with girls and he's pissed them all off, and he's not so heartless that he didn't care that he hurt people, but nothing was important enough to linger. He'd just move on, try to do better, fuck up a little less, and repeat the process.

That was it. That was all, and it was okay.

Losing Diarmuid isn't okay. He doesn't like the idea of forgetting about Diarmuid a second time, not when he knows now what could happen and what has already happened. Maybe Diarmuid was crazy, saying he didn't look hard enough, but he can't claim ignorance anymore. He can't leave someone he loves to surrender themselves to that.]

Yeah, and that's why you can't just take off. I'll get over it, and it wouldn't be fair.
