"While she went to talk to Steve, something I wish I could do but know I am not ready for, I set up safe passage across to Europe. Distance between us and America is the safest thing I can do right now, the only way I can hope to guarantee her safety is by taking her away from this. While I feel as though I've known her for such a short amount of time when I add it all up, there is an underlying trust that I feel with her. When we are together in this small motel room, she acts as though we have known each other all our lives. In reality, she's been inside of my head and I can see why she feels that way. I can also see in her eyes that somehow I am one of the only people she trusts. While I can't quite understand how she can trust me while she is limping and having a hard time breathing due to wounds I caused, she doesn't realize how much it keeps me sane.
I trusted her with telling Steve what she thinks he will need to hear. I have no idea what she is going to say, what she is going to tell him or how she might possibly explain to him why I can't face him, but I trust her. Something in the way her eyes focus on me when she speaks to me; for too many years people were afraid to look me in the eyes. Yet Ophelia, she doesn't hesitate to speak her mind around me. She did at first, but that was before I remembered any of it. Any of her. She asked, the other day, if I wanted her to read any of my other memories that I've written down. I don't want her to see it, but maybe one day, she can read these memories.
I don't think she'll need a reminder of what I will be writing in this journal, but life has proven to me time and time again that things don't always go as planned."
