"I do believe I made a mistake today. She was so exhausted from staying up, she could barely get out of bed, but her determination to spend the day with me encouraged her. See, I had the day off and was planning on showing her some more of the world; basic things. Nothing exciting to anyone except her, that's what I love about this, she's excited by going to the market to buy food. She's excited to learn about money, excited to see new faces.
I introduced her to coffee; I myself don't drink it, but I told her that it would keep her awake. Watching her as she sipped at the black coffee was like watching someone take their first swig of vodka; she was disgusted by the taste of it. After telling her she could add things to make the taste a bit better, she added a heap of sugar and it went down a lot smoother after that. It helped, I could tell in the way she walked beside me, the way her curious eyes were ever focused on everything around us.
The market is great for us; no one recognizes us, we're just faces in a flurry of people. Everyone smiles at O; they love her. I'm amazed at how truly kind she is to the bottom of her heart, she gives everyone respect and speaks with such admiration to everyone. After everything she went through, she is still the epitome of humanity in my life. Seeing her out there, as if we have these normal lives without a history with HYDRA, it really is giving me hope that all that is finally behind us. It's naïve, I know, but Ophelia has never skewed my judgement in a bad way before, so maybe that feeling I have is right."
