"We are entirely new people; I see that fully now. Ophelia has emerged into this incredible person; she loves everything that the world has to offer, but she isn't naïve enough to ignore the bad. She loves being informed, if she could read every book in the world, she would. I am finally not worrying about money, and about her leaving for work because the apartment is all we can afford. Once again, I am reminded that she doesn't want anything more than what we have. Having had the life she did, what we have now is so much in comparison. There is something truly beautiful in this relationship that we have; it's a normal I never thought was possible to achieve when I pulled her from the river.
Thinking back to that time, I'm disgusted in myself for only saving her life for my own advantages. But there was a crack in my Winter Soldier mind, a crack that allowed me to peer out and see that she was not only useful, but just as broken as I was. Things turned out far better than I expected; even when I regained some of my own mind I thought that there was no possible way Ophelia would stick around. But that look in her eyes, the desperation to keep me around because she loved me... That look doesn't show up in her eyes as much anymore, because she knows I am not going anywhere. But I realize that I now have that look in my eyes.
I do love her.
I just don't know how to say it."
