Which are all very good points that Will has thought through, naturally. But April has been here far longer than Will and has a rather good logic for the whole issue worked out, and Will can't deny the whole truth of the matter that, as long as they're here? This is what they've got. To refuse to live in any other way was akin to denial, and being afraid to make the best of it while this was their life, their home, their world was worse: it was starvation. Sure, he could go back to Baltimore, already had. Sure, she could back to Pawnee. Sure, they could go from there to here and be all sorts of different, physically, mentally...but as long as they were here and this was home? Treating it like anything else wasn't on the menu.

Of course either could vanish for good, and that would be a painful experience, but if they held back out of fear, who found any victories there? Will had already lived one life practically bludgeoned by fear, and it was a shitty, bloody mess. Why continue that misery?

Give him a few weeks to change that whole marriage aspect; he's working on it.

"These won't, no. You have my word." Speaking of words that taste like ash in the mouth: those. He drops his voice though, edges in a little closer as they walk so he isn't difficult to hear (sweet winter child Will Graham). Is this some liaison business, did Clark run into Chilton again, is it something completely not at all sinister? "And sure, I don't have any other plans for the next couple of hours. Where do you wanna go?"
