[Mandy snorts a little, even if he may have meant it in a different way, if she thinks about it her perception of her life was changed pretty quickly all things considered]

Yeah. In some cases, a single day can do it even for mortals who are a little slow on the uptake.

[like the day your husband fakes his own death and doesn't tell you he's doing it so you find out after the rest of the world.

She chuckles]

I guess not. I didn't precisely get the last word, but I made my point in a dramatic enough fashion it might have gotten through.

[maybe. She doesn't know if Brian even remembers that, considering everything he was doing at the time.

She smirks]

It is. I actually think I'd rather see a few people from home here rather than go back, mostly because for some of them I think it would be...better. [like it has been for Arthur. Curt could use this, a place where Brian Slade's shadow isn't hanging over them, where they could just be people instead of fictions again]
