“…A chance……… what, with me?” Does Neal think about this? God, he hopes the man knows how much greener grass looks from the other side of the fence. “I mean… I wouldn’t have turned you away. For. However long it lasted. You’re just…… you could have anyone, Neal. Do you think you’d really want me like that when the universe is your oyster? I’d have been very lucky, in that version of reality, if you did. So lucky. I hope the person you end up with understands how lucky they are. If they don’t, please bring them by so I can tell them.”
