At least Tony remembered that there was stuff he forgot. The hell? Did he have Alzheimer's or something? He wasn't that old.
His pessimism was growing old, though. Claire knew reality was the shit, but there was no point giving up just because they were all going down in flames. "Romance never dies, Tony."
Claire's lips split into a snake of a smile. "Only men."
And women, she thought. But it was a man's job to do the romancing.
She sighed. "Whatever happened to the days of chivalry?"
She didn't expect an answer. Perhaps the women worth chasing were dead too. Herself included.
She looked into his eyes, taking in the pain veiled behind them. "You're dying, aren't you? How long do you have? And why the hell can't you be fixed?"
