(it's true. and without curtis she wouldn't have her beloved motorcycle, the true tragedy, obviously.)

I didn't plan on coming back. I never realized how much you wanted to. But then when Curtis died...I had to. It was too suspicious, given how close it was to my birthday. And I'm glad I did...I mean, as much as being the heir has sucked at times, having you back in my life has saved me a bunch of times. I can't imagine leaving you now -- but if I did, I can promise you I'd always come back.

(it never occurred to her that maybe, waverly needs to hear that, but it does now.)

I don't want to lose that either -- not when I almost already did. But I guess...even now it's hard to feel like I deserve that kind of happiness. Especially with.... (and she's tried not to bring this up, because she knows she and waverly see willa very differently, and for valid reasons.)

Willa being around hasn't helped. A reminder of what I'm capable of, when push comes to shove.
