"It's not." That she'd missed her chance with Ròta was sad, but the sad story had only begun his thinking. "It occurred to me, first, that I couldn't really see a difference between this," Loki slid his hands along her thighs under the water, to emphasize their current closeness, "and what marriage might look like in this place."

Fear of loss, fear of pain, fear that she'd set herself up for a lot of both. Uncertainty about time, about him. They were both semi-frequent undercurrents "So I thought I could make myself and my position less of a question, even if there are things I can't promise."
