I know, but you just have to try and hold onto that first part. No matter what else happens, or how hard it gets, it's worth it to have had the time we've had with the people we love.

[It's what got him through losing Trisha, it's what's getting him through losing Ed again.]

[spoileralert]

I... I'll try.

[ But it's at least partly a rational fear, and it's not so easy to push that aside.

Since she's told him anyway, though, maybe there's another solution. ]

Will you... look out for me? Make sure I don't do anything stupid?

[armoured]

Of course I will, you don't even have to ask.

[He wishes she were there right now so that he could hold her.]

No matter what else happens, Steph, you'll always have me.

[spoileralert]

[ She sighs her relief, feeling much better already. ]

It's good just to hear you say it.

[armoured]

I'll say it as many times as you need to hear it, I promise.

[Even if he has to call her up each day.]

[spoileralert]

You're the best, Al. I love you.

[armoured]

I love you too, Steph.

[The smile is pretty clear in his voice.]

Take care, okay? I'll talk to you again soon.

[spoileralert]

G'night, Al.
