"The Iskoort? Sure, if you can convince them that your bad decisions are the most unique bad decisions ever. And no offense Mom, but you've still got nothing on Visser Three," Marco said, smiling weakly.
Maybe if Marco had been how he was before the Melting Clock went and zapped away three years of his life, he'd have been better prepared. Then, he'd have had a few years to get used to Eva as she was now. But now it felt to him like she hadn't really been free that long at all, and most of that was when they were still fighting the way, back home. And mentally, he hadn't really gotten past that distant idea that after the war, things would be different.
It didn't help that even now, they were still in a war.
He shifted a little, uncomfortable about having his own mother apologising to him. "Well, you know if you really want to make things up, you could try not going around doing things like resigning from your job. How am I supposed to hold my wild parties at Cassie's house if you're not working?"
