A chuckle. "Almost finished. If the writer could sit down and hammer out a better ending."
He'll never hear the end of it from Mike, he realizes, and there's a strange sort of fondness that comes with it. A familiarity that was lost for nearly 27 years suddenly regained. So much of his life, of the people who made him who he is, had all but disappeared for so long.
He can't help but wonder if, when he crosses that fateful border, if the Derry fog will descend on his mind again and wipe the slate clean. While a part of him thinks it might be easier, the other part, largely winning, wants to keep the events of the past week or so close to his heart.
"Mike's even closing up shop in a few weeks. Looks like we're all getting out of dodge while we still can. Told him he could always flee to the other side of the country." He pauses, considering his words as shifts against the post, turning to look at her. "You could, too. Plenty of room in Hollywood."
The buzz and art of the city sure put Derry to modern shame, with its high buildings and wide, open skies. "The traffic will make you want to throw yourself in the Barrens, though."
