breathing under water

claire : uh.. even if things were different, im not really into the whole relationship thing right now..

alex: hmm...

claire: just seems like everyone that gets married, gets a divorce.

alex: okay. i think its more like half of all marriages get a divorce or smth.

claire: yeah, but who knows how happy the other half is.

alex: dunno. i still think its worth it.

claire: why?

alex: for moments like these. the way when someone gets you when no one else does.
its definately worth it.

-Season 3, episode 18 of heroes

**

my view on marriage used to be very fairytale-ish,

y'noe, guy comes along-sweep you off your feet-happy ending sort of thing.

probably disney's fault.

as i got older, and perhaps more cynical, i adopted claire's view.

but certain events during the past week...

have had me going all in for alex's.

:D
