Alaska. [He hasn't been back there in years but if they want something that's as far from her husband as they can get and still be in the country, that's it.]
[ It's one of the few times where she learns about him, and Mako shakes her head -- she'd never had opportunity to venture to Alaska, but she's aware (roughly), of what it's like. ]
No, I haven't. [ She muses. ] Tell me more about it.
[It's cold and barren if you go more than hour outside the major cities and maybe that's just perfect for them. Her husband would never think to look there, and it's quiet there and simple and nothing at all like this lifestyle that has her so trapped.]
It's cold a lot, yeah and sometimes there's days when the sun doesn't come up at all. But you can see all the stars every night. And we could curl up by the fire every night.
[ Because it sounds incredible, it sounds wonderful and Mako can imagine the sight of it that it presents and it would be perfect. She could spend her whole life with him and not regret a thing. She brushes her knuckles over his cheek, watching the way he talks about his home, and she leans forward to kiss him. ]
