Having made herself to home in both the dreams of Derek and Adam had left Venus feeling both disjointed and thoughtful. Such horror and such darkness, inflicted by other people. Not by chance or fate, but by human beings. It makes her so angry.
Perhaps it is that this place collects very damaged people.
On one of her days off from the health club, before she takes Derek his lunch, she walks. No longer in high heels, but in comfortable walking shoes (cute little pink Keds that please Venus when she looks down at them), she walk. There's just that hint of the coming fall and winter in the air.
Venus trades in optimism. She has to. The world is too dark otherwise. She finds herself sitting on the merry-go-round and thinks of the profundity of hope. Of what it means. Of the power of it. Even if it isn't real, if it's imagined. The idea of hope. "Ask not what this place can do for you," she whispers to herself, letting the words get lost in the breeze, "but what we can do for this place." And the damaged, beautiful people in it.

And he'd kissed her high up in the sky and it had been so nice. "Are you glad that Ronan made you ride all those rides? If I was feeling a little low, I'm not so sure I would feel so generous," she teases about herself. She does, though, reach over to give Adam's knee a squeeze. She does matter and it matters that Adam thinks so. That matters.
