(it has been hard to be optimistic about going home since she's learned about the garden taking waverly. about doc following her. her being unable to.

how can she have happiness or any moment of light without her sister? it seems impossible. and she knows she'll move heaven and earth to get them back, she always does, she always fights because it's all she knows how to do but sometimes....sometimes she's just so tired. )

I know. I'll save Waverly, because I always do. And the curse will be broken, and maybe we'll finally get some peace.

(but something in her gut tells her they won't, that there will always be new enemies finding them. her fingers squeeze his, she wishes she could give him similar reassurances, but his stor already has an ending, and she doesn't believe in empty platitudes)

All I've ever wanted is to keep my family safe. I'm not always good at it, but I'm never going to stop trying either. And it's worth it to see how happy Waverly and her girlfriend are.
