Yeah, 2010 is where it all started. I had no idea what I was getting into back then, but- strangely, I don't know if I'd take another path then or not. If I did, I wouldn't have met Jesse. I wouldn't have gone through hell, but who knows where I'd be now if I hadn't?

I don't know if I would have been better off or not. Not that you needed to hear all that.

[ Alan lets out a sigh at her admission that no one is using the master bedroom. So much about this is wrong, and all of it bothers Alan. ]

This sucks. I know I can't do much to fix it, but I want you and your Alan to patch things up. To be together again. It's not right.

[ A wild idea enters Alan's mind, and it probably shows on his face, but reason tells him he really shouldn't suggest it. It's a terrible, insane idea. ]

[ Beth crosses her arms. ] Jesse is worth that much to you? You'd go through everything you did with Cauldron Lake JUST to meet her? [ She pauses. ] She's lucky.

[ A ghost of a smile touches her face at his apology. Then, a shrug. There's not much either of them can do. Alan is stubborn -- as this Alan most likely knows. All she can do now is just... wait. Continue on like she can. She can't dance anymore--her injury proved that. Maybe once this Alan returns home hers will come back and either hug her or... serve her divorce papers. ]

I want that too. Maybe he doesn't.

Yeah. She's- Well, she's worth everything. And I know it sounds insane, but I think that your Alan still thinks that about you too. [ It's just figuring out how to make him remember it. ]

I know it was something I'd never wish on my worst enemy, but if it meant the difference between meeting Jesse and never getting to know her, I'd do it again in a minute.

But you're lucky too, and I'm going to make sure that you get what you want too. [ Somehow. ]

I shouldn't be doing this, but- I bet you miss sleeping in the master bedroom. You should go back in there, even if it's just for tonight. If you don't want me next to you, I'll take the floor. I just think you shouldn't be in the guest room anymore.
