Dialogue until I

V1: I'm ready for another adventure. I would happily get on a plane to anywhere, tomorrow.
V2: Isn't that what you're doing?
V1: Yes, but. Maybe alone? Alone, alone. All alone. To Europe, or South America!
V2: You only want to be alone for an afternoon. Then you always get lonely. You want to share the journey. You asked for them. They materialized. And now that they are here and happening, you cringe, you want to run.
V1: I don't want to hurt them, to bring them down; I don't want to see them suffer.
V2: Suffering is part of the game. None of us asked for it, but it's what we get. But we also get laughter, and cream cheese, and sunny wintry mornings with lesson birds and pine trees.
V1: I like all those things. And they're here, why should I stray from so much beauty and magic and everyday wisdom? There is more to explore. right where I am.
V2: There's only one way out of this. You have to go straight through. Even when you're muddled, you have an endless well to draw from.
V1: This love is so big. I'll stay with it, shepherd it, watch over it and let it grow. I won't go. Unless they go with me. We are in this together. We're home and she's almost here. The world will wait for us.
