[He is drunk as hell, but sober enough to note that Boone hasn't mentioned a wife before, and if he's here sleeping with him, and Rex is in the room, then it's likely that there's no wife to go back to. Whether it means that she left him or worse. But it sounds like a good memory if it's worth staying in a place that he doesn't especially care for.]

Tell me about her?

[thumbsdown]

[He thinks about the question briefly before replying. Once, he'd told Elle that she was dead and that was all she needed to know. There wouldn't have been much point in mentioning her at all now if he didn't want to talk about her though, and he finds he does.]

Her name was Carla. She used to sing at one of the casinos on the Strip. Went to watch her a few times. She was only a backup singer, but she still had a nice voice. Lived in Vegas all her life. She liked talking, and she liked that I listened too. Lot of times I never knew how to say what I wanted to, but it always seemed like she knew anyway. She was smart like that. Smarter than I was.

[He talks softly, and it's obvious he still loves her. That's not something he's ever tried to hide, though. And lying here with too much whiskey in him, he finds himself missing her again. He always misses her, but it hits him harder some days than others.]

[It is, and it makes his chest pang because it's so familiar. Practically an echo of a hurt that's following him around. Or maybe he's an echo of it, if his came later? Does it matter? Probably not, if they're still in love with ghosts.]

She sounds like a catch. I'm glad you had that chance.

[He traces some dumb print on his blanket with his finger.]

Have you ever met a woman that smiled at you like all she wanted you to do was to smile back? No hugging, no kissing, no "take me now". Just this smile that says, "I would like to see you happy." That was Kate.

[He is about to ask what happened with Carla, and the question almost forms on his lips. But then the "W" doesn't fully come out and he rolls over onto his back again.] Let's not think about the bad. Let's go to sleep with the good.

[thumbsdown]

[Boone doesn't know if he's as glad as he should be. For the most part, he still thinks that if he hadn't fallen in love with her she'd still be alive. When he does feel glad that she loved him, he can't help but feel like he shouldn't. He nods into his arm.]

Yeah.

[Not that Carla ever really had to encourage him to smile. He did it a lot around her anyway. In fact, it was usually him trying to get her to smile in Novac.

He's glad when Niko doesn't ask what happened. It's nice to just leave the conversation there, with the good things about her, than at "she's dead". Whatever happened to Kate, he thinks Niko must feel the same. He turns away from the other man to curl up where he is without worrying about blankets, and falls asleep quickly.]

[He tries to hold onto that good thought, that first smile. The way that Kate made him feel. It is easy to drift off like that, looking at his friend's back.]

[If he hears Boone make a noise in the middle of the night, he'll probably put his hand against his back and mutter at him. Otherwise it's a comfortable space to fall asleep in.]
