[ Knowing your face doesn't automatically stop it from consuming you. It doesn't mean that you'll emotionally be ready for what it holds. Jamie can try and use the knowledge he has to fight through this fog, but there's no telling where he'll come out. Or even if he will. All he can try to do is believe in his wife. Believe in the future she told Jamie about beyond Paris and Randall. The way they mended back together stronger than before.
But she brushes aside his inquiry about her hair. Now is not the time or the place for long stories. Especially ones where he knows time has passed. She's closer now and still. It gives him a chance to really observe his wife's face. See the changes. His wife may have aged, but it's difficult to say by how much. Her hair says one thing, but her face another. ]
Aye. I do. [ He nods. He knows what she's truly asking him. Beyond the obvious. She's asking if he remembers what she told him. About Paris and his journey towards righting himself in the wake of Randall. ] All of it. Have ye been alright? [ His eyes searching her face. ] Na one's tried t' harm ye have they?
