One with a black eye, the other wrestled to the ground. Both liars, in their own stupid goddamn way.
Jay snorts, rocking his head back to watch the treetops. On instinct, he tips the dead camera to match.
There's a lot--a lot Jay still doesn't know, but this, right now? This is closer to clarity than he's felt in months. Years, maybe.
If he can ignore the island, the magic, the talking rabbit, the massive gap in time, if for a second he squints hard enough that the leaves above him look like oaks, like pines, then he can pretend the pieces sliding into place are important. Significant.
They feel that way, even if he doesn't.
He's not sure what that means. Probably nothing, if he's honest. This hasn't gotten him any closer to tracking down Jessica, to figuring out Alex's motives for coming after them.
But maybe, after this, Tim Wright makes a little more sense. That's something.
"Yeah," he mumbles back, parroting Tim. "'Course you'd be mad."
