Maeve doesn't know if anyone has ever picked her. Her parents certainly didn't, both of them fucking off before she was even in double digits, her brother hadn't, running off to America without even letting her know where he was going or if he was alive. Jackson had wanted some other version of her, someone to save him, and Otis had picked Ola.

But Steve is telling her plainly he wants her over a future they may or may not ever have.

"I want to be with you, too," she says. "And maybe... I don't know, maybe being with you, the two of us together, maybe I won't feel this way down the line. I can't promise I'll change my mind, but I can promise I'll be open to it, if it happens. If our lives... if we end up there. If my heart changes."
