"What? So I can die that much sooner -- with boredom scribbled on the toe-tag as my cause of death?"
Big words. Broad claims. Boredom was never quite the problem. Peggy didn't act out because she was bored, but because she saw a hundred little things that weren't being accomplished. Every speck of neglected evidence was a point on which she focussed and asked herself...would Steve have cared?
Yes. Overwhelming (always) yes. But months turn into a year, and she relearned how to care in her own right. And all that care had brought her to the jaws of this city. There were secrets locked up at its heart: the kind that might propel mankind forward by leaps and bounds. Howard had assured her and (against all natural judgement) she believed him.
Peggy paused before a particularly vertical drop. He had only a few steps needed to draw equal with her.
"This," she reiterated, "is what makes life worth living."
Not so much the adventure but the...productivity of it all. The opportunity to make good work of idle hands.
