"You do know most everyone else on the planet actually likes the ocean, right?"
Steve batted it back, droll unimpressed rise that actually makes his mouth tug a little tauntingly crooked and edgily expectant. "That they consider it calming? Rolls in and out. Rhythmically. Looks nice. It's actually suggested as a meditation technique. To help with breathing. Relaxing. Several types of therapy."
Not that Steve would count it as one himself. And he's had enough mandatory therapy to last a long, long while.
That he's not about to go near with a ten foot pole where it comes to Doris, or Danny, at this point. The ocean isn't that to him. It's too many others things. It calls to him in a way that house doesn't. Maybe in a way he thinks the house, and Hawaii, should, but doesn't. Especially not after Doris turned out to be alive.
It has less weight, less history, attached to it, even if it drags heavier the long he's grounded.
Which is another thing he really doesn't think Danny understands. Anyone understands. Except Cath.
Cath who has the thanks for everything else going on in his head, and who, probably, isn't wrong either.
