"Thank you."

Could he let go of Bill? Frankly, Ford feels that yes, he could. He could go on surviving in a world without Bill in it, especially if he had his family. He doesn't feel like he needs to dog Bill's every move in order to protect the universe.

But he doesn't want to. Ford wants the kind of future that has both his family and Bill in it, even if the two don't overlap, the kind he and Bill talked about. This romance -- this is it. Nothing else is going to quite compare to what he and Bill went through. While, in many ways, that's a good thing, it also means finding another romance that packs the same punch is not going to happen. Life with Bill in it is harder, sure, but when has Ford ever done anything because it was easy?

(Stealing portal parts from C.S.O. doesn't count. Ford would have built it from scratch if it had been viable.)

He gets a little lost in thought for a moment there, gazing into the middle distance, drink in hand. He's visibly distracted.

"Another shot for 'em."

Distracted: she can tell.
