Mariana's POV

Today, we head to Boston
Everything was to set in motion
Lines will be drawn and bonds will either be broken... or hopefully stay strong

But I had little hope in any of these
The Fords would hate us after I killed Irene
They'd also now think I was dealing with Jack Nelson of all people

Tommy and Michael was... a true toss of a coin
Tommy always came out on top and yet... I wasn't sure this time
Michael had a lot of hatred. And he'd been raised and trained into this business by Tommy himself.

He knows Tommy's head, his business strategies
And he had his mother's intelligence

There was too much to think of
Finn
Arthur
Tommy
Alfie

The only person I didn't have to worry for was Ada
And that was a rare win

"I hear you're boarding a boat off to the promise land" a voice chirped up beside me
I left the bags I was packing into the car and looked at Diana
Leaning against the side of the car

Smiling as always
"Yes. And you're at my house because?" I asked
"Well I wanted to wish you well. And invite you to mine and Oswald's wedding" she said, holding an envelope out

"I think I'll be busy" I said sadly
"You don't know when it is" she said
"And yet" I countered
She held strong for a moment, before dropping her arm
"Fine. I see you people let your feelings run deeply" she said

"Yes. I don't think Lizzie would like seeing me off to a wedding of yours would she?" I asked
"Mine and Tommy's... brief encounter, was necessary, to balance things, make them fair" she said

"No, because Oswald didn't even know you when he paid for Lizzie. As she didn't know any of us. Unfortunate things happen in life Diana, you don't need to balance anything just to make yourself feel better" I explained

"You are insightful too" she commented
"You know she left him" I said, continuing to pack my cases
"I do"
"And you know it's all your fault" I went on
"I do" she repeated airily

"Then there's nothing left to say is there?" I smiled, shutting the door, heading up the steps to the house

"Is it coincidence that you and Tommy both leave for America today?" She asked, cocking her head
I chuckled
"So that's why you're here, Oswald's worried?" I laughed, turning to look at her, now leaning against the brick wall
