"I have no doubt of it," he replied earnestly and honestly, as he leaned up against her in return, smiling from ear to ear at the notion as he added, "I think they'd love you, Emily."
Had they been through a lot as a couple-more than he knew, admittedly, given the life (or something like it) they'd lived in the future? Yes. Would his parents hold that against her? No, he didn't think so. He just couldn't see his parents...blaming her for his death; no, he had a feeling, if Nicholas Pennyworth ever (somehow) wormed his way into heaven, his parents would give him a right good thrashing, knowing he was to blame for the death of not only their son, but their daughter-in-law as well.
"I mean, you...you love me!" Randall went on to say, as he gazed up thoughtfully at the night skies just outside the window. "You were willing to give up everything you'd ever known just to run away and marry me-I know my ma didn't have to give up as much as you do, but she did sacrifice a lot of her relationships with people she'd known forever to be with my pa, people she thought were her friends...knowing everything you were willing to leave behind in order to start a new life with me...I think they'd be very...moved, by that, seeing that you were happier with me; that we made each other so happy...
...and...I think they'd be furious not at you, but at our murderer," he asserted (would-be murderer now, I hope, he thought to himself). "It wasn't your fault, Emily, and I think they'd see that. They'd see that we love each other, all we've done and would do for each other, and...well, I just think they wouldn't see it all as trouble. I know I don't see it as you getting me into trouble."
Why would he? Was it really trouble if it was all for love? No, he didn't feel that way. It wasn't trouble, not to him.
