Julie's ignoring a hell of a lot. She ignores how he looks down at their arms like a small miracle is being born between them, though in her opinion that's pretty much the truth. She misses Nora suddenly, a huge ache that tears in her chest. It's stupid to need Nora to tell her what an idiot she's being, because she knows. It might feel better to actually hear it, though.
