Summary
If it was true, if Ronan was merely casting himself to sea to find Adam again, Gansey wouldn’t stop him. Gansey believes in the idea of true love and doing whatever you can to find it more than anyone Ronan’s ever met. He believes in true love so much that Ronan’s never felt like he needs to give it a thought. Like Gansey’s belief might be enough to manifest it for the both of them. Other people find it to be naive, but Ronan finds it comforting, along with the rest of Gansey’s optimisms. He needs Gansey to stay in love with the possibility inherent in the world so he doesn’t lose faith in it entirely.
“But it won’t hurt if it happens anyway, right?” Gansey says. “If maybe in the course of things you find that boy who saved your life and can thank him properly? I know you, Ronan Lynch, don’t even pretend I don’t.”
Ronan glares at him. It’s a look that’s intimidated many a pirate and soldier. It has never once intimidated Gansey. When Gansey refuses to be sufficiently cowed, Ronan looks away. “It doesn’t matter anyway,” he mutters. “He’s a fucking myth.”
“We both know that’s not how hearts work,” Gansey says. He leans forward against Ronan’s weight and plants a quick kiss to Ronan’s cheek.
