Roles To Play
“Wally wants to show me what ‘really good TV’ is,” M’gann says. “But even if Hello, Megan! is his idea of really bad, that show meant a lot to me. It still does.”
Conner nods. “I’m getting that.”
“Are you sure you’re not mad at me? For not showing you what I...” She flicks her gaze downward. “Really look like?”
“If I was, I’m pretty much over it,” he promises. “You created the person that you wanted to be, just like I had to.”
“Thanks.” She reaches for his hand. “You’re the best, Conner.”
“Is that a line from the show?” Conner tries to joke.
“It’s still true,” she whispers.
Conner kisses her, lets her lean against his shoulder, and thinks about how eager she was to be a cheerleader, go to dances, and grumble about her history homework. He loves that M’gann takes so much joy in her life on Earth. He doesn’t mind that her joy has its origins in a TV fantasy of what she thought life on Earth should be like.
He almost doesn’t care that he’s somehow part of it.
