The truth is that she could have given him crumbs and he'd have been happy. Whether or not he deserved more wasn't the question and her words break his heart.
"I would give you the world, my love. I would give it to you on a golden platter bedecked with phoenix feathers and song. You're an empress and I would have served you gladly."
No awkward dancing around the truth, not any more. The time for bitterness is past; the time for accusations is over.
"Love is full of peril; it's the most dangerous and thrilling thing in the world. None of us know what we're doing with it: we fumble our way through as best we can."
Bill holds her to him and breathes her in deeply. She reminds him of stardust.
