Felicity in “Unfinished Business”

Felicity

What your dad does, it's very dangerous. And heroes don't always make it home. [regards Laurel Lance's Black Canary costume] I never forget that. But, you know, I've loved your dad from the first time he brought me a bullet-riddled computer. [winks] Remind me to tell you about that one. That was a long time ago, which means I've loved him for a long time, which means I've worried about him, for a long time. And he, he hasn't always been truthful. He's lied, he's kept secrets. He's not perfect. This life, it's not ideal. But he makes his sacrifices, so we have to make ours. I sometimes think to myself that that's what makes this love deeper than other kinds of love. Know it sounds cheesy, but it does, because we can't take things for granted. We have to live with the fear and the uncertainty that everything can be taken from us in an instant. Because that's the price that we pay for choosing the people that we love. Everything he does, he does for a good reason, or what he thinks is a good reason. So you can worry about your dad, but you have to believe that he's going to be okay. Because that's the only way that this works.
