“Always a choice. Right or wrong.” Her hands tangle in her hair. “Wrong or right.” Messy brown curls ripple like satin through her fingertips.

“Right.” She clamps her eyes shut. She inhales deeply and shudders as she exhales. “Wrong.”

Her eyes snap open again. “Always a choice.”

Her gaze flicks to Jayne’s. Jayne stares back at her, a confused look on his face. “Huh?”

She recalls what he did, how he turned on her and Simon so easily, how he turned on them to make money.

“You chose wrong. But then you saved us. Right.”

Jayne frowns.

“Wrong, and right.”

I can see Jayne sending her a suspicious glare right about now.

If I had more than 100 words to work with, that'd likely have been the next line. Or similar. :)
