There were times not so very long ago when he wished he'd never met Kitty, never loved her -- and yet.
In the past few months he's been surprised, just a little, to realize that that's not true any more. He still loves her, still misses her, but the sharp misery has faded gradually away.
"It hurt us to leave Narnia," he says finally, and quietly. "And all our dear friends there. Every time, it was miserable to leave."
"But I'll never wish we'd not lived in Narnia and loved it so, no matter how much that hurt."
"I should think the same is true here at Milliways."
