good  thing  lou  isn't  here  to  psychoanalyze  me.  you  are,  though.  (  she  hums  quietly  and  looks  up  at  him.  with  him,  it's  easier  for  her  anxiety  and  fears  to  be  muted.  company  would  be  nice.  )  but  pearl  gets  it.  chucky  doesn’t.  (  despite  her  words,  she  moves  over  and  brings  her  knees  to  her  chest.  )

            don't  let  lou  hear  you  say  that.    {  randy  mutters,   the  expression  lacking  the  fullness  of  how  fond he's  trying  to  be.   he  knows  better  than  anyone  that  buffy  isn't  doing  as  well  as  she's  claiming.  of   course  he  does.  }    no  offense,   baby,   but  that  looks  like  how  i  coped  in  '96.   if  i  had  to  be  told  charles  lee  ray  wasn't  a  solid  therapist,   you  have  to  hear  the  same  about  pearl.    ( .. )    you  want  some  company?
            
            *    they're  doing  so  good !!   never  seen  two  functioning  best  friends  up  until  them  fr !!

(  she  nods  along,  a  comforting  feeling  being  brought  with  the  idea  of  him  just  being  there.  )  uhhh-  friday  at  twelve,  i  think.  they  wanna  check  my  leg  reflexes  and  see  how  they're  healing.  same  thing  with  the  shit  on  my  side.  they  said,  and  i quote,  "i've  never  seen  someone  get  so  close,  yet  miss."

            'course  i  will,   princess.    {  the  response  comes  easier  to  him  than  anything  else  will  today,   drumming  his  fingers  on  the  table  in  thought.  }   what  time  is  it  gonna  be?    we  can  make  a  day  outta  it.
            
            *   ellie-marie  agrees❗   they  are  so  twins  who  have  no  problems  whatsoever 

no  you  /  cannot  /!  you  tell  momma  or  dewey  everything.  ://  (  she  crosses  her  arms  and  sinks  into  the  seat,  opening  her  mouth  to  begin  her  rambles.  )  okay.  so  tara  told  me  she's  totally  in  love  with  elsie,  right?  and  i  didn't  need  her  to  say  that,  but  still.  then  she  said  that  els  didn't  like  her  back.  and  i  said  otherwise.  and  i  know  i  totally  spilled  her  business,  but  it  was  needed.  anyways,  now  tara  is  planning  on  asking  her  out.  except,  knowing  them,  it'll  take  twenty  years.  i'll  have  a  kid  by  the  time  they  hold  hands  romantically.

            hey,  your  old  man  can  keep  a  secret !    {  the  rebuttal  is  paired  with  a  fond  grin  as  he  watches  his  daughter,   reminded  in  a  flash  of  juliette  herself.  }    wanna  tell  me  what's  going  on,   boo?
