@red-gate said "what don't i know about you?"

even now, even dead the question makes him feel as though he is breaking out in hives. suddenly, the air in his lungs feeling much heavier than before. his eyes close for a moment feeling grateful that tonight had been a whiskey night instead of hot cocoa. "nothing, mom." his voice uncharacteristically softer than usual. "you knew all my fucks up." a small laugh cutting through the night. he couldn't make it worse now. he couldn't tell her.

he had already caused her so much suffering this past year, and now he couldn't be the reason she was hurting again. he had already done enough. this was his redemption. this is how he would help. he would stay here in this kitchen and show up for as long as she needed someone to talk to. shaking his head he ran through something that he could tell her, "well, this one i think you know but you know that party boat that grandad hated, that kept stopping in front of clairmont? ( ... ) we all went out that night together. i think that's how ed got them to stay away." a smile curled up his lips at the memory as he stared down at his glass. "otherwise, the only other thing is that badminton is a scam for people who can't play tennis."

@red-gate said "i haven't forgotten what you said last week."

there's a charming roguish smile playing on his face at his mother's words. "what was it again?" this is one of his signature roles in their house, the charming forgetful comedian. everything was always easier if it was kept surface level, to let everything roll off his back. they had always been taught since kids to keep the skeletons in their closet hidden, and here now, on this island, everyone had to be perfect.

turning around he snaps his finger pointing at the house. "i remember now. i was thinking we could lean into the family photo tradition this year with matching t-shirts like all of those tourists on the cape."

do you remember what i told you last time?

have you been doing well since i saw you?

that's not what you told me back then.

when was the last time i saw you?

you were shorter then.

i'm picking the restaurant this time.

we've known each other since we were children.

always knew i could count on you.

that time was different. this is worse.

you're not going to let me live that down, are you?

i seem to remember a conversation we had back then.

so you changed your mind about it?

do you remember our encounter in paris?

you should know me by now.

am i the only one that knows the truth?

we had a lot of help back then.

your mom told me to look out for you.

you just love bringing that back up to annoy me.

maybe don't mention my past indescretions?

this was never going to work out between us.

i told you not to get attached.

i know more about you than you think.

i was there, remember?

i'm not about to forget all the shit you put me through.

you told me you were going to try and make this work.

remember what i said to you?

the last time i saw you, things were good between us.

you never mentioned this before.

that was the longest flight of my life, and you made it worse.

can i still trust you after all that?

at least we tried to make something work.

we never discussed what happened between us.

okay, but i'm driving the car this time.

i haven't forgotten what you said last week.

i'm still thinking about your comment.

i didn't realize it was you when i first saw you.

you seem to make a lot of enemies around here.

there's not much for us to talk about.

we worked it out last time.

i know you far better than you know yourself.

we have a long history.

is that the shirt you were wearing last time?

what don't i know about you?

i haven't told them about us.

you were the only person i could go to.

you know me.

this is bigger than both of us.

i can't stand your driving.

are you taking me to the place we had dinner last time?

that's not at all what you said.

didn't we agree on that?

i thought i made it very clear where i stand.

are these the same people that came after you last time?

are you still going on about it?

can we talk about it?

staying silent about it won't help.

you're the only person who knows the real me.

this is a bad time to talk about your problems.
