Laughing softly when she admitted she did want to stab her eye with a fork, James shook his head and sighed softly. “It’s an important part of the job,” James advised her. “The more you’re on friendly terms with clients the more they’re willing to open up about themselves and information that could possibly make or break the case. Would you rather have someone who keeps information because they don’t trust you as their lawyer and friend or someone who’ll tell you everything?”

“I don’t need to be their friend and they don’t have to trust me as a person, they just need to trust my skills.” She never understood why some clients needed to have some sort of emotional bond with their lawyers. Why couldn’t people simply follow their logic rather than their emotions? “I am curious, do you ask your clients if they actually committed the crime?”

“I’m going to be the one getting a headache going to go pick something for her. I can’t remember the last time I went into a store to pick up a perfume for a woman, but I can remember the headache I got afterwards.” He recalled just that one bit of information. “Si from Armani,” he repeated. “I’ll look for it but she if she doesn’t like it, I’m blaming you.” He teased. 

“Ugh it’s the worst. I even get headaches if someone sprays too much perfume around me. Imagine the torture I endure while I am picking up a perfume for myself. Luckily I found the perfect one years ago and I’ve been using it ever since.” She said with a smile. “It’s fine, you can blame, I don’t mind. It’s better than her being upset with you.”

“You know what I would’ve done – agreed with her and kept asking questions to see how far she was willing to keep the charades going. I know that normally you aren’t supposed to tell them about yourself but if you tell them lies and they assure you that is all real, that’s one way to get them.”

“I couldn’t listen to her bullshit. I had to stop her.” She said with a chuckle, shrugging her shoulders. “You know what should we do? We should find a popular fortune teller, make an appointment and expose her lies to their customers. People should stop wasting their money on psychics.”

Nora smiled at Liz’s honesty, glancing away from her sister to briefly shake her head. “Just don’t tell Mae that when she gets back here.” Surprisingly, she managed to be even more dramatic while under the influence – something that Nora had never thought was possible. “I never really liked Celine Dion,” she admitted in response to the other’s sarcasm. “Which probably explains this ringing in my ears right now. And, just a head’s up, she’s already signed up for another song in twenty minutes.”

“Would she cry?” Liz asked curiously, her brow raised. Making Nora’s sister cry was the last thing she wanted, so obviously she was going to keep her opinions to herself. “She’s alright. I really don’t have any opinion on her, I just know everybody think she has a great voice.” She shrugged, chuckling lightly. “Are you serious?” Widening her eyes, Liz asked and started shaking her head. “I don’t even know how she does it. I would never go up that stage and sing. No matter how drunk I am.”

[elizabeth-morgan]

noraplatt:

“Her voice is just… like, wow. Totally breathtaking, right?” So, maybe Nora wasn’t cut out for this hype man thing after all, because no matter how hard she tried, she still sounded sarcastic. Watching as her sister swayed on stage, fumbling through an incredibly drunken rendition of It’s Raining Men, Nora was struggling not to laugh – let alone garner her a few extra cheers for the bar’s karaoke contest. At this rate, she’d be stuck with the consolation prize of a coupon for chili cheese fries. “Oh my god…” she murmured lower, snorting a giggle when a particularly off-key note was hit. Shaking her head she chewed at her margarita’s straw. “I still think she’s doing great.” Suuuure.

“We both know it’s not.” Both of them were thinking it but Liz had the courage to say it out loud. Karaoke has never been her thing, there’s no way she would go on the stage and sing in front of people -- even though they were mostly drunk. “She’s doing amazing.” It was her turn to make a sarcastic remark. “It’s like listening to Celine Dion.”

“Oh.” Athena knew other people weren’t always the romantic type but it always shocked her to hear someone openly admit it. “Yeah, no. I just really love it for the scenery and the history. I think it would be an amazing place to go if I ever had the opportunity.” She smiled. “Oh, uh, I was told it was something to do with pressure. I mean, that’s if you’re travelling via plane. Any other form of travel is fine.”

“The history part was very cool and it also has great museums. Louvre was the best part of my trip.” She stated with a nod, chuckling lightly. “As far as I know you can be able to fly until your 36th week. At least that’s what her doctor said to her.”

Watching Elizabeth interacting with his client was rather amusing to James. The young woman looked absolutely pained to be having small talk with the man and with the man being such a boisterous person, it was even more amusing to James. Once they were done chatting, James stepped back and chuckled at Elizabeth when her gaze shifted back to him. “You looked like you were about to stab a fork in your eye,” he whispered into her ear before then grabbing himself another drink and offering one to Elizabeth. “Maybe try not to look like you’re in pain next time?”

Liz started rubbing her cheeks as soon as the guy left, her cheeks were hurt -- pretending to be nice was a lot more exhausting than she thought. “That’s because I wanted to stab a fork in my eye.” She admitted with a sigh, taking the drink from James, although she wasn’t going to drink it. “I will try for sure.” She forced a chuckle. “It’s part of the job after all.” After a beat, she started talking again. “Do I really have to talk to the clients? Like, what difference does it make? Why do they care?”

lukebrivers:

“What brand do you think would be the most suitable for a seventy something year old woman? I hear a lot about Lancome on ads and stuff. That sound good?” He’d prefer to get some opinions on it before he went ahead and chose something on his own. “Oh no doubt that those are targeted for certain age groups.”

“I have never used Lancome perfume before maybe they have something suitable. Just buy something with floral smell or maybe fruity? As long as you avoid sugary ones, you’ll be fine. You wouldn’t want to give that poor woman a headache.” She shrugged her shoulders. “My mom loves Si from Armani. That one might suit yours too.”

dr-athenamontgomery:

“I guess it’s overrated cause everyone talks about wanting to go? “City of Love” kinda thing?” She asked. Most people she knew or had talked to had talked about wanting to go to Paris or having been to Paris. “I’m pregnant. I know I read somewhere in my many baby books, that I shouldn’t fly unless I really have to…”

“That’s also a factor. I mean I am not a romantic person, I couldn’t care less about City of Love. Whether it’s Paris or something else.” Liz shrugged her shoulders, wrinkling her nose. “Really? Why not? My sister traveled when she was pregnant.”

Emma nodded as the other spoke, sharing similar views. “I used to really believe in all that crap and fortune cookies but after a while you start to realize that they just tell you what you want to hear by your body language.” It took her a little too long to realize all that, although sometimes whatever the zodiac said for the day was fitting to hers. 

“Right? That’s exactly what they do.” She nodded. “Once my best friend Samantha invited a palm reader to her house and I was there too, the woman reached for my palm and tried to read it.” Recalling the memory, Liz imitated the way she reacted back in time and made a funny face. “I was trying to keep her away from me but she took my palm anyway and started reading. She claimed that I was the most popular girl in my school and that’s when I stopped listening.”

“Do you have any drink recommendations? I want to branch out and try new things…I know some places have special drinks.” Julian asked the person beside him while he looked at the drink menu. He wanted to drink and relax for the night because he didn’t have to work tomorrow. “I guess it doesn’t really matter what drink you get as long as it’s strong enough,” he teased. 

“You are asking the wrong person.” Shrugging her shoulders, the red head let out a sigh. “I only drink wine. Mostly white wine. Sometimes few girly cocktails and that’s about it.” Liz pointed out, resting her hand against her cheek. “I second your statement. Then again every drink is strong for me, so I really wouldn’t know. I get drunk very easily.”

It’s easy to feel hopeful on a beautiful day like today, but there will be dark days ahead of us too. There will be days where you feel all alone, and that’s when hope is needed most. No matter how buried it gets, or how lost you feel, you must promise me that you will hold on to hope. Keep it alive. We have to be greater than what we suffer. My wish for you is to become hope; people need that. And even if we fail, what better way is there to live? As we look around here today, at all of the people who helped make us who we are, I know it feels like we’re saying goodbye, but we will carry a piece of each other into everything that we do next, to remind us of who we are, and of who we’re meant to be.

“Oh, California would be nice this time of year. Really hot, but nice.” She grinned. “I’ve always wanted to travel to Paris and France. Europe specifically. But I’ve got to wait six months, or get approval to fly abroad…”

“It’s not Nevada hot but sure, it still is.” She shrugged, mirroring the other woman’s grin for a second. “I have been in Paris. Very overrated if you ask me.” Her brows raised d as the other woman continued, she pressed her lips together before speaking again, “Why do you need an approval?”

“I know you have a weird sense of humor,” he said, “It’s almost borderline offensive sometimes, Liz.” He took another drink of his coffee before he picked up a DVD case, holding it out to Liz. “How about this for a movie? Thankskilling. It’s out of season, but it’s a pretty odd movie. Maybe it’ll fit your weird sense of humor,” he said with a smirk before he put the DVD down and kept walking down the aisle. “It’s cool that this rental place is still open,” he said, “Didn’t think this was such a viable industry to go into anymore considering Netflix is killing everything.”

“Only offensive to you.” This wasn’t true at all, her jokes offended many people in the past, though she could tell Sam wasn’t being serious. Liz shrugged her shoulders before looking at the DVD he was holding. Knitting her brows together, she snorted mockingly. “Well, the title sounds very lame but if there’s a murder in it, I am sure it will fit my sense of humor.” Liz pointed out as they kept walking down the aisle. “Right? I am glad it’s still open, they have the every horror movie you could ask for.” She agreed with a nod. “Don’t get me started on Netflix. Sure it’s practical but you can’t find every movie in there. Besides rental places like this has bunch of hipster customers. I mean, yeah it’s not a lot but it’s still something.”

“I hadn’t thought of a perfume, I think i might go with that too.” Luke’s grandma was very into that sorta thing but it was usually his grandpa who went after those type of gifts. He nodded in agreement with Elizabeth and her comment towards the card. “I’d be shocked if these sold as much as any other sweet card.”

“It’s the most practical gift ever. Not the most sentimental one of course but still practical.” Shrugging her shoulders, she smiled at him. Liz has never been creative enough to come up with better gift ideas, so she usually went with basic and practical ones. “I bet most Millennials buy these.”

dr-athenamontgomery:

“I am in need of a long vacation, or just a vacation. Somewhere warm, where I can just relax and enjoy myself… preferably with someone. Yeah, that’d be nice. Any suggestions? Or any takers?”

“Don’t we all?” Liz stated with a chuckle, shrugging her shoulders. “California would be a great option, especially Palm Springs. Then there’s France and Italy. Although I don’t think France is warm yet.”

…I was not wild, not volcanic, I was rigid and self-protective; the form of my self-protectiveness took was exclusion: that which I feared, I ignored…
