After a meeting at the city hall, Hazel texted Ezra for a little snack. It felt weird to call Ezra a cousin, because their similar age meant they bonded far more than that. At first it was strange for Hazel, after only knowing a twin bond with her brother to then becoming an older sister in a way. She liked to think they all pulled through together, and were not worse than they were when the changes in their lives all happened. “I think after this I’m going to get under a blanket and pretend I’m cocooning for a while. The freakin’ meeting sucked, Ez. Sometimes it feels like we’re talking to a wall when it comes to climate change.” she sighed, plucking some of the vegan pastry for a bite. She tried to not let no news mean bad news, but it wasn’t good news either. “Just because people don’t see it right in their faces, they think it’s not there even though ice caps melting is no big deal. Tell that to the polar bears.”
when it came to the st. james-ackerman crew, ezra felt like she didn’t really fit. she was the one that sat in the corner with her laptop, making up silly little stories about fictional people falling in love. but if there’s one person in her family that doesn’t make her feel like a total outsider, it’s hazel. they’re the close in age and close in personality, and on her worst days ezra knows she can seek her cousin out, and that the feeling is mutual. her schedule is less packed than hazel’s, she sure, so when she received that text asking about a snack, it was a no-brainer that she dropped everything to meet her. always the good listener, she sat quietly with her eyebrows in a scowl, head cocking to the side as if she were some sort of therapist taking it all in. “you’re making me glad that i don’t have to attend meetings very often,” she muttered, fingers picking idly at the pastry on her plate. “but i’ll tell you something right now: if i could adopt a polar bear, i would.”
