❛ —- … i see you lookin’ at your phone.
m’WATCHIN’ you. osmotic pressure is
important to understand. it’s— … it is.
one day, you’ll thank me. ‘peter, you’re
the best.’ i can hear it now. ❜
❛ y’just gotta RELATE it to something. ❜
( alright, one last time,
then B R E A K.
for the love their sanity. )
❛ alright. ALRIGHT. let’s say you’re a cell.
yeah! you. you’re a cell, & i’m about ready
to throw you into a hypertonic solution.
you curl up, ‘n fight back. you’re putting all
this effort in like a hyper little kid, fighting me
off … & y’drain yourself out. you’re shriveled
up. like a raisin. a cute raisin, m’not tryin’ to
dis you —- cute raisin.
hypertonic, shriveled cell.
hypotonic, fat cell.
❛ i was just checking the time ! ❜
& she’s all too defensive to be telling the truth ; texting
when she was supposed to be listening, no doubt. but
the smile that flickered across her features was designed
to persuade him in the direction of forgiving and, most
importantly — forgetting.
❛ me ? i’m a cell ? okay … ❜
eyes widen; brows lifting to imply she’s paying attention,
while her head tilts forward; as if it’d actually help her
focus on the words leaving peter’s lips. & that’s where
she trains her gaze — his mouth. it’s not until he’s done
that azure hues crawl their way back to pools of
chocolate, that were looking back at her rather
expectantly … and it made her nervous. wait — what
did he just say ?
❛ no ——— i mean , yes ! yes. the HYPERtonic cell
has a lot of energy; so she jumps around, and it keeps
her skinny … or, er. shriveled. and HYPO sounds like
hippo, and hippos are fat.
serena’s hand is sliding across the table, and her fingers
take it upon themselves to flip the cover of his book, so
that it shuts soundly; and there it is again — that GRIN. &
it’s begging for an audience of one.
❛ your hour’s up, and my brain’s all fuzzy. why don’t
you let me take you to lunch ?? i know a great place
——— well, the FOOD’S okay, but the bartender
doesn’t check i.d.’s, so it’s my go to.
