OMG this new campaign for Valentino!

willfrye:

Don’t mention that. Just put on a jacket.

You won’t get it back for a little bit.

I still have a few of your shirts I need to swap out.

[willfrye-blog]

It was more of a - your ridiculousness has far surpassed its normal levels.

[jillian--dawson]

Thank you.

[willfrye-blog]

Mm.

[jillian--dawson]

So is that a yes?

[willfrye-blog]

Tell me.

[jillian--dawson]

Do you think Harvard can handle both of us?

[willfrye-blog]

…They’re twins. Believe me, they’ve watched every age appropriate movie of theirs.

Okay.

[jillian--dawson]

Will?

You’re not going to get me to make your life easier in this subject. I’m a firm believer of picking your own demons, and the fear of striking out shouldn’t let you from playing the game. Yes, thank you for introducing the twins to Hilary Duff, too. Open it.

[jillian--dawson]

Hilary is a goddess. Wait until I introduce them to the Olsen twins.

Okay, fine. I’ll open it.

[willfrye-blog]

Dawson.

What are you so afraid of?

[jillian--dawson]

I don’t want to get my hopes up that it says anything other than that I’m still not good enough. I don’t want to be disappointed.

[willfrye-blog]

I was going to say I’m not French, but I’m sure you would consider that the proper timing to make a joke.

Or, you could open it while I watch that you don’t get any paper cuts from doing it.

[jillian--dawson]

You are wise to me.

Or you could open it and make sure there are no paper cuts for me to have.

[willfrye-blog]

You’re only missing the big blue eyes, really.

You got that in the mail today. I think you know better than to try and make x-ray vision work. Dawson, were you looking for moral support or someone to open it for you? Because that constitutes a felony in this country.

[jillian--dawson]

Sorry. I got distracted trying to figure out if you’re more of a Jess or a Michel.

Both?

[willfrye-blog]

They’ve got their work cut out for them.

Are you talking about a sabbatical or going somewhere closer to what you consider home to be? Even Rory’s plans changed, once she took a good look at them.

[jillian--dawson]

No. Well, maybe? I don’t know. That’s the thing. I was pretty sure I was sure about everything until I got this in the mail today. I’ve been staring at it like it was going to read itself.

Also, nice Gilmore Girls reference. Endearingly appropriate. Thank you.

[willfrye-blog]

I happen to live with two people I need to remind that in a day-to-day basis.

I’ve been ready to be on my own since my 12th birthday. There’s not so much in me that change could affect. Why are you concerned?

[jillian--dawson]

The children are our future, you know. 

It’s just...I’ve lived in the same town all but two weeks of my life. I’ve been in the same class with mostly the same people since preschool. I was getting used to the idea of college in Cali - the warm weather and the sunshine - but now I don’t know. Does that make sense?

[willfrye-blog]

We can’t all be having princess tea parties every day.

What kind of thoughts were those?

[jillian--dawson]

You always say that but we totally could. I think it’d be a nice life.

Just...distance and change. It’s going to be so different. Does it worry you?

[willfrye-blog]

Sure. I was only sorting clothes. Is something wrong?

[jillian--dawson]

Sounds super fun. I’m almost sorry I interrupted.

Nothing’s wrong. I was just thinking about school.

[jillian--dawson]

Hey, is it okay that I come in? Your stepmom let me up.

[willfrye-blog]

I don’t think I’ve got the taste for it. Or the need to go around decorating anything. Unless you’re just speaking for the experience, in which case one might be more tempted.

I’ve never been big on celebrating it, honestly. Not since I’ve been old enough to decide for myself. The day becomes worse when you’ve got greater expectations for it. You’re only setting yourself up for disappointment.

[jillian--dawson]

Mostly for the experience. Sometimes he will give me a packet and a guideline of what the client likes so I know what to get. Other times it’s just...you  really never know what is there.

That’s true about a lot of things. Just, that day is supposed to be to celebrate you and that’s nice, I think. If it goes that way, anyway.
