Lyle: This one isn't a lie for once.

Lyle: Well, I'm planning on becoming a respectable man. Maybe I'll settle down. All that.

Lindsey: i feel for the person who gets saddled with you

Lindsey: but fine. you've got one shot

Lindsey: let's do lunch tomorrow

all marnie could do was blink at lindsey’s short but sudden rant — it was a little unexpected, but it was strangely refreshing to hear her complain about hayden. she was so used to hearing hayden’s side of it all, that this was a nice change in pace. “ no, you’re right — she just speaks so damn much, i have to recite an entire monologue in order to quote her. ” she chuckled, taking a long drink from her glass. “ disney references ? you never struck me as the mouse ears & polka dots type. why have i never written an article about you ? you’re fascinating — like a mermaid. ”

“Beats being an onion,” Lindsey commented. A slight blush tinged her cheeks. She’d been obsessed with the Disney movies she’d been a child -- having seen and owned every single one of them. It was something, even though she was nearly thirty, that she had yet to outgrow. There were just so many lessons one could learn from fairy tales. At least, that was what she told herself whenever someone acted as if they were just for children. “I prefer to keep my private life as private as possible. I can’t have everyone thinking that I’m anything less than a frigid bitch.”

Charlie laughs shaking her head, “I’m proud of you for sticking to it though I’m pretty sure your bony elbow left a bruise when were practicing self defense. You got me right in a rib. Which good job, but damn” 

“take a breather and stay hydrated, then we’ll do the run back to the car”

"Good,” she replied, sticking her tongue out like a child. It had been a lucky shot but she took some sort of perverse pleasure in knowing she’d got in a shot that had left a bruise.

Lindsey was getting used to having a person constantly following her. As bodyguards went, Charlie wasn’t so intolerable. That didn’t mean that she couldn’t complain about all the work she was making her do, though. “Ugh,” she groaned. “Can’t you just run back and drive the car down here? I’m sure it’ll be faster.

Lyle: He was a lovely man, and I learned a great deal from him actually. He wasn't a monk though. He was a friar at an abbey in France.

Lyle: I can't fault you for that.

Lindsey: I can never tell when you’re telling the truth and when you’re lying through your teeth. Not that it matters one way or the other

Lindsey: so tell me about this extravagent plan of yours to win my affections

[lindseygallaghers]

Lyle: There's no more disappearing.

Lyle: I get it. I'm lazy and a jackass and a flake, but I'm trying.

Lyle: I might be a son of a bitch, but the goal is at least to stop being a son of a bitch to my own sister.

Lindsey: did you meet a Tibetan monk or something on your travels?

Lindsey: I’ll believe it when I see it, dearest

Lindsey: it’d be dumb to trust a gallagher and I’ve never been an idiot

Lyle: I really am busy, Linds. I'm trying here.

Lyle: That street is a two way one, sweetheart.

Lyle: I want to do better by you. I'm being genuine.

Lindsey: you don’t get to do better by me

Lindsey: you don’t get to be my friend, lyle, bc you disappear at will and I’m left bearing the brunt of Nathaniel Gallagher’s madness

a sigh of relief rushed from marnie’s lungs at lindsey’s words, often forgetting that the animosity between her & hayden was mutual. “ thank you ! according to hayden that means i’m making it all about me or something. which is absolutely ridiculous & completely impossible — everything is always about her. ” eyes rolled, head shaking slightly in frustration. she didn’t mean to off load all of this onto lindsey, but she was probably the easiest person for it. “ i mean, i always knew it & i know i can be just as bad & we can both be a little mean sometimes — but never to each other. apparently my love life & well, yours too i suppose, is her favourite place to source her insults from. ”

“I’m sure most people would think that you’re both a little more than a little mean,” Lindsey remarked. Not that she was one to judge. “And I couldn’t care less about Hayden’s assessment of my love life.” She rolled her eyes, rested her glass on the coffee table and settled her hands in her lap. “Do you have any thoughts that aren’t Hayden’s? I meant that exactly how it sounded. Like an insult. Every word you’ve said so far has been Hayden’s and frankly, it’s boring. If I wanted to talk to her, I would do that. Not that I would ever want to. It’s insulting to my intelligence to act as if she really pulls off the villain masquerading as a hero role. I’ve seen the Disney movies and Prince Hans was the most boring of all the villains. I’d much rather be the Evil Queen. It’s honest. No one expects you to smile and be kind to everyone and you’re never disappointed because you understand that people are inherently bound to be incompetent.”

“I’m good just give me a second. I need a breather.” She bends catching her breath. Reaching for the bottle of water she’d brought along she took a drink. “What is it about the cold that makes running all that much tougher”

[lindseygallaghers]

“I don’t know,” Lindsey huffed. She hated running. Actually, she hated any kind of physical exercise. “I’m only doing thing because you told me too. Preparation for the day I inevitably get kidnapped.”

Lyle: I am a busy man, Lindsey, darling. It's hardly meant to be an affront to you.

Lyle: I guess that means I should pencil in 'tense text message conversation with my sister' in on my schedule then?

Lindsey: how could I forget? Daddy’s golden boy’s got so much going for him.

Lindsey: if you could find it in your schedule to make time for me, I would be oh so appreciative but I would never want to inconvenience you, dearest.

Lyle: Such a welcome, sister.

Lyle: I just wanted to check in on you.

Lindsey: You wouldn’t need a welcome if you stopped disappearing without a word.

Lindsey: I’m fine, thanks for checking in. Let’s do this again next year.

Lindsey: I’ve been hearing whispers that the devil’s been asking for me

Lindsey: since Dad hasn’t spoken to me in weeks, I figure that means you

Lindsey: what do you want?

a small laugh bubbled from marnie’s lips, nodding in agreement. “ that is true — plus she’d probably take me to court for getting a single flake of pastry in her hair or something. not worth the hassle. ” it felt strange to be talking about her best friend in such a manner. after all they were sisters, related or not. but for now, marnie needed to be mad & unreasonable & say horrible things behind hayden’s back until she felt a little better. “ god, where do i begin ? every day my life is getting more & more like some awfully written soap opera from the eighties. ” marnie sighed, eyes rolling a little dramatically. “ i mean, long story short — hayden kissed my brother & then he took her on some cutesy, disney channel date & i’m mad about it. we got in this huge fight & now here i am. ”

Lindsey listened patiently while Marnie spoke careful not to interrupt. She knew that regardless of Marnie’s current feelings, Hayden was her friend and they’d be giggling together again before long. Still, it was nice to have someone else who understood just how annoying Hayden could be, if only for a short time. “I don’t see anything wrong with being upset, if that’s what you’re looking for me to say. I’d be upset if she went on a date with my brother and I can’t stand him.” Honestly, she wasn’t surprised that Hayden would do something like that -- she’d always been exceptionally selfish. Then again, it could just be here extreme prejudice speaking; there was no one who could get under her skin quite like Hayden James could. “I’ve been saying how selfish and spoiled she is forever now, but everyone’s insisted on thinking of her as some kind of Disney princess.”

“Fair point.” He chuckled and went up to the counter to order, returning to her table with her coffee and raspberry danish. Including one of both for himself. “Not that I’m vying for a kiss, or that I’m not, but thanks for giving me an excuse to grab a snack, without seeming like an ass for not giving you one as well. I’ve been meaning to try the raspberry danish”

In the time that it took Antonio to place their order and return, Lindsey settled herself into the booth. “We’ll keep the kisses for some other time,” she answered as she accepted the coffee and danish. “You won’t be disappointed. The danishes here are amazing, but anyway. What’s your story, Tony?” 

[wnq-writers]

I’m too much and not enough, in that order.

“i’m a music journalist,” he says as he shoves his hands down the pockets of his jeans. “i’m obsessed with cats, i’m extremely distracted all the goddamn time, i like this place a bit too much for my own good.” he adds as they get in line. “there’s not much to know. what about you?”

“I’m unemployed,” Lindsey answered, mimicking his response by identifying herself by her job or lack of first. “Actually, I crunch numbers for my parents. There’s nothing interesting about it. I like the color purple and the smell of rain.” When they neared the front of the line, Lindsey placed her order before turning to regard Jamie again. “And I drink so much coffee, it may as well be flowing through my veins.”
