❛ norman, i thought we talked about this. ❜ a hand on her hip, her eyes scolding him silently. despite it all, there is a softness in her voice : one that cannot be stern with him, not even in this moment. it’s the flaw of a mother, sometimes. ❛ you’re out & about running around and you know i need all the help i can get. we need all the help we can get. emma’s gone for the holidays--she just got that, that thing too -- ❜ discontented, she sighs. the mere added anxieties have her poring over everything else she needs to accomplish. ❛ PLEASE, NORMAN ? i’ll be gone for a hot minute. just stay here. ❜ // @nobates
