Yeah it is.  Oh I’d love to grab coffee sometime.  I’ll have my mom watch Charlotte.  I’d really love catching up with you, Scott.  It will be fun.

You don’t have to leave her behind, I’m not great with kids, but I’m sure nothing would crash and burn. Coffee’s good? Good. Okay. I’ll let you know when I’m done grading, I mean, it’s getting close to the end of the year. Actually I wasn’t expecting you to say yeah, but um, how about tomorrow? Around one? That’s my free period, unless you’re busy. Then some other time.

lucistark:

Yeah, that makes sense.  Everything is complicated.  I’m probably not thinking clearly anyway since it’s an emotional thing.

Well that’s why you’re here right? To clear you head some. Maybe, when you’re up for it, we can go for coffee or something. To catch up, I mean, and if you want. A lot’s changed apparently.

Hey, I love saying YOLO and on fleek, mostly cause it annoys my friends, but they just roll off the tongue. You may be on to something there. It may take a while to catch on, but I’ll work on it, start saying it around the dinner table or to strangers in the check out line. Of course! My brain doesn’t shut up that easily, so I may as well put it to good use. I wish you would’ve been my science teacher in school, man, you’re so normal compared to everyone else.

I would try it out in the teacher’s lounge but I’, sure it wouldn’t fly over as smoothly. You had my father, I bet. He was a bit of a science nut, but hey, everyone has a passion of sorts, right? Whether that be blowing things up or starting new vocabulary trends.

Can you blame a girl?

Never, no, never.

She’s with my parents.  They’re lovin’ having their grandbaby in town.  You’re right though it does help to have all my siblings.  Granted I don’t know if I’d trust most of my brothers with her given their tendency to roughhouse.  I know it is.  That’s why I came home.  I couldn’t be around him, not while I figure out what I should do.  Divorce seems logical but I also don’t want to jump the gun.  You’re just as sweet as I remember.  Thank you.

That’s great, I’m sure they are. -chuckles- Well, of course. All of those things seem to be taken as complicated issues that don’t have solid answers, it makes perfect sense when taking into consideration all outside factors.

They’re like little works of art. They’re all hand made, so you can see all of the work and time that’s been put into each piece. It’s unbelievably intricate. I can pull some out if you’d like. We’ll both need to put on some very stylish gloves, though. 

...Sounds like a full blown experience, let’s do that then.

I… yeah? I suppose it does. M’sorry that I… don’t remember you. I see lots of faces, was away for a bit and stuff.

Scott valentine, my father was probably your science teacher at the high school. Where were you off to?

“That’s true. I dunno, I probably shouldn’t admit it but listening to people complain is a little bit draining.”

“Oh no, I think it’s terrible. But then when someone complains about complaining, that person is just as guilty, I suppose.”

lucistark:

Yeah, she’s a tiny one.  I’m pretty sure my concealer deserves an award for getting rid of those.  Granted, she does sleep through the night so that helps a lot.  The first couple months were a caffeine fueled nightmare I’m in no hurry to relive.  Well that’s a great job.  Did you enjoy it out there?  You must if you want to go back.  Ah….he is a politician.  State Representative Edward Stark…and he was having an affair.  Should have seen it coming.  You’re right about politicians and their track records with marriage…

Where is she now, babysitter? I’m sure it’s nice having so many siblings for that kind of thing. See, now I look at you like a superhero because while I can keep a lab rat alive, children seem complicated. They’re little humanoids. I did, I was two months off from a certain position I had been looking forward to, but life happens and you know how it goes. No matter the variable playing into his decision, that’s his loss. You’re his loss, Charlotte’s his loss. It’s not hard to have commitment.

Well, I’d be lying if I said she wasn’t part of the decision, but old lace is actually pretty cool. The details are amazing. 

Are they, how so?

I started dieting today. Already caved into a medium order of fries. Boy, oh boy. This is gonna be a struggle.

Can’t say that’s at all surprising.

I thought I had it all figured out, but I didn’t.  Her name is Charlotte and she’s in town.  She’s thirteen months old.  My husband isn’t…he’s actually why I’m back in town.  We need some space from each other.  Eddie’s not an easy man to be around.  Where’re you planning on going, Scott?

That happens, puts things into perspective. She’s so little, like a pea. You look great, I’m pretty sure my own mother had bags under her eyes for the first few years of raising me. Back to California, I was working for Intuitive Surgical. I’m sorry to hear about your husband. Marriage issues are rather high for politicians, if he is a politician, that is.
