Look at you, Nancy Drew. I know, inconspicuous isn’t generally my style. Oh, thank you! You’re too kind, really. I can do that, for as long as you’d like. Make sure to hit me up, though, if anything changes.
That’s excellent, I’m glad things are going swimmingly. You don’t, no, but we are stuck here together, so I figure that’s gotta count for something. Oh, look at that. Another connection. We’re going to be great friends, I can just tell. Thank you for that, truly. Wanna talk a little more about that?
Something tells me I’m not living that nickname down for a little bit, but maybe that’s just more of the intuition I apparently have. I .. uh, yeah, I’ll be sure to do that.
Swimmingly, I don’t think I’ve ever actually heard anyone use that conversationally before. And I think that too, we’re all here, we might as well not try to make things harder for ourselves by causing unnecessary drama. You think so? I like that, not many people have said that to me before, not genuinely at least.
Um yeah. Well ... I made a pretty poor choice when I was 17, a decade ago now, and I chose someone else over my family, thinking it was going to benefit them and myself. In reality, it only benefited him and I was ... well not tricked, I went willingly, in a claim with someone who said he loved me, but I came to realize much later was that I was nothing but ... a plaything, and not in a good sense. He got me reliant on drugs and I was pretty much ... trapped, you know? But I was blind to it for a really long time, the whole being young and in love thing.
Too much? Probably too much.
