“i feel like before medea was born. when it was just us.”

“billie... but we’re not alone anymore. we have a daughter.”

“i guess i never dealt with that properly... it was just too sudden. medea was too sudden.”

“but it’s different now. she’s grown a lot since then.”

“and i feel like i missed all of that.”

[anisimelle]

“i wish we could just start over.”

“we can try.”

“for medea.”

“yes, billie. for medea.”

“this is lovely, jonathan. thank you.”

“for what?”

“well, you drove medea to fred’s, she loves gita. you booked the table. you’re all smiles and hope. you are trying way, way more than i am. than i ever could, in every way.”

“it’s natural. you’re my wife.”

“i think i want it to stay that way.”

[anisimelle]

“you two will never grow up, will you?”

“no.”

“no, don’t expect that.”

[anisimelle]

“care for a date tonight, honey?”

“with you? always.”
