“I know,” she answers with a tired sigh. “I know, I know,” she’s not sure if she’s answering Buster or comforting herself anymore. It’s hard. She’s adjusted well. Everyone’s more or less …pleasant enough. It’s just hard to forget the kind old lady who spoiled her with so much love. “She’s in a better place now.” But is she? She’s in good hands, she knows she is. Her little old lady wouldn’t dare leave her neglected and unloved. “Thank you for putting up with me, Buster. I know … I can be quite a handful.”
❝ lady, OF COURSE i’m going to be with you. ‘s not PUTTING UP with you if i LOVE y’. ❞ buster knows how HARD it can be to adjust to life with will. not that he’s a BAD DAD, but living on the streets and being shoved into family life. but it was NICE, having people you could rely on. ❝ you’re not a handful. you’re amazing. ❞
