❛ --- i’ve been there. ❜ the words are spoken without any hesitation, and cathy can’t help the way her eyes widen as she breathes out a long sigh. ( honestly, she still is there. sure, therapy is helping, and there’s something to be said about the progress she’s made in the last few months alone. still, there’s quiet moments that get to her, sneak into her mind and torture her for a handful of minutes. it’s hard, but she has to keep telling herself that it’s worth it. )
so, she turns to mark, smile a little soft, but face etched with sincerity. ( she’s never learned how to sugar coat things, even if she wanted to ). ❛ sometimes, though, you just have to give yourself a break. it’s literally impossible for everything to be your fault -- like, if someone misses the subway, someone you don’t even know, that can’t be on your shoulders. that person probably just needs better time management skills. ❜ she states her words with ease, and cathy knocks back a swig of beer as she turns.
❛ i know i don’t always make the best decisions, ❜ she pauses, leaning into self deprecation with a wince, ❛ but -- if you need someone to talk to, i can try my best to listen. i make a pretty good soundboard, and sometimes, all you need is another person to pat you on the shoulder and say, wow, that really sucks. ❜
