Trevor nodded back at her, “So it isn’t something the schools are like forcing onto the kids and such then?” He asked out of curiosity as he wasn’t sure how it all worked really as he didn’t have kids of his own. “That is fair. I guess people go through life with different experiences and to some it makes more sense than to others.” He shrugged.

“I mean, I don’t think they are allowed to force it on people. I guess I am going to have to look into it honestly. I never went to an American public school, so I don’t really know too much about them.” Harmony replied with a small shrug. But if they were going to push religion on her daughter than Ellie would be going to a private school somewhere that wouldn’t. “I guess that is true.”

“That is fair! I had mine close by. One in the next village over and the other a couple of hours away.” He said with a shrug. “Yeah I am the same. I take it this one is going to bible school anytime soon then?” He asked as nudged Ellie’s side.

“That sounds nice.” Harmony replied knowing that family was very important. Something she hated about Ashton was how far it was from all of her family. “Not unless I wake up to some divine message from God or something.” She added with a chuckle. “But obviously when she’s older she can make her own choices about that stuff.”

“Yeah, I am the same. I just didn’t grow up around it so I don’t have much of a relationship to it myself other than when my grandparents thought me or said.” He shrugged.

“I didn’t even have that. One set of my grandparents still lives in China so I don’t see them very often, and the other set just couldn’t really care less about that sort of stuff.” Harmony replied with a small shrug. “Which is fine I guess. I’ve never known any different.”

Trevor nodded, “Yeah I guess the South really does live up to its standards when it comes to church and stuff.” He nodded in agreement with her. “I only went as a kid with my grandparents personally, so I guess I am just not used to it.”

“Religion wasn’t really practiced in my house when I was a kid, so I’ve never really been into that sort of stuff myself either.” Harmony replied with a small shrug. “I am happy some people find comfort in that stuff but it’s not for me.”

“Anything is going to feel small compared to New York.” He chuckled, still thinking that to be true as he even doubted that a place like LA would even compare. He chuckled back at her, “I guess you are right even though I tend to do other things than pray on a Sunday.”

“I guess that is fair.” Harmony replied knowing that most places were smaller than New York, and that she didn’t have any immediate plans to go anywhere bigger any time soon. “Oh same, but it seems that every church in the area is packed on Sunday.”

“True. I feel for the parents as well. To lose a child is a painful thing.” It was an offhanded comment, something that slipped out without him even thinking about it, but it said everything it needed to. “Well, that is good. You’re far better off directing your anger towards someone else. I’m not worth the effort.” He nodded again. “Who isn’t these days? It’s a small town, but it’s far from the sleepy Southern hovels you read about in novels.” 

Harmony’s heart sank at his comment because she got the feeling he was talking from person experience. What had seemed like a weird situation to her had know turned into a sad one.  “I guess that is fair. I think a lot of people like to keep themselves busy though. It’s almost easier to deal with things that way.” She added with a shrug.

“I mean to be fair I assure Canada is a lot more up to speed on that kind of stuff compared to a small town in Ashton. Everything here is closed on a Sunday as well which is strange, or open for a limited time.”

“Fair enough. I lived in the biggest city on the East Coast too, which probably helps. It just seems small now compared to New York.” Harmony replied knowing that her perspective had changed when she moved there. “That’s because we are in the Bible Belt, Trevor. Sunday is for praying.”

[theharmonyandrews]

itstrevorhastings​:

“Yeah New York was easy. Everything was open pretty much all of the time and you had easy access to everything you needed.” He shrugged, missing that part about the city.

“Even back home for me had more to offer than this and I lived in what most people considered only a medium sized city.” Harmony replied with a small shrug. “Ashton is just tiny.”

[theharmonyandrews]

itstrevorhastings​:

“That much is for sure. I even remember when I lived in England it was easier to get a hold of things on the country side where I lived compared to here.” He chuckled again. “That is true.. He is a good boy for the most party luckily.”

“It’s definitely been a huge adjustment for me compared to New York.” Harmony replied, knowing that sometimes she missed how easily you could find things in the city. “That is good at least.” 

[theharmonyandrews]

itstrevorhastings​:

 “That is true, and the stock as well doesn’t always add up with what I need and like if I need it the next day it makes more sense to make and order instead of having to wait a week.” He said wit ha shrug. “Yeah I hope a dog is okay for now though.”

“Yeah, that is one of the downsides to a small town. Sometimes there is only one place in the entire town that carries the thing that you need.” Harmony replied shaking her head. “I mean by the looks of things Ace should be enough to keep her entertained.”

[theharmonyandrews]

itstrevorhastings​:

 “Yeah, I mean I should be better at supporting local businesses whenever I can, but they don’t always have all the stuff I need and Amazon is just easy.” He nodded back at her. “Yeah I guess that is fair.” He nodded, “Who knows, maybe Mia would like a cat at some point as well.”

“Yeah I try my best to do that too, but honestly sometimes there just isn’t enough hours in the day.” Harmony replied knowing that a lot of the time she was running around all day trying to do things. “Yeah maybe, some people really like cats.”

[theharmonyandrews]

itstrevorhastings​:

 “Yeah they literally deliver everything, anywhere and the next day in most cases. Even here!” He said with a nod, knowing he shopped off of there probably more than he should. “Fair enough. Did you get her as a kitten?”

“I wouldn’t survive without it honestly. There are so many times where I am just too busy to go out and actually get something, so I love being able to ship it right to my door.” Harmony replied, shaking her head at his question. “No, we got her from the SPCA and she was already a couple of years old.” 

[theharmonyandrews]

itstrevorhastings​:

 “Yeah I am sure they do. If not amazon or something will have something for sure.” He nodded back at her. “I would think a cat would have been a bit easier, but then again I am more of a dog person and I am pretty sure a cat would scratch my sofa up.”

“Amazon is a god sent honestly. They have everything you could ever imagine.” Harmony replied knowing she was a frequent Amazon shopper herself. “I don’t know, Fluffy is an angel honestly. She mostly just sleeps all day so she doesn’t cause any trouble.”

He nodded. “I-I know. I agree. I’m just saying that sometimes…sometimes these things end up making you a stronger person, a better person. Tragedy will always strike eventually, but it can build character. That’s all I meant.” Vincent couldn’t quite explain it. Almost always he was silver-tongued and confident, but around the woman, the doctor felt about two inches tall. “Of course, I understand. Just thought I’d offer.” He paused, fiddling more incessantly with his keychain. “I um. Know we got off on the wrong foot last time. I apologize for that. Just know that….I have nothing against you. Honest. We just have…very different ways of coping with things, evidently. Ever since-” Vince shook his head. “But life moves on, regardless of whether or not we move with it. How is your husband, by the way?” 

“I just think people in this town have been through an awful lot, especially based on the fact that there is a whole generation of kids that are going to look back on the last year traumatized. My husband spends every day trying to help, but I think it’s going to be a long time before any of them move on.” Harmony replied, knowing she’d gotten the impression from him last time that he didn’t take things as seriously as he should. “That is pretty evident, yes. I didn’t take it personally.” She agreed with a small nod. Harmony was always going to be the type of person who defended those she felt couldn’t defend themselves.  “He’s good. Wicked busy these days, but mostly good.”

“Yeah? I might look into that then. The lady at the pet store might have some, but I guess she needs the business and I am in there almost every week.” He laughed back at her.” Nah, I am sure he’ll be fine.”

“I am sure that they would have something at the pet store.” Harmony replied with a small nod. She could totally see Trevor going to the pet store once a week to pick stuff up. “Most dogs are.”

“Everything she does is the cutest, she’s the best” he smiled brightly. “I’m glad she’s doing well and making friends, that’s awesome for her” he nodded. “I think when I was her age I pretty much only knew my brother, I didn’t get to meet many of the other kids my age”

“This is true, she is the best.” Harmony replied with a small chuckle glad that Brendon seemed to agree that Eliana was the cutest kid there was. “I’m happy about it too. I think it will help her a lot later on.” She replied with a small nod. “I think that is the case for a lot of toddlers. But since it’s not likely that I am going to pop out another baby anytime soon, we need to make do somehow.”

 “Yeah I guess you are right..” He nodded back at her, “I would sure hope so. Imagine if he starts eating my furniture.. I can’t spend hundreds of dollars on a new couch every week” he laughed.

“I mean there are sprays and stuff you can get to discourage your animals from wrecking your furniture. “ Harmony suggested with a small shrug. “But like I said it probably won’t be a problem for that much longer. “
