You’re really good at not letting people love you.

But just because you’re strong and resilient doesn’t mean you never need someone to be there for you, to take care of you.

I am sorry. I lost something there. Like a path I was walking that dead-ended, and now I am alone and lost in the forest, and I am here and I do not know where here is any more.

—but the rain is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh upon the glass and listen for reply, and in my heart there stirs a quiet pain—

Kindness is often mistaken for softness and let me tell you, friends….that is a mistake you don’t want to make. 

Kind people are not born that way, they do not stumble into it, kind people are forged in fire and darkness and imploding stars…they have steel cores. Throw a punch and you’re going to break your hand.

“Hm, maybe. If you are though, you better hide well cause I’ll be looking out for you.” he replied, joking as well.  “Great! I’ve hit jackpot then. I’m expecting Disneyland passes from you then. Well we won’t know unless we’ve experienced it so how about let’s get going? Need anything else?”

“If I hide, you won’t find me. I learned from some of the best,” she continued to play along, biting back a grin. “You have no idea. Stick with me and you won’t have to pay for a lot of things. Perks of being friends with the law,” she said as she started walking. “Food, but we can get that at the bar. I hear a plate of cheese fries practically begging me to eat them.”

“Sometimes I am.  But usually I’m not, so enjoy it while you can.  So you have your answer!  I’m glad I could help.  Uh, okay, something else.  Well…I’m officially a college graduate now.  That’s something else, right?”

“That makes one of us. I’ll cherish this moment forever. I guess I do have my answer... Remind me to properly thank you for that some day. You are? Congratulations! Now, that is something worth celebrating, even if you do have more schooling to finish because becoming a lawyer can’t be as simple as four years and done.”

“Yeah, true. He’s a spitfire, that one. What I get for dating a 22 year old,” he teased with a laugh. He grabbed a muffle and took a bite. “Oh god, so good,” he groaned in delight.

“Spitfire. Suits him. I don’t need to know all the gritty details, though. At least he’ll keep your on your toes, old man,” she laughed. “They’re amazing, I know. Might have something to do with growing up with a chef who also liked to bake.”

“Not that I’m saying accept the promotion, since my job is to make you forget that word exist, which, I’ll get right on that. However, If you were to get one, your amazing, awesome, really cool friend would get an update on that totally non established yet implicit get out of jail free pass, right?” He chuckled. “Listen, tiny thing, there are plenty of legal dumb shit we can do. Maybe go to the movies to watch something bad and shit on it loudly just to make fun of the people watching it. Crash into the first wedding we see pretending we are a couple and say things about how horrible marriage is. Laugh at the kids trying to convince people to buy them beers near the drugstore. I mean, I am a bad person, I know what I am doing, alright, trust me.”

“If that was your attempt at subtlety, you suck at it. Saying the forbidden word is not going to make it easier for me to forget it exists, just a for your information. That depends on whether my amazing, awesome, really cool friend follows through on this whole distracting me from the p word thing, which right now, he is failing,” she teased. “Also, I could use a coffee. I’m not saying that would guarantee a get out of jail free card, but... well, that is what I’m saying.” She laughed. “Listen, big man, don’t call me tiny thing. Do you see my arms? These are not the arms of a tiny thing. I say we crash a wedding first. It’ll be kind of like that movie Wedding Crashers, but more awesome because I’m actually living it and not just watching it. Then, we can see an awful movie. Is Get Out still playing? I heard it was stupid, we should see it. If you were a bad person, you wouldn’t be admitting that you’re a bad person, but I’ll trust you anyway.”

“Of course not. I can’t force you to do something that you don’t want to.” Seth said, chuckling as well. “If you say so but I have to say, I’ll definitely be expecting something like free passes to Disneyland. My treats don’t come with cheap prices, although for you I think I can make an exception, depending on how good the company is.”

“My head is a lot harder than it looks, so you hit the nail on the head with that one,” she half-joked, though it was true that she was stubborn. “What, you don’t believe me? Do I look like a liar to you?” She raised a brow, as if daring him to say yes; of course, she was teasing. “Gee, you dream big, huh? I like it. I’m a cop and I look like a puppy, so free passes to Disneyland will be a piece of cake to get my hands on. I promise I’m worthy of the exception. I think I make fantastic company, but that’s just me. I’ll let you be your own judge.”

“Well look at it this way, Theia.  If you say no, are you going to regret it?  If the answer is yes, then you have to do it.  And if the answer is maybe, then at the very least give it some serious though, which it sounds like you’re doing.”

“Listen to you, the voice of reason. I don’t even have to consider it, actually... I would absolutely regret it and undoubtedly spend the remainder of my career kicking myself over it. Enough about that, though. Let’s talk about something else. Literally anything else.”

“Okay, I’ll give you one better, than any drinks and or drugs. We do enough dumb shit that you’ll forget promotion is even a word. And I’ll even make sure that 90% of the things we do are legal. How’s that sound?”

“You had me at dumb shit, though I’m honestly struggling to think of anything considered dumb that’s legal and won’t get me injured. Only 90%? What about the other ten? Not to be the one who shits on a party, but it would pretty idiotic of me to get arrested just after I was offered a promotion to detective. I’m like a cat, however, too curious for my own damn good, so... I’m down.”
