where you go， i go. what you see， i see. i know i'd never be me without the security of your loving arms keeping me from harm.

"well then , i'll have to spoil her too ."

a little wink to her cousin .
then , a frown . bending to her height .
brushing back a strand of hair
from the younger girls face .

"hey . . i'm sure that's not true .
tell me what's going on , talk to me ."

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝓐𝒎𝒊𝒚𝒂𝒉 .ᐟ @intricatewonder]

no. she doesn't want me no more, ollie.

[🫒 𝑶𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 @TWINSENSES]

yeah , we can ! the more the merrier .
and hey , aunt michaela does not hate you and she'd care very much if she didn't know where you were . she's a mom , it's in her blood . mom's just get . . upset sometimes . doesn't mean they love you any less . your aunt grace was the same

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝓐𝒎𝒊𝒚𝒂𝒉 .ᐟ @intricatewonder]

[🫒 𝑶𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 @TWINSENSES]

him for five and a half
years , so -"

a shrug , playing off the
panicked breath like it
was normal . quick to
volley the subject back
at the other girl , too quick .
she's terrified of life alone .
of being without her twin .
without her beloved father .

"what about you ?"

[🫒 𝑶𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 @TWINSENSES]

"he's the best ."

twirling the necklace around
her neck , a custom one she'd
gotten in the aftermath of Jamaica .
a paper boat .

a heavy gasp comes as involuntary
as her breathing , the collective pain
and anxiety she's shouldered
threatens to overtake .

"i didn't have [+]

[𝒞𝒶𝓁𝓁𝒾𝑒 ᴀᴅᴀᴍꜱ-ꜰᴏꜱᴛᴇʀ @foreverfostered]

" thats lucky . "

she murmers,

" not about your mom obviously, but that you got your dad . i mean , if he's a good guy . "

she shuffles uncomfortably, rubbing at her wrist where her new tattoo currently exists , she's told too much of her story to this stranger already .

[🫒 𝑶𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 @TWINSENSES]

😌 i like you , already .

[𝒞𝒶𝓁𝓁𝒾𝑒 ᴀᴅᴀᴍꜱ-ꜰᴏꜱᴛᴇʀ @foreverfostered]

oh i will !

[🫒 𝑶𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 @TWINSENSES]

olive manages to intercept
it before it quite makes it
out fully , though her lips
linger on the words a beat
more , as if they did not receive
the memo from her brain the
way that her vocab chords had .

[🫒 𝑶𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 @TWINSENSES]

appreciative eyes over
the other , considering
her kindly and fondly .

face goes pale , eyes widen
a slight touch , the only show
of her alarm in the question .

"oh - uh . no . . my mom's
gone but , i got my dad ."

the words 'for now' almost
slip from her tongue but [+]

[𝒞𝒶𝓁𝓁𝒾𝑒 ᴀᴅᴀᴍꜱ-ꜰᴏꜱᴛᴇʀ @foreverfostered]

" same . "

she also isn't sure how to navigate this .
she's not used to people not knowing her history . all her friends are either other foster kids , ex-juvies, or her siblings .

" are you a foster kid ? i could take your picture . help you find a family . "

[🫒 𝑶𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 @TWINSENSES]

pfft , you may QUOTE me .

[𝒞𝒶𝓁𝓁𝒾𝑒 ᴀᴅᴀᴍꜱ-ꜰᴏꜱᴛᴇʀ @foreverfostered]

thank you !

can you tell that to my moms?

[🫒 𝑶𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 @TWINSENSES]

olive gives the others hand
a firm shake , friendly in nature .
she's rather glad to meet someone
of similar age .

"nice to meet you ."

she's a little awkward - with her
family ? friends aren't something
she's got a lot of .

[𝒞𝒶𝓁𝓁𝒾𝑒 ᴀᴅᴀᴍꜱ-ꜰᴏꜱᴛᴇʀ @foreverfostered]

" callie . "

she smiles too, accepting the greeting .

[🫒 𝑶𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 @TWINSENSES]

"I certainly won't argue with you there ."

offering her hand with a smile .

"names Olive , by the way ."

[𝒞𝒶𝓁𝓁𝒾𝑒 ᴀᴅᴀᴍꜱ-ꜰᴏꜱᴛᴇʀ @foreverfostered]

the best
