[ ‍‍‍  ‍‍‍ sadecki⁎ @consumeres]

i know, i know. ... it’s okay.

[ ‍‍‍  ‍‍‍ sadecki⁎ @consumeres]

fine, callie. you’re here. ( 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩. like a fawn, like a cub. like something that needs protecting. but hasn’t she always? ) can you at least ... stay by my side? can you not run off?

[ ‍‍‍  ‍‍‍ sadecki⁎ @consumeres]

⠀ ... i don’t want you to mean it.

[ ‍‍‍  ‍‍‍ sadecki⁎ @consumeres]

something could happen here, too. it’s more likely for something to happen here.

[ ‍‍‍  ‍‍‍ sadecki⁎ @consumeres]

⠀ ... do you mean that?

[ ‍‍‍  ‍‍‍ sadecki⁎ @consumeres]

( eyes catch the movement. inhales sharply. ) callie. i, just── he shouldn’t have brought you.

[ ‍‍‍  ‍‍‍ sadecki⁎ @consumeres]

do you? do you want to stay here?

[ ‍‍‍  ‍‍‍ sadecki⁎ @consumeres]

you─── ... you were?

[ ‍‍‍  ‍‍‍ sadecki⁎ @consumeres]

you 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 being away from home. 𝙞 don’t even like it here.

[ ‍‍‍  ‍‍‍ sadecki⁎ @consumeres]
