@bloodyhxlo 'yeah. i know.'

silence. she exhales a breath she's held for a long, long time. 'i love you too.

remember that, okay? whatever happens, i'll always love you.'

[Lea @crossedthevoid]

@bloodyhxlo 'i was dreaming of you,' she giggles. 'if it's busy, i'll, uh, let you go! i just-- yeah, sorry. didn't mean to call! hope you get a chance to enjoy the nice weather.'

[Lea @crossedthevoid]

@bloodyhxlo 'a little tired. you shouldn't have let me sleep in! i'll tell the bees you said hello. where are you? it sounds loud!'

[Lea @crossedthevoid]

@bloodyhxlo Well... Yes, but now they have to be good.

[Lea @crossedthevoid]

@bloodyhxlo Well... [She said, looking down, kicking the dirt all humble]

...Yeah, it is. [Breaking out in a smile and meeting her girlfriend's eyes as she ran toward her]

Woah, woah! Cuidado... ay!

[Lea @crossedthevoid]

@bloodyhxlo Well... I had a meeting with a publishing company, in, um, Spain. And... Well, they want me to sign a two book deal with them!

[Lea @crossedthevoid]

@bloodyhxlo Well, remember that meeting I had a few weeks back? And it was so important I asked you to spend the day outside somewhere? I think you went Christmas shopping, because you came back with a lace of snow in your hair, and... Well, anyway, remember that meeting?

[Lea @crossedthevoid]

@bloodyhxlo ||: saving it for when i finish for xmas... hyped!!!

[Lea @crossedthevoid]

@bloodyhxlo You know it's meant for fertility?

[Lea @crossedthevoid]

@bloodyhxlo Mmm. You know what this place needs? Mistletoe.

[Lea @crossedthevoid]

@bloodyhxlo But what are they like?

[Lea @crossedthevoid]

@bloodyhxlo We should have had a housewarming party. I don't ever meet your friends, Allie. Where are they all?

[Lea @crossedthevoid]

A dog? What for?

[* 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐒 @alwaysbckind_]

Yeah? That’s — that’s nice. You’re keeping yourself busy, then?

[Pausing to listen with a little frown.]

Oh, no — I’m sure! It looks really lovely. The garden is ( huge. ) you should get a dog!

[Lea @crossedthevoid]

@bloodyhxlo Hm. Okay.

Okay.

... I was... Looking at the cyclamen, um, our cyclamen. And they were... so beautiful. The way the first bloom, like... almost fingers reaching out. But then when they bloom...

It's like fire. All like fire. Isn't that scary? A little hand, burning.

[Lea @crossedthevoid]

I do what I always do: I write.

I... look after our garden. Do what I can, you know?

[Like reciting poetry — No, like reciting a public statement.] We're... thankful for the money that your mother put into the bungalow.

[* 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐒 @alwaysbckind_]

Good! That’s good. That sounds like her.

And yourself? How are you holding up, all things considered?

[Lea @crossedthevoid]

@bloodyhxlo If you think it's wrong, I won't do it.

[Lea @crossedthevoid]

Um... good, yeah. She's good. She's... doing her own things, you know? Very loving, very kind. Today she's doing the Christmas shopping before the crowds, I think.

[* 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐒 @alwaysbckind_]

Yeah, fine!

I just thought I’d come and se you both, cause, y’know, it’s been a while.

How is she?
