[*𝑛𝘢͟𝘵͟𝘢͟𝘭͟𝘪͟𝘦.ᐟ @fedsprodigy]

“they say kids are the best judge of character. maybe if mila likes her, she really is better,” natalie says, being hopeful at least. but even val was skeptical.

finishing off the last of her wine, she sets the glass down then settles back against sofia. “i missed this. we +

[* 𝓈ofia. @plasticslegacy]

“okay,” and sofia knows it’s a big deal, but she’s glad that natalie’s not making it into one. she couldn’t deal with that.

there’s a sigh, frown crossing her features, “honestly, i don’t really trust it. but mila loves her, so im trying not to be evil.”

[*𝑛𝘢͟𝘵͟𝘢͟𝘭͟𝘪͟𝘦.ᐟ @fedsprodigy]

“kay, i’ll come pick you up,” natalie decides, just excited that sofia’s willing to go somewhere outside of the gated community.

she hums, another sip taken from her wine glass. “it’s gotta be too good to be true, right? like, therapy isn’t magic.”

[* 𝓈ofia. @plasticslegacy]

“thank god, we can go thursday then, i don’t have clients and ben’s home to be with mila, he’s got a short week.” a piece of her cousins hair wraps around sofias finger and she twirls it.

“guilt for sure,” she admits, snorting softly. “but i just hope she doesn’t fuck it up.”

[*𝑛𝘢͟𝘵͟𝘢͟𝘭͟𝘪͟𝘦.ᐟ @fedsprodigy]

+ gifts.”

[*𝑛𝘢͟𝘵͟𝘢͟𝘭͟𝘪͟𝘦.ᐟ @fedsprodigy]

“i’m not. the boutiques closed because of a water leak so i have the whole week off,” nat says, topping off her glass and setting the bottle on the table.

head settles against sofia’s and she takes a sip. “she really must be trying to make up for lost time. or they’re guilt +

[* 𝓈ofia. @plasticslegacy]

“we can go, this week sometime if we both aren’t busy,” she decides, head resting against natalie’s shoulder as she settles into the couch. refilling her glass, she holds out the bottle of wine so nat can have the rest.

“yeah, i remember,” laugh is soft, “before she could do +

eyes glance at the tv and she shakes her head. “nah, matt won’t go watch it with me. he’s got a thing about anne hathaway.”

glancing over, she laughs softly. “my mom did the same thing when she got back with tyler a couple of years ago, remember? i got a whole new car when she +

[* 𝓈ofia. @plasticslegacy]

“maybe,” sofia mutters but she’s already reaching for the remote, turning on the devil wears prada. “i really want to go see the second one, you haven’t gone yet, right?”

head nods because honestly they’re lucky, “mom felt bad so she paid for a bunch of new furniture.”

[*𝑛𝘢͟𝘵͟𝘢͟𝘭͟𝘪͟𝘦.ᐟ @fedsprodigy]

+ “this one’s much better.”

[*𝑛𝘢͟𝘵͟𝘢͟𝘭͟𝘪͟𝘦.ᐟ @fedsprodigy]

natalie hums and finishes off her second slice of pizza. “i’m just saying. but maybe things really are different now.”

nodding, she stands up and grabs her wine glass—following sofia into the living room. “thank god. your old couch sucked,” she says, sinking into the new one. +

[* 𝓈ofia. @plasticslegacy]

“jeez,” sofia snorts, but she can’t exactly disagree. arizona does kind of suck, but sofias learned to keep her arms length. she wants to be close, but after everything? she can’t let herself.

“wanna go sit in the living room?” pizza box is picked up so that she can put it in +

[*𝑛𝘢͟𝘵͟𝘢͟𝘭͟𝘪͟𝘦.ᐟ @fedsprodigy]

“yeah, that’s insane. but it’s not like it’s the first time she’s cheated,” natalie points out, remembering her mom mentioning when she’d cheated on callie.

“me either. just glad someone’s life is more dramatic than mine.”

[* 𝓈ofia. @plasticslegacy]

“i just think it’s toxic. it’s what arizona does,” sofia points out. “the cheating thing when she was engaged doesn’t really give me hope.”

a shoulder lifts and she reaches for another slice of pizza. “don’t know, i’m not involving myself.”

[*𝑛𝘢͟𝘵͟𝘢͟𝘭͟𝘪͟𝘦.ᐟ @fedsprodigy]

“maybe it’ll be different this time, with both of them being in therapy,” natalie says, picking her pizza up and taking another bite.

one last bites taken before she reaches for a second slice. “sophie’s probably pissed.”

[* 𝓈ofia. @plasticslegacy]

“ben doesn’t know, so zip it,” sofia laughs softly, she knows he’ll be mad but honestly, she’s not very happy about it either. “they’re just going backwards. i kind of hope it doesn’t work out.”

that’s a little mean, but what can she say? it’s the truth. “it’s horrid.”

[*𝑛𝘢͟𝘵͟𝘢͟𝘭͟𝘪͟𝘦.ᐟ @fedsprodigy]

natalie almost chokes on her pizza, having to take a sip of her wine to wash it down. “you’re kidding? she told my mom she was buying a place.”

she takes another bite before setting her pizza down on her plate. “they’re text book definition u-haul lesbians.”

[* 𝓈ofia. @plasticslegacy]

“shit up,” sofia laughs, head shaking. “they just ask you for the code,” eyes roll and she takes another bite of pizza before moving around the island to sit down next to nat.

“i don’t know, today i think. but get this, she’s moving right in with audrey.” head shakes, “i don’t +

[*𝑛𝘢͟𝘵͟𝘢͟𝘭͟𝘪͟𝘦.ᐟ @fedsprodigy]

“don’t blame you,” natalie says, not even able to imagine what sofia had gone through. “the whole gated community thing is nice. i swear, they did a background check just to let me in.”

she’s joking of course, but she really is glad sofias safe. “when’s your mom supposed +

[* 𝓈ofia. @plasticslegacy]

“maybe,” sofia smiles softly, reaching for a piece of pizza. she takes a bite, sighing in relief, but at nat’s praise? she shakes her head, she can’t help it. there’s no point in lying.

“not me,” she mutters around a bite. “i still barely go out, im too fucking paranoid.”

[*𝑛𝘢͟𝘵͟𝘢͟𝘭͟𝘪͟𝘦.ᐟ @fedsprodigy]

picking up the glass, natalie takes a seat and hums. “she might surprise you. we brought hope last weekend and she did really good.”

she flips open the pizza box, a slice grabbed and she bites into it. “good for him, though. i’m glad you guys are getting out of the house.”

[* 𝓈ofia. @plasticslegacy]

“i think so,” sofia nods, taking a sip from her wine and opening the pizza box. pushing nat’s glass over with raised eyebrow, she lifts a shoulder, “the movies, apparently. i don’t think mila will sit still.”

[*𝑛𝘢͟𝘵͟𝘢͟𝘭͟𝘪͟𝘦.ᐟ @fedsprodigy]

“looks like a new build,” natalie comments, having gone to school for architecture for a while until a depressive episode ruined that. “it’s really nice.” she sets the pizza down, a seat taken at the island. “where’s ben and mila?”

[* 𝓈ofia. @plasticslegacy]

sofia had texted her the code to get into the community, but past that she left the door unlocked so she could get in. in the kitchen, she’s filling up wine glasses. “i know, my mom found it.”

[*𝑛𝘢͟𝘵͟𝘢͟𝘭͟𝘪͟𝘦.ᐟ @fedsprodigy]

nat doesn’t answer since she’s on her way, pizza picked up before she makes her way to the house. she hadn’t been there since they moved so when she walks in, her eyes widen. “holy shit. this place is huge.”

[* 𝓈ofia. @plasticslegacy]

okay, deal.

[*𝑛𝘢͟𝘵͟𝘢͟𝘭͟𝘪͟𝘦.ᐟ @fedsprodigy]

oh, good. cause i’ll be there in twenty.

[* 𝓈ofia. @plasticslegacy]

nevermind, he’s fine.

[*𝑛𝘢͟𝘵͟𝘢͟𝘭͟𝘪͟𝘦.ᐟ @fedsprodigy]

for what reason?

[* 𝓈ofia. @plasticslegacy]

hang on, benny might be having a moment.

[*𝑛𝘢͟𝘵͟𝘢͟𝘭͟𝘪͟𝘦.ᐟ @fedsprodigy]
