nothing is worse than her driving back home. rarely does she go the speed limit, but typically ten miles over.
❨ perhaps she shouldn’t have told her sister’s former cop boyfriend that she’s a speed demon. oh well. ❩
❨ pft. no. [ yes. ] ❩ i would advise against it. messing up with the matriarch of a family will leave you royally screwed.
i’ve never seen her as happy as she is with you. i don’t see why she wouldn’t. is it what you want, though?
oh. i can see why our mother is so taken with you. i think if you weren’t with celeste, she’d probably try to take you for herself.
she ❨ and serena ❩ raved about you all last night.
i beg your pardon?
❨ too late. he already has. luckily for them both, she’ll pretend she heard him wrong. just for that, though, he’s earned himself two nights with the baby and she will be stealing her sister away from him! ❩
... that's one way to put it.
( He will neither correct nor traumatize Evelyn with the truth. Celeste would surely fuss if he did that. Honestly, he'd rather have to replace a few shirts and smell like vomit and poop than to deal with his girlfriend's wrath. )
that’s so sweet. you’re giving her a back massage!
❨ he says that now. he’ll be condemning her to hell later on when she’s crying and puking all over his clothes. ❩
She’s fine. We were just… celebrating Christmas in a more intimate way.
( he will happily watch the screaming baby if that means getting an extra hour for celeste. )
