When: 2nd December
Warnings: Estranged parent talk
Completion Status: Complete
Frankie: I've been thinking
Dad: Dangerous
Frankie: :p
Frankie: No, but really. When are you working over Christmas?
Dad: About like normal, I'm off 24th - 29th and then on 3rd Jan.
Dad: You know I don't think
Frankie: Just wondering if we can work out a time to meet up and maybe exchange gifts
Frankie: I assume mum isn't likely to come around by then so I'm not showing up at the house
Dad: I'm sorry. I don't think she will either
Dad: I'm still trying
Dad: Do you want to go to a pub with me instead?
Frankie: I know you're trying
Frankie: Thank you for offering, but I'm not going to make you do that. I'll be okay and you know what mum is like, she won't be happy and will hold it against me not you. I'd rather keep working on her slowly. So maybe we can be a family again one day.
Dad: I'm going to miss you being at home. But we can definitely meet up. Second Christmas Dinner at a pub?
Dad: Oh shit, no. Do they stop doing it after Christmas Day?
Frankie: No idea, probably
Dad: What are you going to do for Christmas Day? I don't want you to be alone no matter how much you like your own company
Frankie: I don't know yet. It's part of why I wanted to sort this out early. We're out of the office 21st-4th so I've got time to play around with coming to you for food. Or at least in that direction
Dad: Let me know. I'd rather face your mum's wrath than leave you alone
Frankie: Thanks Dad
