This wasn't the kind of shit you dealt with looking like a Halloween reject. "That's a good thing, right? It clearly means you're her favorite." So maybe it wasn't the best time to joke but Alicia never handled talking about serious issues well. Give her something physical to do and she was fine but not talk.
"She's a smart girl. Smarter than I'll ever be. It's shit but...She knows what she's doing." Alicia's thoughts turned to Fred and she had a funny feeling George was thinking even more about him then usual. She brought her hand up to the spot by his missing ear. "If he hurts her I'll kill him. I'll wont even charge for it."
