I grew up in a tiny apartment on the southeast side of Chicago. The roof leaked when it rained, and the drafts came in around the windows in the winter. There were roaches, and mice, and nothing out the window but the smokestacks over the lake, belching smog into the air.

But somehow it was less lonely than this giant, creepy house.

	Alright, wiseass. He keeps ditching you at the house. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I can't go anywhere, and you can't expect him to stay. He's in Arlington. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What's wrong with Arlington? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What's not wrong with Arlington, in the middle of Summer? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've never been there. Actually, this is my first time out of Chicago. [Harry] It's good for Thomas to go there. There aren't very many, uh, available women here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If I were a changeling of Summer's Fae I'd hang out in Arlington and El Paso all my life. Okay maybe not El Paso. But you get the point. [Justine] I know that. Get a cat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That it's hot and miserable? Yeah. Chicago can be that way too. [Harry] I don't think Thomas is much of a cat person. I wish...I wish this hadn't happened, Harry, so that he could stay around, and not have to deal with this. So that he could feed from me all the time, like he used to.

	He almost killed you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry \| Justine ourloveburnsus 2013-07-06 04:18 am UTC (link)
	But he didn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know. If it could be different for you two.. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When my Gran died, I felt the same way. Everything echoed. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yeah, all the time. I hear her laugh, or smell pecan pie... drives me even more crazy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sookiescookies 2013-07-06 07:42 am UTC (link)
	Sometimes. And then sometimes it reminds me how she's not there as well. I don't like being alone most of the time (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It must be nice to have a... boyfriend, I assume? Mine just left me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
