Day 424 | Private Voice to Reid
Closer to 9 or 10 PM

[With the exception of Jack, Martha hadn't talked to many people about this. Things had been weird between her and Gaeta in the end. They had talked about becoming closer and then never had. It seemed to happen a lot when she tried to get closer to people here. It was enough to give her pause before calling Reid. She considered a moment before scrolling to his name and dialing.]

Remember when you said maybe I should talk more instead of holding things in? I'm holding things in and I suspect you're holding things in. And maybe we should... hold things in or try to let them out together.

	[Martha raises an eyebrow. There's plenty to unpack there. Do they focus on why he fell for Kitty in the first place? Do they focus on why he saw her as different? Martha deliberates for a moment.] Do you remember what is was about her that made you fall for her? Way back when? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ There's a pause here, because he actually has to take a moment to think about it, dig through all the endless fighting and misunderstandings and downright betrayals of her cheating-without-cheating or spilling his status as a drug addict to the dome at large behind his back. There's a lot of resentment at this point, which makes it even harder to handle the people calling him today.

At least Martha seems to get it. ]

...She saw me. Not a lot of people did. I don't know why, but she wanted to spend time with me, get to know me. Before that, I uh. I hadn't had a girlfriend? Not even close.

	[Martha shifted when he said 'she saw me.' It had been that way with Tom. He saw her when others didn't.] That would do it. At least that's what did me in too at one point. How long did that last? The good? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Yeah, he noticed that. It's kind of nice, knowing he's not the only one who gets hooked on something so simple. ]

Until I disappeared. Coming back... a lot happened back home. I was gone for a year and a half. [ Emily coming back, JJ getting married, Maeve. A lot. ] I don't think either of us handled it as well as we could've, but... I started to notice things. I'd ask for time and space and she'd agree and then not follow through. I started to realise that a lot of things, ever since the beginning... it had been on her terms.

	I'm sorry Reid. That must have been a difficult realization to come to terms with. I can understand why you're feeling more or less apathetic about her departure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He nods, gives her a crooked smile. ] Maybe in a couple of weeks it'll mellow out. Right now I don't really want to think about it. [ And since this is so not just about him in the least. ] What, uhm... what are you holding in? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Martha knows the end of a conversation when she hears one, and so she nods and takes a sip of coffee. When he asks her about her own issues, she sighs.]

I'm not even sure. Felix Gaeta seems to be gone, and as I was trying to explain to Jack earlier, we had such a weird relationship? friendship? we had such a weird something that I feel like it's not supposed to hurt as much as it does?
