"It's like in the great stories... The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why."

"Wait. I can't have this conversation like this. I just can't."
Celine runs off into the bathroom, leaving Oliver to awkwardly twist his hands while Zoé mutely stares daggers at him from the couch. When Celine reappears, she wears a fresh coat of mascara, the better to express her feelings. She crosses her arms.
"So. You were breaking up with me? For Lars? AGAIN?"
Oliver nods. "For good this time. Sorry."
Her freshly applied mascara starts streaming down her cheeks.
"Oh dear," says Oliver, feeling villainous. "You're sad. I can tell."
"You always were so sensitive," she sobs. "You cad."

HAHAHAHHAHA! Oh I just love the idea of everyone waiting for her, just knowing what she's up to. And Zoe's expression of "you've doubled our mascara bill".

It has to be about her. There is something running in this family that makes the women - and Zoe - genetically capable of making themselves the centre of attention.
I like the absurdity of it: everyone knows it's fake but it still is dramatic. A tramody.

“Mike, you are the one that covered me in lip-gloss. There was non-consensual harassment of my nipples and I had glittery gloop all over me that took forever to get off. If you are willing to subject me to that you have to be prepared for a little pay-back. Now blink.”
Mike gives him the death-stare. “Touch my face with that torture device and I will kill you. Besides, your nipples taste nicer grape-flavoured.”
Lars changes tact, he pours more vodka over Mike’s chest and begins lapping it up. He moves down Mike’s body. He’ll be at his mercy soon.

GUH. And also LOL. I can't express the enormity of my love for your theme this epic Drabble Day, truly. hahahaha, and how I adore Lars combining his beloved vodka with Mike. YUM.
