Nora nodded knowingly as Josh described how his sister was the center of attention in his family. "I've got middle-child syndrome," she explained, rolling her eyes a little bit at herself. "My brother Abe's the successful, older one. My sister Grace is the baby, and everyone pays her a lot of attention. I always kind of felt the need to make some noise. Wanted to run away from home and be an adult at sixteen, actually." Nora realized she was speaking of her family members like they were still alive, out there somewhere. She didn't know. Maybe they were. Extremely unlikely, but it was possible. Or maybe she'd been better off staying in Austin. She wasn't sure that was the case at all, though; was it worth it, without any family at all? Was it worth it, trying to hold herself together alone for so long? Nora didn't want to answer that. Snapping out of her brief reverie, she sighed, "We never got quinceaneras. Thank God. Feel like that would've been a mess in my family."
Nora immediately started waggling her eyebrows around at him. "Who says I'm not trying to seduce you?" She wasn't really sure where that'd come from, but it was so automatic and it felt good to joke around like that with someone. It'd been so long. "I haven't been here long enough to know, I don't think, but I could imagine that. There's not much privacy in my tent," she admitted, because there really wasn't. It was kind of exposed and right next to someone else's living space and really not ideal at all. But her last living situation had been even worse, so she'd take it.
