Re: Mean-Eyed Cat: Cat/Em
[Cat looked at the other woman, and she tried to find a similar experience, but she shook her head.] No. Maybe I'm too blind, or maybe I don't look hard enough. I thought Bruce and I fit. I thought Robert and I fit. I still don't know what went wrong, and maybe that means I? Shouldn't be giving any advice. [She took a sip from her chaser.] For what it's worth? I always thought you and Eddie were a perfect match.
[She waved her hand again, dismissive when Emily said that thing about doing the job you were put into.] First lesson of humanity? None of us just do the job we were put into. We chomp at the bit, and we want to make our own decisions. Anyway, your job? Was a terrible one. Most of us? Wouldn't be able to do it.
[As for the self-esteem ding? Well, Cat would have to accept that olive branch.] Get your job, and meet people. That's enough for me. I don't ask much. [She grinned.]
