Re: Audrey/Hannah: Tea
Hannah shook her head when the memories were mentioned, and she still believed it wouldn't help to share them around like stories in books. It was a strange view for her, a woman who loved stories in books, but then she smiled when Audrey giggled. The sound was bright and bauble and token of a good moment captured in soundburst. "You can lock the door! It's about being comfortable in Audrey's skin. It's only about dancing in front of open windows if you want it to be," she said easily, and she was a little bit eased by how readily Audrey agreed not to become lost, but only a little, because she wasn't very sure that innocent girls would know when they were lost even a little, and that troubled her.
She set her tea aside, over on a crowded little table, and siblings and siblings, and the topic danced and swirled around her head. It wasn't a good day for siblings. Si hadn't even wanted to talk, and she always got it wrong with Jamie, and Mars was Mars, and even David hadn't responded. It wasn't a good day for siblings, but that wasn't Audrey's fault. "It's never too late to try," she said about Audrey's siblings. "I have troubles with my family every day. Every, every, every day, but love is what matters, I think, even if the rest doesn't fit right. I hope love makes things okay eventually, for both of us," she said, honest and plain and candor in hopeful buckets.
