Re: Call: Holly NW/Noah NW
[In no world, man, is it selfish to want to comfort someone. Noah needs to remember to say that. And, he would now, if he remembered. But, they're talking about Noah's dad and Noah's trying to think of the dude he keeps stuffed in a mental closet somewhere.] Not really. I mean, I went to one of his weddings. Um. When I was in high school? No. Middle school? Yeah, middle school. I guess I was invited. But, I think it was my step-mom, at the time, being like, dude. Hello. Which was nice of her, but, yeah, no. I know the girl now, remember? He's married to the sister of someone I knew, but, it's not like we talk or anything. It's okay. I'm not that messed up about it. [And it's not like the dude is dead, which he doesn't say, but which he does think. But, because it's important to him to say:] I know you wouldn't. You're my best protector, babe. I love that. It means a lot to me. [Earnestly, too:] You know I'd never let anyone do that to you either. [And not only because he'd fucking feel it.]
