Re: Penny's place: Clem & Penny & Frannie & bacon & gelato & toe splints
[Penny never realized she was starved for attention until she was real starved for it, and by then she didn't quite know how to ask for it, so she was glad enough when Clem could read between lines and show up for her pity party.
She didn't bite her arm off when the phone was moved, mostly because she was distracted by gelato.] I used that technique when I was training Frannie to 'drop it.' [She said with chuckle and mouthful of cold sugary sweet.
She was interested in what Clem and Cris had to say to each other, or why, or when, but amused when she clarified the platonic nature of their relationship, She could only imagine how well that part of the conversation had gone. She didn't know if she was surprised, annoyed, or interested in the further entanglements of Sam's family. Now they were hitting closer and closer to home.] Of course it's messy, ain't nothing simple anymore.
