Re: Wren and Evie in the Dustbowl
[Evie had grown up with other people getting in trouble for her messes. Her bad behaviors, her big mouth, every mistake her sister had taken the punishments for. It was what had gotten her sister killed in the end. The backsliding into previous thinking hadn't ended for her, the hard work she'd done over her life slowly being undone with every hiccup and bump in the road over the last few years. She supposed if she tried she could pinpoint it to losing her father, but she didn't want to pinpoint it. Pinpointing meant she had to work on it all over again. She didn't want to. It was hard. So she was going to live in the moment, and she was in a happy moment. She'd had a few happy moments right on top of each other and if they could just pile up maybe she'd have a reserve.]
I think I'm going to have to figure it out, the cooking thing. But only with supervision. [She said laughing.] Of course she hates the microwaveable just add water kind. [Which was probably for the best, she didn't have a microwave. But it would have been easier.] Daycare is going really well, it was a mess at first, she was a mess. I was a mess because she was a mess. [She smiled pretty proud of the both of them. Daisy and her were pretty attached. And she knew that sometimes her behavior wasn't great, but she didn't always know what to do about it. Books didn't always have chapters on certain things.] We should get together for some dinosaur chicken nuggets soon. All of us.
[She wasn't sure about Craigslist, she was always hearing about people getting strangled, but she supposed if she went with Wren and Luke and they tried to strangle one of them, Luke would arrest them. And probably get a promotion.] I love thrift stores, there's one up the street I'm going to as soon as I get paid. [She smiled softly when Wren mentioned Mikey, that was another person she was grateful for. He'd been a huge help getting the apartment even this livable. And he'd rescued her at Costco. And it was nice to make new friends.] I think after all the work he did helping us get into this place he's off the hook for bed building. Besides I'm pretty sure there's going to be some more heavy lifting in the near future and he's like [she put her arms up flexed her muscles.] Super huge. But you and Luke should meet him anyway, he's also really nice. Maybe once I'm done getting the essentials I'll invite some people over.
