Re: Clem/Penny
Honey, now, I ain't going to lie and pretend I don't think there's something going on with you two more than friendship. Your relationship with him, it's real intense, and that don't read as platonic to me. I'll own to that, and I'll own to getting on him bout it, bout worrying more bout that disaster girl of his than you, and bout not treating you right. But I never said you told me a thing. I reckoned it was a secret between the two of you.
But he's a man grown. You stand up to him, and he'll respect you more for it than he will anything else. Man's something of a bully if you don't call him out on his damn shit. Now, I know he's stressed. So am I. We got us some girl with our names carved on her skin, and it's scary as can be, so I'm willing to go easy some on account, but you're as important as anyone else in his damn life.
