Re: Fashion District: Clementine & Holly
[The baby was real well behaved. She'd always been on the quiet side, even with nannies and Clem's daddy fussing all over always. But this little girl went on and said she thought folks looking out for them ownselves was smart, and Clem felt real sure she was looking at one of those nice and giving folks.] Honey, your face is too nice for looking out for yourself. You got one of those faces that says you care about folks.
[Clem said that like it was a real bad thing.]
I'm not Graham's anything, honey. [She said it simple, though her expression turned all Murphy as she looked at this little blonde thing with new interest. She thought about rooftops and little girls, and she almost laughed at life being real entertaining without even meaning to be. She wondered if that real quick grab of purple was discomfort, and she laughed some.] Honey, don't you got to fuss. Not a thing's going on with me and Graham. [As for the baby?] I was gone a spell is all.
[She didn't ask how Graham was. Didn't ask after Shane. She didn't do a thing but stand and scoop the baby right up, coat and all.] The purple's better on you, sugar. More fitting.
