Re: Queens: Evie/Wren/Luke
[Evie listened, interested, but worried. She didn't think she could be told no just then. About anything. Not getting a job she didn't know what that would do to her, even on a good day. She was already starting to get nervous about how to handle the packing up of stuff and being asked how she got there, as if it was the same as being asked to leave. The same as being asked how long she planned on staying.
She knew it wasn't the same. She knew it. But Daisy was done eating, and she stood up and went over to the sink and started to wash her face off just the same. She hadn't replied about the work, she just listened and nodded and processed. Names and Projects and everything else. It all sounded wonderful and right up her alley, but there was the part of her that was afraid she didn't have an alley anymore except the one she and Daisy were going to end up living in. Which wasn't the good way to think. Or even the realistic way to think.
She didn't want Luke to take her back to the motel, she didn't want anyone to see it. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't home and she didn't like that it suddenly had that word attached to it.] It's okay, I can get back. I promise. It isn't hard.
