Thread: Making Amends WHO: Wendy Golightly and Blake Hartley WHERE: Hartley residence WHEN: Evening of May 17th [backdated]
Watching Modern Family had paid off. The house was spotless and Wendy had prepared a scrumptious meal, or rather: he had made an attempt. There was a chicken pot pie in the oven, because Wendy did not see the point of vegetables and carbs if there was no meat with it. He had set the table for three and had even included two candle-sticks. Wendy was going the extra mile.
In sitcoms, when children screwed up, this was how they made it up to their parents. Even though Blake was not Wendy's parent, the dynamics were similar and thus, Wendy was emulating those. If he wanted to go to the dance, he had to show Blake that he had learned from his mistakes. This was him, trying to make amends.
Wendy sat at the kitchen table, distractedly reading a book and waiting for Blake to come home.
