Who: Starbuck and Kim When: Tuesday night Where: their apartment What: soothing the pregnant beast?
Starbuck signed off AIM and turned off his laptop. He closed it gently and set it on the coffee table. Well, he'd convinced Wes to come over for dinner. But as difficult as that was, Starbuck had a feeling it would be even harder getting Kim to calm down. She was PISSED. He'd heard her ranting during the beginning of his online conversation with Wes, then she went out for a run with the dogs to blow off some steam. It seemed clear Wes wasn't going to apologize, because he didn't think he was in the wrong. Starbuck thought he was, but he was trying to find a resolution here, not stir up more drama. That meant he had to get Kim to just forget about what a dick Wes had been and play the happy hostess on Friday night. Tricky.
He waited patiently for Kim's return. When she walked through the doors, letting the dogs off their leashes, he got up from the couch. "I talked to Wes. He's coming Friday night, and we're ordering Chinese."
