jeannie

its short and sweet, but full of emotion. a simple display of affection informed by far from simple feelings.

girls! excuse me girls?! a voice beckons.

its jeannie, your mothers friend from book club. she comes over for dinner every wednesday so she knows about all there is to know about your family.

hey girls, would it be okay if you didnt sit right here? its just that theres so many children and well, i just wouldnt want them to be confused, ya know?

confused?

your face gets flush.
a fire lights behind your eyes.

take action.
tell her you understand and let it go.
