I am deglazing the pan for a nice light gravy for the roast and Caleb is buttering bread for garlic bread. Dinner for two. He wanted some sort of reassurance after a few long days took me to the other end of my wits and I wasn't forthcoming enough so here I am, being wined and dined and encouraged to help cook in order to prove that everything is fine.
It's fine. I'm fine. I'm okay. Whatever. I finish up and he nods his approval.
Have you decided?
Bridget, we've talked about this-
I need a change of scenery.
I've offered and you refuse.
Because you pick weird trips.
And the Gathering of the whatever they were isn't weird?
No?
We're not on the same page.
We're not even in the same library, Cale.
What would make my trips less...weird to you.
If they didn't involve all inclusive everything where you just lie around and people wait on you. I hate that. If I go somewhere I want to explore.
That just gets you into trouble.
Right.
So...no.
No?
Yes, that's what I said.
Wait. Yes or no?
No, Neamhchiontach.
Sure you want to be the bad guy here?
I will if I must but I have a feeling I won't be the only one.
See, I think you will be.
Try them, Bridget, and let me know how it goes.
