(Don't worry about the title, for it's a lyric, guys.)
(Also the whole house is sick to death of my endless KJ Wallen playlist and I DON'T CARE.)
The cardinal rule?
(Don't turn off my KJ Wallen playli-)
I mean, it's not even carved in stone but the real rule is if Lochlan is around and actually wants to spend time with me (heh. Do we get along? Depends) no one infringes on that. No one. Not saying it's rare because it isn't but Lochlan likes projects and he likes to be useful and when he stops moving for ten minutes or an hour and comes looking for me and you actively try to get in the way of that? Expect a problem.
Caleb? Sometimes a big problem. What did they last before coming to blows?
Four days.
Only this time due to my sheer brilliance there was no way to send them off to their respective corners to cool off and so the moment they were no longer blocked from getting to each other they went back at it.
Put that fist fight to the soundtrack of Summer Sunday and I pretty much have the opening credits of the movie of my life. Even though I didn't get to see it because while PJ and Duncan went back in to save them from each other, Dalton had to physically carry me out because I wanted to break them up too.
So I didn't get to write yesterday. Mainly because my laptop was in the way when they went into each other and it went crashing off the countertop and then it just wouldn't light up but Lochlan said he could fix it. I pointed out what happens if I stop lighting up and he just looked at me and then kept taking screws out of the back of it and placing them methodically onto the table in a little pile.
We'll get you a new one, Caleb reassures me from the other side of the kitchen where he sits with an ice pack against his eye. He's bigger and stronger but Lord, is Lochlan ever fast and also committed. In the time most people take to think about whether on not they really want to get into it Lochlan already has you on your back and you find yourself losing.
I can fix it. Lochlan growls at him.
JESUS SORRY I TRIED TO MOVE IN ON YOUR PLANS. If I want to buy her a replacement for her ten-year-old laptop I will and you don't get to weigh in.
Lochlan stops talking altogether, but so does Caleb so I'm going to call it a win.
Also Lochlan did fix the laptop, though it's got a dent now. It's okay. So do we.
It was never my intention to get youLast evening Caleb broke the cardinal rule and I don't know if he did on purpose (he says he didn't) but then again he was smiling when he said it, albeit a mea culpa kind of unabashed embarrassed smile, so I can't tell you if he was lying or not. Eventually he will tell us. Or maybe he just won't.
Wrapped up in a hot sun beach haze
When you made me crazy
We were not afraid
Just star-crossed runaways
No looking back now
