His hair is wind-tousled from being outside, his belt buckle is skewed all the way to his belt loop on the right and his shirt is wrinkled. His grin is all teeth, however and I can't help but grin back at him. He is contagious.
I just want to say it's nice. Being wanted, not feel like the unwelcome Jesus-slinging reprobate all the damn time, instead everyone is fighting over who gets to cuddle me. It's like winning the lottery and I see now where some of them get their swagger.
Like who?
Lochlan.
I burst out laughing. Right.
Maybe Schuy.
Fair enough. I'm sorry about church.
If I had looked at that dress, Bridget, I would have turned to stone.
Oh I know. That's why I wore it.
I'll still be here. I'll even be available a little here and there. We're just getting reacquainted. And I didn't want to force Matt on the house before I knew if it would work this time.
And?
So far so good but as you can see we're trying to take it slowly.
I nod.
Do you want me to stay tonight?
What about Matt?
He understands if I leave for a crisis.
Is that what you're calling me these days?
Bridget-
Things were going really well and then you vanished and I didn't know how to handle it.
Why didn't you come to me?
You were busy with Matt. I make air-quotes around Matt's name and roll my eyes to be a brat. Sam ignores it.
Maybe I went about this the wrong way and I should have moved all the chairs and brought him right in and put him in your laps.
I mean, maybe? I don't know. I understand that you have to take it slowly.
Logically you do but in your heart you're shouting. I can hear it from here.
I'd rather be fixing you than me.
About the Devil-
It's fine. He's fine. We're fine. It was just a moment.
He keeps slipping up. If he can't control his emotions then what?
Then I dodge hellfire all damn day. At least he's hot.
Is that an excuse to put up with things you shouldn't?
You tell me. I stick my tongue out and Sam laughs again, nodding, even though I'm pathetic as fuck.
Yeah. Well. I hear they cancelled hockey.
They've cancelled everything.
So what excuse will Joel have to come over now?
Oh, my own minister called me a crisis, so that's enough right there, for a bit.
I do love you, Bridge. And I miss you like crazy. But I do love him. And I think we got it figured out at last.
I'm happy for you, Sam.
I'm happy for me too.
