Tabitha.

You're so focused on learning new information. Maybe you should put some of that focus into doing actual background checks instead of taking everything at face value.

...

( Entirely unclear whether the slight shift in her expression is judgment or just her thinking. Probably Both. )

You and Adeline would get along great. Her name isn't Mike, by the way. That was a lie.

I'm not a hundred percent sure you won't.

"Private research" about my cousin? She's not a celebrity or anything. That just sounds like stalking to me.

( Reading what she wrote down. Tearing the page out and handing the notepad back. )

Don't write about my cousin.

(Immediately grabbing the notepad or whatever from her) Hey.

Stop it

I forgive her though.

Well. That second part actually, yes. Her mom ditched our family years ago.

I don't know but it's got self-esteem issues. Just like you.

Well you couldn't have heard. I never told anyone.

Hi Mike. Say hi to the weird thing

(Straight-up just lying) That's my cousin's name

Okay. Heard that one before. It's nothing new.

Damn, I can't believe you're only in your 20s and already running a coal mine. Talk about #GirlBoss.

No, Tabitha, this isn't what it's like to be high.
"Oh, so you *know* what it's like to be high, then. Noted."

I hope you don't expect me to give you a high-five or something because I'm not doing that.

Tabitha turning towards the player with an icy glare.

Typically how people deal with unions, yeah.

Princess.
19.
She/her.

Personally if it were me I wouldn't have let that happen

// only logs into this account when unions are mentioned. hell yeah

Yeah, rookie mistake.

// and then i disappear from this account for another three months

Yeah don't get me started on those.

You haven't worn even a single glove the entire time I've known you.

Don't patronize me. I know you have nothing to your name, Adeline.

she looks in the mirror & the same sunken eyes her mother wore stare back at her.
