[PAST] Breaking Your Resolve — Like a Siren in the Deep

She’d deal with the shithead tomorrow, forgetting Ruth for now.

Yeah? It’s a good one. I think about it every time I’m down that way, she’d admit. Everything grew warm as he said this would be their first sleepover, meaning there would be more and she felt herself dancing inside, struggling to keep the grin threatening to split her face under control.

Tilting her head, Meg tried not to stiffen as he mentioned their friend the brief panic quickly evaporating as it wasn't related to his appearance at the window. Ruth’s always mad about something. He’s also a big boy, he can find his way back fine. Do you really wanna talk about Ruth? She mirrored his hands movements, playing with the untied locks while an idea played on her mind. Maybe another night, when he wasn’t drunk but… Can I… braid your hair tomorrow? You can say no.
