[ double-checks that everything in the house is straightened and in its proper place, despite having cleaned everything earlier that morning. a few peeks up the stairs towards her brother's room is the only other movement she makes besides nudging things here and there, taking a seat on the edge of a chair when she realizes that it probably won't be very long now. is quite aware (was made aware) that her brother had tricked anthony into thinking they were going to meet at twelve instead of twelve-thirty, but still can't help but glance outside the front window every few minutes to make sure that she would be there when he arrived. ]

Others don't count. I used it before you. So between us, it's mine.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Is that so.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

That is so.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Then it comes as a surprise to you?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

You're usually good about not taking my lines. You never take my lines.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

To be quite honest I cannot imagine anyone "taking your lines" in the first place.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

Because they're my lines. No one can say them as lovingly as me.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

I suppose. [ a pause, switching lanes again. ] So?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ blinks. ]

What?

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Anne.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

Oh. [ pauses as he briefly thinks over the conversation. ] If she wants to come, yeah.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ nods, satisfied with that answer. ]

I will be sure to inform her of your invitation.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

You're invited too, thief.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

I resent that remark. [ seemingly concentrates on the road for a moment or two, adding on finally: ] But I accept your invitation.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ eyes go back to the road as well, looking faintly pleased. ]

The first step is to admit you have a problem. We'll go over the second step over Thai.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

We will also be discussing your current handicap as well.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

I swear I still have both my kidneys.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

You have recently been quite distracted. [ stops, correcting himself: ] More distracted than usual. Why?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ goes silent for a moment, then clears his throat. ]

Uh. [ shakes his head. ] I'll try harder?

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ decides to let that statement settle for the moment, only speaking when he turns off the freeway. ]

Whatever it may be, you should not keep it to yourself. It will only complicate things more.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

Can't do much about this, though. [ another pause. ] Really can't. Unless you can send me to France with super stalker abilities.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ when they get to a light he turns his head towards anthony. just... this face. turns back to the road. ]

Sort it out by yourself, then. I am sure you are quite capable of doing that much by now.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ thunks his head lightly against the seat of the car. ]

That's my New Years resolutions.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ simply nods at that, tactfully dropping the topic. keeps to his silence the rest of the way to the mall, pulling into an empty spot when they arrive before shutting off the car and taking a step out. ]

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ follows him out, biting the inside of his cheek. closes the door & mumbles quietly: ]

Uh. Sorry. Thanks?
