"Ah, yes, Frank. We've had many a good time together." He laughs. "I suppose I did change a lot. It had a lot to do with my Uncle. We didn't get along."

Permalink

"That's too bad. I'm grateful my family stayed away even after the divorce. They're good people, and I love them, but it's much easier to control when I visit them."

Permalink

"That was the idea I had in college, but then my father passed away and my uncle was himself, so I moved back home. Have been here ever since."

Permalink

"That sounds hard, I'm sorry. At least you have Juliet now."

Permalink

"She makes it worth it. No room for regrets. What about you, any juicy gossip in your town growing up? Where are you from?"

Permalink

"Nowhere, Arizona. I was known as the town slut, which is an impressive reputation at thirteen. I still haven't figured out how it started."

Permalink

"That's- yeah," he laughs, "they tended to lean more towards drugs and alcohol with my rumors. Sexism at it's finest there."

Permalink

"I don't know, my father-in-law refined sexism until it demanded a debutante ball. High school was nothing compared to that."

Permalink

"Not something I ever had a part in, my mother tried. I just tended to be much too busy. Raf and I spent a lot of time together for a while there."

Permalink

"Really? He never mentioned that he knew you. He only ever talked about what everyone else was saying."

Permalink

"Well, the fact that I had the biggest crush on him in high school might have had something to do with that."

Permalink

"You poor thing. Did he ever try to do that thing where he strips...?"

Permalink

"I never got that, he was either very very straight or just not interested. Either way, no stripping."

Permalink

"Probably straight. I'm sorry you missed it, it's really something. He was always sexiest when he wasn't trying. That's probably half of why things went so wrong."

Permalink

"I can see that. Did you ever see him play? He was something. Kind of a mess, but a good-looking mess."

Permalink

"He stopped playing after high school. He had some old videos, though. That's probably why Scott got so into it."

Permalink

"That's interesting. Maybe I'm in some of them. Juliet would probably get a laugh out of them. After she critiqued the quality of the video, probably."

Permalink

"I'm glad Scott hasn't picked something to act superior about. I don't think I'm as patient as you."

Permalink

"It keeps her focused, so it works for us. She has bipolar, the art helps her cope with that."

Permalink

"That's good to hear. Is she going to try that professionally?"

Permalink

"She has many plans. Art school is definitely in her future, at the very least. She's been eyeing Paris in particular. Though hopefully, she'll decide on something closer to home."

Permalink

"Hopefully. Is it complicated to send her to school in another country?"

Permalink

"Very. I'd need to buy up property and move there myself, likely. But we haven't spoken about it. She was homeschooled until very recently. This whole high school and college thing is pretty alien to me."

Permalink

"Maybe I can teach you a thing or two."

Permalink

"You do seem to have it handled really well. Or maybe that's just your whole thing."
