โthey say kids are the best judge of character. maybe if mila likes her, she really is better,โ natalie says, being hopeful at least. but even val was skeptical.
finishing off the last of her wine, she sets the glass down then settles back against sofia. โi missed this. we +
โkay, iโll come pick you up,โ natalie decides, just excited that sofiaโs willing to go somewhere outside of the gated community.
she hums, another sip taken from her wine glass. โitโs gotta be too good to be true, right? like, therapy isnโt magic.โ
โiโm not. the boutiques closed because of a water leak so i have the whole week off,โ nat says, topping off her glass and setting the bottle on the table.
head settles against sofiaโs and she takes a sip. โshe really must be trying to make up for lost time. or theyโre guilt +
eyes glance at the tv and she shakes her head. โnah, matt wonโt go watch it with me. heโs got a thing about anne hathaway.โ
glancing over, she laughs softly. โmy mom did the same thing when she got back with tyler a couple of years ago, remember? i got a whole new car when she +
natalie hums and finishes off her second slice of pizza. โiโm just saying. but maybe things really are different now.โ
nodding, she stands up and grabs her wine glassโfollowing sofia into the living room. โthank god. your old couch sucked,โ she says, sinking into the new one. +
โyeah, thatโs insane. but itโs not like itโs the first time sheโs cheated,โ natalie points out, remembering her mom mentioning when sheโd cheated on callie.
โme either. just glad someoneโs life is more dramatic than mine.โ
โmaybe itโll be different this time, with both of them being in therapy,โ natalie says, picking her pizza up and taking another bite.
one last bites taken before she reaches for a second slice. โsophieโs probably pissed.โ
natalie almost chokes on her pizza, having to take a sip of her wine to wash it down. โyouโre kidding? she told my mom she was buying a place.โ
she takes another bite before setting her pizza down on her plate. โtheyโre text book definition u-haul lesbians.โ
โdonโt blame you,โ natalie says, not even able to imagine what sofia had gone through. โthe whole gated community thing is nice. i swear, they did a background check just to let me in.โ
sheโs joking of course, but she really is glad sofias safe. โwhenโs your mom supposed +
picking up the glass, natalie takes a seat and hums. โshe might surprise you. we brought hope last weekend and she did really good.โ
she flips open the pizza box, a slice grabbed and she bites into it. โgood for him, though. iโm glad you guys are getting out of the house.โ
โlooks like a new build,โ natalie comments, having gone to school for architecture for a while until a depressive episode ruined that. โitโs really nice.โ she sets the pizza down, a seat taken at the island. โwhereโs ben and mila?โ
nat doesnโt answer since sheโs on her way, pizza picked up before she makes her way to the house. she hadnโt been there since they moved so when she walks in, her eyes widen. โholy shit. this place is huge.โ
