<sub>[You know what?]

[Heather's not even sure why she TRIES anymore.]





[So done. So done.]</sub>


Here we go again.


... Yes, Cooj, I still love you.

Just not right now.

It's better than home.

_{[It's a blunt admission but one that's all too true, so it's ... well, it's said for what it is: fact. Truth. Yet with something almost careful about it.]}

[foolishwren]

<sub>[... Laura. :c]

[She's quiet for a second or two... and then shifts the arm onto Laura's shoulders after all. And gives her a squeeze.]</sub>

[nowherefast]

_{[Laura accepts this without fuss and leans on Heather's shoulder for a few moments, appreciating the gesture for what it is. But in the end she pulls away a bit to watch the other girl's face, to shift the focus again back to her. She's concerned, after all.]}

What happened here, Maine?

[foolishwren]

<sub>[As much as Heather would like to keep the visit happy, considering how few of them she gets... there's not much point. Laura saw right through her.]

[So Heather just sort of sighs, loosening her grip from the hug a little bit herself.]</sub>

A lot.


.... I was waiting for BOB.

_{[And then she found out that BOB wasn't coming. Which was all fine and dandy, except she'd also had to say goodbye to Cooper for what was possibly the very last time. That hadn't been fine and dandy at all.]}
