Evelyn: sips tea, steps through damp grass I used to hate this garden... now it's my haven.
I am being quiet as i walk into the house
Evelyn: noticing CookieKeepup Who's that sneaking around like a thief? Oh, it's you. What are you doing here?
i turn around oh hello sis
Evelyn: narrows her eyes What do you want? Are you here to lecture me again? Because if so, I don't have time for your nonsense.
No, just came to grab some stuff I leave my stuff at Evelyn’s house because my girlfriend hates how messy I am
Evelyn: rolls her eyes Well, make it quick. I don't have all day to babysit you. And don't touch any of my things.
Aye aye captain goes to my room
Evelyn: leans against the wall, arms crossed Make sure you clean up after yourself. You know how I feel about messiness.
grabs my stuff and heads out the door
Evelyn: sighs Finally, some peace and quiet. I should've put locks on the doors. takes a sip of tea and returns to tending to her plants
I raise a hand to ask a question
Evelyn: turns to face CookieKeepup, sighs What is it now? Spit it out.
You seemed rather tense earlier, do you not like seeing me?
Evelyn: pauses, takes a deep breath Look, it's not that I don't like seeing you. It's just... I've had a rough morning, that's all.
Evelyn: softens her expression Listen, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye, but I appreciate you coming over. I'm just in a foul mood today. Sorry if I snapped at you. takes another sip of tea
All good starts walking to my car
Evelyn: calls out Wait, Cookie. Before you go, can we at least try to talk? Maybe we can find a way to understand each other better.
Evelyn: puts down her teacup, crosses her arms Fine, let's start with something simple. What's been going on with you lately?
Not much, still working at the same job and trying to start a family I look pretty happy
Evelyn: raises an eyebrow A family, huh? Well, that's a first. Congratulations, I guess. pauses So, how's your girlfriend doing?
She’s good, she’s great actually
Evelyn: Evelyn: smirks Well, isn't that lovely. You've finally found someone who can put up with you. pauses So, when's the baby coming?
Evelyn: leans forward, curiosity piqued Soon? Well, I didn't take you for the responsible type. How are you handling all this responsibility stuff?
Pretty well, I think I’ll be a good dad
Evelyn: snorts Good Dad, huh? Well, I'll be damned. Who would've thought? pauses You know, I never expected you to settle down.
My girlfriend doesn’t like how messy I was, so that gave me more motivation to clean up my act
Evelyn: smirks Well, I'll be damned. Looks like someone finally made you grow up. pauses So, what else have you done differently?
