Women are made to be loved, not understood.

[Friday, August 22nd (Day 453)]
[Late Afternoon, The General Store]

I've mulled this over as long as possible. There was talking, there was compromising, there was some happy note there at the end: and still, still, I have no idea where we stand. It shouldn't bother me -- it doesn't bother me, i won't let it -- but it does. She slept just fine, I made sure of that, with nothing else to worry after. It's not as though I can't cook, I've learned to tend to the baby, and there's room enough for all three of us here, more than enough if she'd think to step foot in the damn house I bought--

To be fair, I'm probably wrong. And to be fair, I doubt if it even matters. But, to be fair, I am drunk.

So I run a comb through my hair, find a mint hiding in the nightstand drawer, and head over to the General Store.

It's a quiet sort of day in the store, and so I'm doing some knitting behind the counter. Well, it'll be winter in a few months but Glass's baby is going to keep on growing, so I should be prepared. My needles clack gently and the afternoon's passing quite well.

The door bell rings and I look up with a smile.

"Dorian," I say, and then feel myself frown slightly. There's something about the way he's walking... Is he drunk? I set my knitting down. "How nice to see you."
