Missing old friends and wallowing.

[plusonesecond]

[Anna just gives her mun a surprisingly sad look. Not common for the woman who makes a living being as tough as possible.]

I miss them, okay? I miss Dan. I know we only had that one thread together, but he was really nice to me, nicer than anyone's ever been. And I liked the idea of having some part of my life that was not fucked up.

Dan looked at me like I was normal. Nobody looks at me like that.

[She's not going to cry.]

I miss Paul too. I'm aware his mun's got RL stuff to deal with. But that doesn't mean I don't miss him, and his stupid sappy attempts to make me smile. Who the hell still brings a woman flowers anyway?

[A half-smile, shaking her head. Then a long pause, as the smile fades.]

I don't know what you want me to do.
