You gave my sister cancer, you bitch.

If you wanted? I mean, Will's coming with us to the hospital on Monday. And he's with Tess twenty-four seven, I mean he has to be, they work together, so...but I'm just sort of taking care of the non-essential things. And waiting for either of my boyfriends to get back to me.

[blueherring]

I just want to help.
It's inappropriate, damn.

[She didn't even know any of those people.]

[legaltoughguy]

I'm starting to think my entire life is cursed, Kat. Like I did something wrong somewhere all those years ago and I'm never allowed to be happy for more than a few weeks or a few months.

[blueherring]

Bullshit.
That's bullshit you hear me?

[She'll poke into his chest.]

Everyone's gonna get through it, and things are gonna be just fine, Andrew.
You're tough. Your sister's probably twice as tough. And the doctor'sll take that shit right out. Just stay with me here.

[legaltoughguy]

[He's surprised by the ferocity of her response, which actually makes him take a step backward.]

There's a lot of history here, Kat. Things you don't know about.

[blueherring]

[When he steps backwards, she hesitates, biting her lip. She felt her own little pang of empathy and she was getting to emotionally invested cause of mistakes she made.]

I...
I know.
I just--

You're such a great guy, Andrew.
I don't know what to do. She's lucky to have a brother like you.

[legaltoughguy]

Sometimes I don't feel that way.

[He sighs.]

Look, why don't you come over for dinner? You sound like you could use some company yourself. And I'm on my own, at least until Michael gets back into town.

[blueherring]

Dinner sounds great.

[She nods.]

We can catch up-- last time we were cut short.

[At least she thought so...]

[legaltoughguy]

Of course. Though I don't know how much you want to know.

[A shaky laugh at that, as he writes down his address for her and hands it to her on the back of one of his business cards.]

I'll get something started. Come over whenever you'd like. The only thing that might happen is Michael might turn up. He said he was on his way back when I talked to him.

[blueherring]

I suppose I'll share you.

[A gentle joke-- considering who he was.]

[legaltoughguy]

[He can laugh about that, considering he's in a relationship with two other men at the moment.]

Funny, Kat. You'd like Mike, though. He's really a stand-up guy.

[blueherring]

[Which Kat could consider really hot yet again. She was a little jealous he had so much action.]

I'd love to meet him. Who's the other one? Or ones?

[He did mention other boyfriends-- but didn't specify how many exactly. Damnit Andrew. So much action.]

[legaltoughguy]

Damien. Michael's partner at work. He's...off on a mission somewhere, probably.

[He didn't know where Damien was, and it worried him that Michael didn't either. Michael was supposed to always know. But worrying about Damien on top of worrying about Tessanne would just give him an ulcer, so he had to trust that Damien could take care of himself.]

Should I start something? This time I swear I've got it. Haha.

[blueherring]

I'd like to meet him too.
I'll see you, alright?

lol go ahead.

[legaltoughguy]

Sure. See you soon.
