Undeniable

how foolish of me

Wednesday POV:
I finally made the decision to return to Nevermore. Mother and father couldn't have been happier. It's revolting. I made it clear to them that they had not influenced my decision.
"Oh Wednesday, that is amazing news!" mother was especially happy.
"I knew you liked Nevermore." That is where you're wrong mother. I'm going there for an investigation. A personal one that too.
"I'm going there for personal business. Not because i like being there."
"You can say whatever you want, i'm just happy you're going." Father was just as happy about my decision.
Pugsley had been rather quiet since i announced my decision.
"what put you in such a mood?"
"I like that you're going again, but i am going to miss you." Of course he'd feel such emotions. I did say he wouldn't last without me.
"I had gone before. It's not like i'm leaving for the first time. You'll be just fine after a while. You're in charge of taking care of mother and father"
"i know, what's the personal business you're going for?"
"It's personal for a reason Pugsley."
I don't want Pugsley knowing about the stalker. He'd just be worried and that would cause him to go to mother and father. And it would no longer be personal.
"I mean i guess so. Still gonna miss you"
"I'll miss you too, i'll think of you every time i spend time with Euguene."
"Euguene?"
I spent about 5 minutes explaining to Pugsley who Euguene was, all about his bees, how helpful he is and how we hummers stick together. Euguene is probably one of my only friends at Nevermore, including Enid. And maybe a certain artist. My phone makes that very annoying sound again as i go to pick it up.

- Why hello Wednesday. I'm so glad that you finally replied. Of course you'd say it was an invasion of privacy. It's not my fault that you were a good muse. I feel like when you play the cello, it's the only time anyone gets to see the real you. I was lucky to have seen you in such a moment. Thank you for my few words, i really appreciate it. I'll be looking forward to more words from you?

I feel a slight smile tug at my lips when i read his message. It quickly goes away before it could tug up completely. How foolish of me. Thing noticed my reaction.
*tap* *tap* *tap* *tap* *tap*= "what got you almost smiling?"
I could practically feel the teasing he meant from those taps.
"Nothing. I have to pack now, let's go"
I go back to my room to pack my stuff for my inevitable return to Nevermore.
