it's been about a week since austin left. right now, anna is coloring in her book on the couch. and mom is on the floor in front of her with robin. she's doing some tummy time while dad and i are in the kitchen, cooking.

as we are doing so, i can't help but complain about literally everything. "no dad. you don't understand. she's ignoring me right now. me. as if i did something wrong. at her grown ass age she should have the decency to at least reach out and apologize."

just as i say this, my phone pings. when i pick it up, i can see that it's a text from harry.

hares
hey lil. i just wanna apologize. could we meet up?

"who is it?" mom asks, barely looking up from robin.

"harry," i respond, placing the knife in my hand down onto the counter. "he wants to meet up."

"tell him no."

"mom, i wouldn't be any better than madeline if i did that," i say back.

"it's harry, you should respond," dad says.

i nod, "i agree, dad."

popping a slice of cucumber into my mouth, i begin chewing as i type my response.

lili
hey! yeah sure, how about 3:30?

hares
sounds good, i could come pick you up

lilli
okay, see you then

later that day, about thirty minutes or so before harry is supposed to pick me up, i'm sitting on the couch and facetiming austin.

"how's the movie going so far?"

"great! i miss you, though."

"i miss you too. i can't make it a full six weeks. it's been 6 days and i'm already miserable."

he laughs, "you look beautiful. how are robin and anna?"

"anna is great," i smile, "she loves school and she's made many friends. and robin is doing well too, he's crawling around everywhere which is honestly a little scary."

"god, i wish i was there."

"you can be," i shrug, "i say fuck the movie and come home."

"you know i can't do, lil," he replies.

sighing, i say, "i know. well, i'll talk to you later. bye, love you."

"bye, love you too."

"oh fuck," i mumble after hanging up the phone.
