"THIS IS CRAZY, LOTTIE," Acacia declared, watching her sister pacing back and forth.
⠀⠀Charlotte Heller was not the kind of person who did things on impulse. She believed that people who did that kind of thing in their lives were idiots, because some people worry about their future and how things are going to turn out. She worried, and you get that instinct in you even more when you have people you love who depend on you: Andy and Acacia. But she didn't think it through that day when she quit her job.
⠀⠀She also ate too much chocolate when she was nervous. She was on her second bar.
⠀⠀"No, it's not. It's logic: he'll call," said the blonde, her mouth full.
⠀⠀"You were looking for an excuse to quit your job, deal with it. And I support you, but don't use something as stupid as, 'Great, Tony Stark didn't get maimed and now I can work at his company'," she spat. "And those are And's chocolates, she's going to be pissed."
⠀⠀"Well, there's no tequila!" She muttered, knowing that the younger girl had finished it, all too quickly. "I'll buy her more tomorrow."
⠀⠀"And with what money, teacher, if you no longer have a job?"
⠀⠀Charlotte didn't recognise when she was nervous, or rather, she preferred to ignore it. She was too anxious, and she was scared too. She wasn't going to admit that it had been completely stupid to quit her job when she had nothing else up her sleeve (apart from Stark), because it had been. She preferred to continue convincing Acacia and herself that things were going to work out just as she was planning. Even after three days with no response, she was still firm in her thinking.
⠀⠀Andy formed words with her alphabet soup while her mother transformed into a crazy woman looking at the phone and making sure it was connected about ten times a day. With her sister at home, Acacia would use the day to go out and have fun and sometimes she would arrive in a not very good state, but she would arrive. Lottie was noticing this, but part of her thought it was okay, as she spent most of her time looking after her daughter. On this particular day, she was still in her room, getting ready to leave.
