Marco
I park my car at its usual spot before taking the short stairs and opening the door to the warmth and comfort of my home. Well more like a house without the looming presence of Dee, infusing his calm and tranquility into the otherwise large expanse of sophisticated interior design and expensive furniture.
"Honey is that you?" I jump back slightly, the suddenness of the voice catching me unawares. Some jumpiness and edge is expected right? At least that's what Jarrell the therapist says during his unsolicited visits that somehow become free therapy sessions.
"Yes mommy." I yell back in reply, reaching to open the fridge and grab some water to quench my thirst.
"How did the meeting go?" Right. My appearance before the university board panel. Awful, painful, terrible and every other word out there that means that my heart was ripped apart like shredded papers.
"Uhm good. Do you want something from the kitchen?" I turn the conversation away from me, not really feeling the need to approach this nightmare on a loop.
"I'm okay honey, come see what we've done with the place." I swallow the huge swig of my water before proceeding into the shock awaiting me. There's flowers and decorations everywhere. I gaze with a confused expression at the happiness on the ladies' faces. My mommy, Bess, and my in-laws all look so proud of their 'arrangements'.
It looks like a unicorn family farted in here.
"It's..." I struggle for a word to describe this colorful situation. "....red" I point to the flower Bess is holding.
"Question, do you think we should put this bouquet on the island to complement the brown, or in the vase over here to shine against the peach?" How do I tell them that Damon is not really a flower person? He actually prefers them in the garden where they belong than in a vase on your dining table. But they're so excited and I can't break their hearts. The four pairs of eyes gaze at me expectedly joy radiating in their eyes.
"It'll look good on the island." Kelly eagerly skips to set up the flower. This will be a cleaning disaster tomorrow.
But we can enjoy it for today. A little over two weeks and my husband is finally coming home. Everyone is going to be here in like an hour, so I needed to get a move on to go bring Dee home. At least Nate would stop having to daydream about smothering my husband with a pillow.
The women start their bickering on where the petals should go and I know that's my cue to leave. Like a ninja, I slowly find my way back out the way I came in, leaving them to it.

Damon
"That's bullshit." Come on they know that's utter crap. "It's the freaking rules." I know how many times those rules gave me blue balls.
"That's what my sources say." Kasper's baritone voice rings out from the other side of the call.
Harry's lawyers apparently went through the logs and want to claim Marco led him on to do what he did. The also want to tender a psych evaluation that he has a form of obsessive disorder and Marco was his object of focus and with Marco's show of interest, Harry had quickly turned violent. I want to smash in his face so badly, break his fucking facial bones. My baby is not an object.
"You gotta tell me how you want this handled Damon, legal or otherwise." Kasper is the lawyer that handles all the legal shit for pretty much all the big companies that I know. We've all grown up together so to see him turn into this cold hearted bastard gets chilling sometimes. But he's our coldhearted bastard. Also a family business, Kasper is the legal retainer for various companies as well as, the cartel, gangs, and the Russian mafia.
