Mort went to her, sitting beside her on the grass. "Don't suggest such a thing, sweetpea! I don't think you could be naughty if you tried. No, if I know my daughter, something happened on the phone. Probably one of her old friends. Grown ups can get themselves into all sorts of silly situations they need their friends to get them out of."
He opened the palm of his hand, one of Belias' toffees sitting in the centre of it. "Zari brought me some last year, and I haven't had the chance to finish them yet."
He wondered if it was Atlas. God, he hoped he was okay. Zari tried her best to be loyal to the both of them, but the fact she hadn't even told him that Atlas was alive and well recently was worrisome.
Away from the two of them Zari was starting to let her emotions show. "I can't believe him!" she huffed at Belias, shaking her head. "That idiot! It's been months, Belias. You know it as well as I do, because I've told you enough times. Who does he think he is calling me like this? He'd barely told me anything until tonight, h's been hiding almost a year of his life and I was too relieved to even be angry at him."
She took a breath. "I just. I knew something real bad had happened to him, Beli. I knew. He's never dropped off the map like that before. The last thing I heard from him were some stupid drunk texts. Who on earth says "I did a terrible thing, Zar, I don't think I can live like this" and then... doesn't say anything?" My god, Belias he nearly died and didn't think to come to us." Her breath was hitching in her throat. "He's... okay. Thank the gods. He's still alive."
We’re all hysterical & going nowhere together.
C’mon rapture. Let’s go bedazzling.
Nothing gets futured without its own spitshine
& I’m already not not not not not not miraculous.
