“ you must be miss stark, right? i’m andrew, we haven’t met yet; i’m something of a newbie here. “ although, his former decision to say as little as humanly possible has diluted considerably over the last month. call it what you will, but somehow, the freedom here in this unexpected family has provided him with a new lease of life. he goes to school with victor and tina. he’s made friends with his classmates. he helps aisling around the diner, he does the social media for the diner with eli. richard insists on bringing him out to the lake to go fishing each saturday. somehow, despite it all, he has a family. a home. a sense of belonging. without these, he wouldn’t have the comfort and ease of self to be able to politely greet THE carter stark at the door. he extends a hand to shake hers, and even manages a small smile, concealing that brief rise in anxiety with a waving gesture to come in from the cold. “ would you like a drink? we’re a little low on ginger ale, but aisling went to the grocery store to pick up some more; and henri put out some hors d’oeuvres, but he’s being strangely cryptic about whether or not we’re allowed to eat them. “
@starcchild liked THIS POST for a family holiday dinner starter! ( and i’m gonna put the locations of all the other muses in the tags if u want carter to mingle!! )
