“do you really?” his voice is laced with a combination of disbelief and outright skepticism, but his heart still clings to that fleeting hope that maybe she does, in fact, understand him. it would be impressive when all these conflicting feelings that have been brewing inside his chest since his ma’s passing make little to no sense even to him, but he wants to convince himself that it’s possible. after all, there was a point in his life when lucy gray knew him better than anyone else. maybe some of that magic is still here today. “oh, so you didn’t throw my name out there, but i did inspire you? lovely,” he sighs, frustration coiling deep inside his belly, threatening to spill out of him but her laugh disarms him before he can reach that point. instead of snappy comments, a chuckle slips past his lips. “i’m nor sure if i’m honored, terrified, heartbroken or… disappointed with myself.” when they were younger, he’d sometimes dream about being her muse but not in that way. he wanted to be the inspiration behind every love song, not breakup anthems. “yeah? that’s good, good.” he can’t explain why but it annoys him how protective she is of joe. no one was ever this protective of them while they were growing up, has she already forgotten how many valuable life lessons those experiences taught them?
“you—?” he softly teases, tucking away any negative emotions that are lurking in the darkest corners of his mind and putting on a soft smile. his arm’s growing numb and so he rolls onto his back once more and puts his hand on his abdomen. “were you sayin’ somethin’, birdie? sounded like you bit off too much of that chocolate cake of yours? you know, the one that you wouldn’t share with me?” there might be a lot of unresolved tension between them, but he still wants to make her laugh or at least smile. it’s part of his nature. “mhm, yeah, i did but it’s not for a role, unfortunately. i haven’t landed anything big yet. just felt the need to change somethin’. new york new me that kinda thing.” his voice gives him away, he’s sure of it but he still chooses to fib instead of admitting that he had a mental breakdown after their last conversation. it’s less embarrassing. “you should ice it,” he offers after a moment, sensing she doesn’t really want to talk about charlie or his new life. “your cheek, i mean. to make the swellin’ go down.” sadness creeping into his very bones when the picture she sent him earlier appears before his eyes. he’ll make billy taupe pay for this.
"i understand." no she didn't, because she was still deep down angry about it. one day she'd learn to accept it, but not tonight. she was left to fulfill these dreams that had died and change into something new for him so suddenly while she stayed behind and didn't have her best friend that loved these animals as much as her and wanted to do something together to help them anymore. she always daydreamed her life would go like that... she'd be lucy gray bonney one day, they'd have their own farm to play on, they'd have plenty of horses and then they'd have a family. but like he said, those were little boy dreams. those were just little girl dreams. in reality, life was cruel and never went the way you planned it. "huh?" getting caught up in her thoughts, she came back to reality. "oh. no. i would never drop any names, at least. even if i did." the songstress sheepishly laughed, feeling embarrassed he was really going to check those songs that are definitely about him out. that he'd figure out she was a second taylor swift. but again... least she would never name drop him. "i don't have to ask him, he does help me with a lot. him and maude ivory both. they're great babies and i love takin' care of them." lucy gray bragged, they did they're typical childish shenanigans time to time but for the most part they were great kids and she loved and adored them more than life.
"i-" voice trailing off, about to thank him for calling her sunshine, didn't even know he had a single nice thing to say about her and there he is... continuing to surprise her. and before she can let his change of personality dwell on her mind and the sadness that came about him losing his mother, she was stunned at the news about his hair. "you cut your hair? shaved it?" she wonders....what does THAT possibly look like? and WHY? had she said something to him that made him cut his hair, since that's why she cut her own. "is that for a role or something?" since that was only the other explanation she could think of. "okay, yeah, i will." she says just to agree, getting a drink of water and then rummaging for an advil before taking one and getting another drink of water. hopefully he's at least a better friend than jesse.
