His patience disappears. There one second, gone the next. His eyes find the makeup before they really find Lily and Frank is having to hold onto every shred of self-control he has to try and sound reasonable. “ You look— ” There is a shake of the head, again and again, and again. Unable to come up with a sincere end to his sentence that wouldn’t bring a disastrous end to his daughter’s night, Frank tries instead, “ Real grown up. ” 

Memory serves him better than it usually would and he immediately, unequivocally hates it. Hates that dress, hates that party, hates Bells for a quick flashing second. “ That’s— That’s Bella’s dress, right ? ” A nod. “ Look, your make up is really cool and all, kid, but that dress— It— It looks like you’re wearing your mom’s clothes or some shit. —I, hm, I have an idea. How about you go back into the bathroom, and get into your normal clothes, and I can take you shopping ? You know, you’ll get a little late to the party, but I’ll buy something from GAP or Gucci or whatever it is the name of the store you wanted your birthday gift from. ”

He can tell from the disappointed look in her face alone, that is not what Lily wanted to hear. He can tell from the eyes her eyes lowered, gaze not meeting his, that he’s hurt, a lot more than he had any intention to, but Lily goes back to the bathroom all the same, closes the door behind her.

His eyes find Arabella’s with the most incredulous look set across them. ” What the fuck, Arabella ? Really ? You don’t think you could have put her in anything else ? ”

“It’s terrifying,” she confirms, wiping away her tears. She hadn’t thought that she would open up to him so soon. Of course he isn’t unfamiliar with what had happened to her in the past and vice versa. But they had only talked about how difficult it had been without going into much detail. You don’t exactly share your entire life story with a guy from Craigslist coming to pick up a cabinet. And yet, that’s exactly what had happened. Though the guy from Craigslist is now also the guy you went on a couple of dates with.

“I’m sorry,” she apologizes, laughing in an attempt to try and make the situation a little less embarrassing. She knows he understands how she feels, but she hadn’t really intended on breaking down crying in front of him. Despite knowing that he understands this heartbreaking feeling of loss, she still feels embarrassed about crying. Maybe crying about your dead husband isn’t something you should be doing in front of your date.

It’s why she had walked away from him. Why she had left the room for a couple of minutes to drink some water and to try and control her emotions. When she had come back, her cheeks were still wet, but the crying had ceased. “I’m sorry,” she says again. “Sorry that I’m ending the night like this. You were great. I should be crying tears of joy.”

Quinn had second guessed himself a thousand times until she finally returned. Should he have gone after her? Did she need time alone? Did she want him to follow after her? He’d been frozen to the spot with uncertainty. He was still trying to figure out what Arabella might want or need from him. Quinn hadn’t wanted to overwhelm her if she needed space but he also didn’t want to seem like he was shying away from her opening up to him. 

Giving her a warm, sympathetic smile when she returns, “you don’t have to apologize. You didn’t do anything wrong,” he insists. “It’s alright,” tentatively he moves a little closer to her as he tries to gauge just how much his reassurances might be wanted by her in the moment, “you’re not going to scare me off by crying in front of me. Gonna need to try a little harder if you want to run me off,” he teases her a little, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. 

Slowly he brings his hand up to gently cup her cheek, thumb gently brushing against where the tears had fallen. His voice a little lower and more serious as he continues, “You can cry and be upset if that’s how you feel. I get it,” he offers gently, “you don’t have to hide it, unless that’s what you need - but I’m here if that’s what you need too.”

First Line

‘First Line’ 

The accident wasn’t her fault. Nor had it been Delilah’s. Some stupid kid pushed her down off the slide. Nicole had rushed with the call to the school, and decided (under strong advisory) to take Delilah along to the hospital. Her daughter was her priority over anything, even her shitty diner job. And luckily, Nicole was one to rarely skip (because she needed the money), so they let her off easy with this accident. Who would do that to her kid? Nicole had been convinced that her arm wasn’t broken… and she hoped it hadn’t been. But there was only one way to find out. And it pissed her off. 

It also pissed her off because she hated hospital’s after what happened years ago with her ex-boyfriend. That why she had tried her hardest not to step foot in one again. 

Approaching the front desk, she looked at the nurses’ and interrupted their conversation. She wasn’t usually a nice person, but she could be if someone was civil. “Hey, is there a nurse that can take my kid and look her over? I don’t know if it’s fucking broken or not, but I swear to god hope not.” By the looks of it, the waiting room wasn’t really busy, which might’ve been a good sign.

Dandelion

“I’ve got your usual.” It’s not everyday that the tea room’s owner would be the one personally serving guests, but this one was an exception. This woman had proved to be one of her most loyal customers-- as well, as be completely doting on Wendi’s young daughter. “Dandan talks a lot about you, you know? She calls you-- ah, what do you call her Dandan?” Wendi coos to the smiling toddler bouncing around her legs.

“Dandy lady!” Her small voice calls out, tiny chubby finger pointing at Arabella’s hair.

“Yes, dandy lady. She’s thinking dandelions-- they’re her favorite...flower.”

🛌

Jon awoke to the feeling of another beside him. He smiled, opened his eyes, and turned his head to look at the woman in his arms. He stayed still, watching for a while as she slept.

He walks into the room, arms sprawled out, fishing rods in hands, and a smile splattered across his features. It’s an image out of a child-picture book. Frank all too excited in his beige shorts and loose Hawaiian shirt. A cut out of what fathers looked like in children movies, as though a bad joke was preparing to leave his lips that every second. “ Lake, everyone. Let’s go ? ”

The smile only falters when his eyes find Lily. Knees pushed up against her chest in the couch, phone in hand and headphones in, barely even looking up with a “ Hun, ” as he speaks. His patience tips near the edge of disappearing before coming back down. Frank takes a very deep breath, eyes moving towards Arabella. “ Babe ? ”

Quinn didn’t often go trawling Craigslist but he was in need of a new cabinet and eventually he’d found what he was looking for and made contact with the buyer and arranged the place and time for pick up. The paranoia working in his brain fueled by all the horror stories from work and on the news about buys gone wrong that left him cautious about the exchange. He could hold his own but also knew he wasn’t invincible. So he left his keys, phone and wallet under the careful protection of Stella in the truck carrying only the cash he needed for the transaction. Even if someone wanted to rob with him and managed to get away with it, they likely wouldn’t want to rumble with her if they knew what was good for them. Though his concerns were quickly snuffed out when he knocked on the door only to be answered by a petite woman, if anything the roles were now reversed and Quinn was cognizant about his own behavior, not wanting to put her ill at ease. “Oh, hi,” he greeted with a friendly smile when she opened the door, “I’m, uh, here about the cabinet.”

Bathroom & Attic for Jimmy

meme // accepting. 

Bathroom:

How does the character prepare in the morning?

His first call is usually a drink. He’ll watch TV for about a half hour and nurse a vodka or two, then he’ll move onto the coke. After this he’ll take a shower, continuing to drink whilst showering, then he’ll head out. 

Do they sing in the shower?

You’re goddamn right he does. 

What kind of hair product/make-up do they use?

It varies, later in life he doesn’t use any, but when he was working with the Mafia he would slick his hair back to fit in. 

How clean is this character?

Mostly immaculate, however if some shit goes down he has no problem with conducting business covered in dirt. 

Does the character have thousands of shampoo/shower gel bottles by the shower, or do they use only the bare essentials?

He mostly just sticks with the bare essentials, he does occasionally exfoliate/moisturize but this mostly fell by the wayside. 

Attic:

What is the character afraid of?

Not much. As a child Jimmy suffered pretty horrendous night terrors, it forced him to face his fears head on. He’s afraid of losing his daughter, he was afraid to lose his wife too until it actually happened.  

How do they deal with bad memories?

Badly. Jimmy lets his emotions take over, does whatever he feels is necessary. 

What is this character’s role in a horror movie?

The axe-wielding maniac. 

How do they hide their secrets?

By never speaking of them? Duh

Which of the Seven Deadly Sins does the character relate to most?

Wrath.
