can we pretend we're dead?

[ it's not like they're very good hosts ]

[kgbs]

He would show up anyway.

[ because he wouldn't believe that was true. ]

I can tell him no, though. He won't overstep that boundary if you'd rather not. I don't care one way or another.

[ he probably wants to show up just to size up daisy, let's be real. ]

[evite]

he'll just ask again another time

[ time to be an Adult ]

he needs to get a hotel, though

[kgbs]

He will be fine with that.

[ because they didn't need him bringing a woman home during this visit. ]

I don't think I've asked why you dislike him as much as you do.

[evite]

i don't dislike him

[ could have fooled literally anyone on the planet ]

i'm pretty sure he thinks i'm your live-in secretary, though

[kgbs]

I have told him what you are.

[ kind of. he'd made it clear she wasn't a secretary, at least. ]

I do not need a secretary.

[evite]

i don't know if that's true
you still won't use the calendar i put in your phone

[ who uses handwritten franklin covey planners anymore??? ]

what did you tell him?

[kgbs]

I do not need that calendar. The one I have works perfectly well. I've used it for years.

[ old man and proud of it. ]

I said you were my woman.

[ that was right, right? ]

[evite]

...

[ fuck the calendar conversation, she needs a minute ]

we can talk about how i'm not your possession in a minute
but you realize that's basically the same thing to him, right?

[kgbs]

What? How is that the same thing? It is not. I made it clear what you are to me.

[ hadn't he? he'd said the words and then ignored solo because it wasn't his business. ]

[evite]

you basically told him i was your wife

[ which. she is not. mostly because they don't really talk about that sort of thing. ]

he has no idea what i actually do, does he?

[kgbs]

That is not what I told him. There is a difference between woman and wife.

[ they were not the same thing. ]

I have not told him much about you, no.

[ again, not his business. ]

[evite]

which is......?

[ she's just sitting on the couch drumming her fingers against the armrest. waiting. very patiently. ]

[kgbs]

Wife denotes marriage, something we are not.

[ maybe in a few decades. ]

Woman means companion. Partner. Person I care about.

[ D I F F E R E N T. ]

[evite]

so the only difference is an overpriced blood diamond?

[ THEY'RE THE SAME ]

people in this century call that their girlfriend

[kgbs]

[ THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. ]

Does the terminology really matter? He knows what you are to me and you know what you are to me.

[ you better know. ]

[evite]

[ YES, THEY ARE. ]

this is why he thinks i'm your secretary

[ she's not addressing it. tell her. ]

[kgbs]

[ NO, THEY ARE NOT. fight him. ]

He does not think that because he knows, unlike some people, what I mean when I say who you are to me.

[ calm down there, bucko. ]

[evite]

you do know people can be in love with their secretaries, right?

[ stares in russian........... ]

[kgbs]

[ SIGH. ]

I know. That does not change the fact that you are not my secretary and he knows that.

[evite]

...

[ abruptly changes the subject ]

are you coming home for dinner?

[kgbs]

yes.

[ he saw that subject change, daisy. ]

are you?

[evite]

are you making me dinner?

[ because you owe her one ]

[kgbs]

I wasn't planning on cooking.

[ he...could he supposes but picking something up was just easier. ]

[evite]

then you're taking me out for dinner

[ still technically easier. ish. this is what he gets for not telling solo the truth. ]
