[The pen rests here for a bit.]

I will be over.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Okay. Don't really feel like talking much, though.

[spandexisyouth]

I know.

[ruby-nova.livejournal.com]

Derrick... I'll be right there.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[Damn, wasn't this the second time? It wasn't easy seeing this happen with family you weren't close to. With someone like a daughter... it was hard to imagine.]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Me too.

I have a bottle of wine and a free cushion on my couch. You know where to find me if you need it.




I'm so sorry, Rick.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Could use both right about now, I think. Appreciate it.

[dont-leave-town.livejournal.com]

Maybe. But that doesn't make the departure any easier.

You want me to come pick you up? Weather's been a little ornery lately.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Please do.
