Chapter 22. One sweet world

[bloody_pens]

Attention to all my friends, peers and would-be stalkers:

Yes, I have talked to Promise, and yes, she knows she's my daughter now.

So you can stop talking about me or whatever the heck else it is you're doing.

Now Genius just needs to get his dorky butt back here and I can breathe easy.

So all Youth's randomly adopted kids are out of my house now? Ah, good.

...Someone should tell Genius you've been looking at his "dorky butt."

The line originally read "his skinny butt". |D

[bloody_pens]

She'll be living with me, yup. Hopefully.

[He is pointedly ignoring that second line.]

cute both ways! At least it's not a non-existent butt.

[grab_my_bells]

Do you two have space? I assume Boss is being released back into the wild, but what about Genius?

Or do you plan to share a bed with him and let Promise have her own?

[bloody_pens]

Meh, she can sleep in my room and I'll grab the couch. Or something. We'll work it out.

[pentaps. pentaps of reading and going away and thinking and coming back and all that good stuff.]

I had no idea Promise was your daughter. I'm happy for you.

[bloody_pens]

Didn't really talk about it much. I didn't know she was until after she left the first time.

Thanks.

[mythgravenblade]

I can understand why you wouldn't.

...the Tree is cruel. But at least not right now.

Sometimes it does give back a little of what it takes. Not often enough, but still.
