[The video shows a hospital corridor. There's some chairs. On one of them sits Cameron - high heels, pencil skirt, blazer, cup of coffee clasped in both hands and her eyes tightly closed. Her mouth is moving silently.]

Ms Lynde? [A doctor speaking, and Cameron stands up and takes a few steps forward, towards the doctor who's face is carefully ( Read more... )

☁ flavour of the day: hurt, ☁ flavour of the day: cursed

Cameron...? Excuse me, but--has something happened?

[1/3] heelsandlaw May 15 2011, 09:23:08 UTC

[The reply icly comes quite a while after this went up.]

That wasn't-- I don't know how--

[2/3] heelsandlaw May 15 2011, 09:23:57 UTC

It's one of those curse weekends, isn't it?

[3/3] heelsandlaw May 15 2011, 09:24:46 UTC

That was--

[Deep breath.] It was a long time ago. It's a memory, nothing else.

axeofoath May 15 2011, 16:28:11 UTC

A memory? Then-

[He's not the type to pry despite his concern.] I-I'm sorry. It can't be a pleasant reminder.

heelsandlaw May 15 2011, 18:38:39 UTC

No. No, it's not very pleasant. [There's another pause and when she speaks again, her voice is very calm.] My father died that night.

axeofoath May 16 2011, 15:06:43 UTC

Your father...How terrible. Hoow long has it been, if you don't mind my asking?

heelsandlaw May 16 2011, 21:12:27 UTC

A little over three years now.

axeofoath May 16 2011, 21:56:16 UTC

That is a short time when he must have been in your life for so long...Cameron, I'm very sorry for your loss.

heelsandlaw May 16 2011, 21:57:37 UTC

Thank you. It's... I'm fine, though, really. [Which she is. Usually.]

axeofoath May 16 2011, 22:03:07 UTC

Really? It can't be easy to suddenly see it displayed like this...

A-ah, perhaps you should do something to relax--to take your mind off of it.

heelsandlaw May 16 2011, 22:05:29 UTC

No, it certainly isn't. But then, I've been lucky with curses so far. Figures I'd end up with an uncomfortable one sooner rather than later.

[Sigh.] Maybe I should.

axeofoath May 17 2011, 23:30:59 UTC

Perhaps, but still--I only hope that you're free from any more unpleasant curses for a long time.

Yes, that might be for the best. A book, a warm bath, and a hot cup of tea.

heelsandlaw May 18 2011, 08:19:40 UTC

Yeah, that'd be nice. For all of us, really.

Or maybe a glass of wine.

axeofoath May 18 2011, 19:50:28 UTC

Yes, but after this, I think you could use it more than most.

Wine? Well, anything you believe may work best...

heelsandlaw May 19 2011, 09:33:11 UTC

There's worse curses than this. At least it's just a memory. Could've been me actually stuck feeling the way I did back then again.

I prefer wine to tea.
