I know, it's two chapters of "House of Pullip" two days in a row but I'm just getting caught up here. Please enjoy! :D
Chapter 358: Break Down
Taryn: Oh… *sniff* Sebastian…I’m okay…
Sebastian: No, you are not. How can I be of assistance?
Taryn: N-nothing. *sniff* Th-there’s n-nothing y-you can do.
Sebastian: At least tell me why you are crying.
Taryn: I…I just miss my husband. *sob*
Sebastian: Yes, Mr. Felix has been parted from you for several months.
Taryn: Six months.
Sebastian: Crying about that is not a bad thing. It only shows you care. And I am sure he misses you just as much.
Taryn: *sniff* I k-know he d-does.
Sebastian: It will be alright in the end.
Taryn: I know…my heart tells me it will all work out, and soon probably. But I’m getting worn down…and my brother… *sniff* He isn’t helping.
Sebastian: Your brother? Is he not offering his support in your time of need?
Taryn: Not really.
*Sebastian scowls*
Taryn: Laszlo is still upset at Felix for…you know…all that business that went on before we got married.
Sebastian: Ah, yes. I remember.
Taryn: He blames Felix, he won’t forgive him. But…it’s none of Laszlo’s business. I never blamed Felix, we worked it out. I just don’t understand why Laszlo won’t forgive him and just forget it.
Sebastian: Speaking as an overprotective brother, it can be very hard for us to see our sisters go through tough times and not want to blame someone. We can be very…irrational.
Taryn: *small laugh* That sounds about right for Laszlo right now, he’s very irrational. But I don’t think he realizes how much he is hurting me by acting that way.
*Taryn’s tears start flowing again*
Sebastian: What you need is a good friend. You are on your way to work, if I am not mistaken? Please allow me to accompany you there. Kiki will be a much better comfort to you then I.
*Sebastian offers Taryn his arm*
*Taryn takes Sebastian arm and he slowly walks her to “The Sweet Shoppe”*
Taryn: Th-thank you, Sebastian.
Sebastian: Think nothing of it, Miss Taryn. I hope you will be happy soon.
*Taryn and Sebastian enter “The Sweet Shoppe”*
Kiki: Sebastian? *see Taryn upset* Taryn!
Sebastian: Kiki, my dear, I believe Miss Taryn could use your help right about now.
Kiki: Oh, Taryn! *Kiki embraces Taryn who starts crying again*
Sebastian: *clears throat* I will leave you two alone, if that is agreeable?
*Kiki smiles at Sebastian and nods*
*Sebastian leaves them alone*
Taryn: *sobbing* I-I’m sorry, Kiki! I d-didn’t w-want to cry about Felix in fr-front of everyone! I’m trying to be s-strong, but I c-can’t do it anymore.
Kiki: To be honest, I’m amazed you didn’t break down before now. You are strong, Taryn, and it’s okay to cry. I’m here for you.
To be continued...
More little tantalizing hints about what the deal is Laszlo has with Felix. If you are confused...well, that's by design so don't worry. It will all become clear eventually. :P Sebastian is still a gentleman and Kiki is a good friend. And maybe you noticed something else in this chapter that you didn't know before? ;)
Sorry I have no additional photos to add lately. With my lap top breaking and school getting out today I just haven't had the time to do anything above and beyond my photo story (which I need to stay sane). I'm freaking out a tiny bit because my oldest son will be in high school when school starts back up again in August. That's just...crazy! :P
