<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>Fell</em></strong> off the roof?! Not from my perspective!<br/><br/>"The Danny DeVito look-a-like?" I look at Jaclyn very seriously and shake my head. <br/><br/>"If by falling you mean: his partner pushed him as he was stumbling, then yes .. he fell. It was a subtle push, but I swear it happened. Probably why it's being covered up. If that live feed is out there somewhere you'd have some serious leverage on them."<br/><br/>"This du Monde lady, I don't think I've ever met her. Not that I'd remember if I had but ... I dunno names tend to "ring a bell," even if I don't know why. Doesn't seem like the sort you get mixed up with though. Not that it's my business."<br/><br/>I take another sip, nearly emptying my glass as she offers to let me stay here, and talks about her upcoming plans.<br/><br/>"Oh! Good thought! One sec.." I pull out my phone and shoot a quick text to Steffy. <br/><br/><em>##Rough night at the Horse.</em><br/><em>##At Jaclyn's relaxing and talking</em><br/><em>##Might stay here tonight, will let you know</em><br/><em>##Hugs and kisses! ~C-girl</em><br/><br/>"Okay, that's done. Peter Warcaof you said? Now <strong><em>that's</em></strong> name that rings a bell. I've heard Steffy mention him. He funds the CGDA right? Give him my thanks for that. Sounds like you two will be busy. Are you guys ... you know ... intimate?"<br/><br/>Jaclyn sets her glass down, and I down the rest of mine and follow suit. I then turn myself to face her, stretching my legs out a little bit, with the pillow now resting behind my back.<br/><br/>"There's uhh ... Well it's kind of a weird combination of too much going on, and not enough going on. You obviously know I'm working for Miss Kat, which is a good thing, by the way. She has her quirks, but she's pretty awesome. I don't know if you know, but I'm also a patient ... well sort of. I had my first appointment with her at Lacy, but haven't had one since it's destruction."<br/><br/>"That first appointment did wonders for me though, and for awhile I thought it was enough. As you saw tonight, clearly I have quite a ways to go." *frown*<br/><br/>"And it's not that I can't talk to Steffy about my problems, I do all the time. That's really the problem. It seems like that's all we talk about sometimes. It has to get old for her, and I don't want her to get sick of all my issues, you know. I like her Jaclyn, a lot. But how can she like me, when all I am is a basket case?"<br/><br/>With no glass to occupy my hands, I start fidgeting a bit. <br/><br/>"And how do I know that I don't just like her so much, simply because I have no other points of reference to compare her to? What if she's thinking the same thing? I told her how I felt once, and ... Well she didn't exactly reciprocate. And I really shouldn't expect her too, I know that. We haven't been together that long."<br/><br/>"It's incredibly hard not having any memories or stories to talk to her about. I'm pretty much a blank slate. How can Ste ... <strong><em>anyone</em></strong> fall in love with a blank slate‽" *sigh*<br/><br/>"It's the same thing with friends. What do I even talk about‽ That's why what you said at the bar hit me so hard ... Not your fault, by the way. It was sound advice."<br/><br/>"So yeah, that's brief version, believe it or not. Needless to say, I've booked myself for some appointments with Miss Kat. I haven't told her yet, though, heh heh."</span>
