it was after dinner. my daughters and their friends were upstairs shawn, cory and leo were out front topanga was somewhere angela was in the living room and lily and I were talking in the kitchen.
"so um," I began, "ariel said shawn had already had 4 drinks?"
"yeah," lily said from her spot at the kitchen table: "and he drank last nigght too. The war it gets to him. Which I get but I...i don't like. If i'dknown how this was going to turn out I wouldn't've let him go."
"oh wow. Is that why ariel has that...?" I motioned around my eye.
"yeah. And that's why jasmine's scared of him."
"oh um wow. I thought jasmine was living in germany."
"well she was for a bit. But then they moved here and angela moved back. So it was just jasmine and shawn. Legally um jasmine's not allowed to live by herself yet."
"you grew up w/ that," sierra said coming into the kitchen.
We looked at her.
"sorry I just. I was somewhat there," she said.
"yeah maybe I have an elektra complex," lily said.
"um. Maybe."
"I'd rather have shawn drink alone in his room or hell even at a bar then...at the house."
"has he ever. Hurt her other than...like physically?" I asked.
"i um no."
"ok if he ever does..."
"i'll tell you yes I know."
"ok."
