Nem sighed, only it was far more obvious this time. World-weary. Plain tired.
A slap would have been more entertaining. Warmer, too.
"Funny, seems like you think it's obvious only when I'm not diricawling at all," they said, shaking their head and giving up the stare as well. They folded their arms across their chest and slid down a little on the bench so that they were slouched. With their head tilted back, they directed that stare instead at the sky, and said wearily, "Forget it. You're not ready to hear it. There's no way you'd get it, not right now."
But, to prevent a classic Grantham strop, Nem did at least decide not to leave her hanging. She wanted something deep? They might be able to provide. Thing was, it was only deep in how much it lacked depth, and Nem knew that Bernadette Grantham simply did not have the insight required to understand it.
"You'll have to make do with this. It hardly measures up." They flicked a stray thread from their sleeve. "Right after me and Pax turned eleven, my parents sat us and our brothers down, told us they were having quadruplets. You know, I think that must have been the last time I cried." Oh, the trauma. Oh, the woe. "I swear to you, all Jake and Becca want to do is keep bringing more kids in, and good luck to the rest. As soon as he decides one's a lost cause they start trying to fill the position." Nem half-smiled to themselves. It was kind of funny when they thought about it like that.
