Season6: Eps5 - Sin in the City 5 (photo story)
Charley: *props elbows on the table, accidently jostling it, causing things to topple and fruit to roll, irritably* “Geez-frickin’-Louise!” *buries her face in her arms*
Molly: *makes her way to the fridge, opens it and grabs a couple of drinks, sets one down in front of Charley* “Here. Drink sumthin’ cold. It’ll make you feel better.”
Charley: *burrows deeper into her arms*
Molly: *sits down, cracking the seal on her water* “Charles, don’t sulk. That’s my niche in the group.”
Charley: *peeks out from her arms*
Molly: *rights most of the things askew on the table and throws a pinch of the spilled salt over her shoulder* “If you’re still ornery, go kick him in the nuts. By now, he’s feelin’ lower than a snake’s belly for everwhat he said to you, so reckon he’ll let you.”
Charley: *raises her head, whines* “I don’t wanna kick him. I wanna…I wanna…*exhales loudly* I don’t know what I wanna.” *opens her drink, motions jerky with frustration, and takes a swig*
Molly: “Watchin’ you two act this way wears me clean out, so I cain’t even imagine what it’s like to be livin’ it. See, this is why I keep sex an’ feelings separate. Less stress. Less mess.”
Charley: *rolls eyes, signs/says* “Molly, that’s just as screwed up…if not more.”
Molly: *shrugs* “So say you, but I hain’t the one who looks like a hound dog that’s just lost its favorite bone. Look, Charles…when you left for college, Diego pined for you. I know you’d always ask me how he was doin’, an’ I’d say fine, but that wadn’t strictly true. He loves you—more than I think you realize.”
Charley: *adjusts glasses, defensively* “He loves you, too.”
Molly (patiently): “Yes, but it hain’t the same kind of love. Love’s akin to snowflakes in a blizzard—there’s millions of ‘em, an’ hain’t none of ‘em exactly alike. But I reckon Diego knows me better than anybody, an’ I know him—which is why you need to listen to me, ya hear? I’m a-tellin’ you that he’s in love with you, an’ whether or not you want to return his kind of love is up to you…but it’s time you acknowledge the way he feels. It hurts him when you willfully ignore it. And I know he’s told you that he loves you. And I know you know he hain’t the type of man to admit that easily.”
Charley: *begins to raise her bottle to her lips, suddenly realizing her hand’s shaking, releases the bottle, curling her fingers under, head down*
Molly: *covers Charley’s trembling fist with her hand, squeezing it reassuringly* “It’s hard to remember, idn’t it? Even I forget sometimes, but he does have feelings. I reckon he feels things more keenly than most. He just don’t show it. After your dark spell, things were confusin’ for you, an’ he didn’t want to make it worse, so he gave you room to come into yer own. But staying away may’ve be one of the hardest things he’s ever done. He worried over you. He was so afeared you’d try again…an’ he wouldn’t be there to save you. *softly* We both worried about that, Charles.”
Charley: *voice choked, as she looks up at Molly* “I know.”
