Anne Gillette

Cat fights? Excuse me?

I don’t know who you think you are to accuse me of such childish behavior, when it was definitely not me playing the victim when accused of adultery. Surely, you wouldn’t find it pleasant having to escape with a newborn, would you?

I’m more than happy to be back, especially since people love slandering the Gillette name.

I'm sorry that I didn't wait by the door for your return- I didn't think you wanted me anymore. That you didn't want me in you and your daughter's life.

It's- It's good to see you back and healthy, Anne.

Hello there dearest,

I know it has been far too long since we’ve last spoken and I apologize for my absence, but motherhood has been quite stressful, even for a woman like me. I do hope some people stuck around and waited for my return, and if that is the case, I will gladly make a comeback, seeing as I am the only useful person around here.

Oh @askmommysherman, dear, I have hardly met a person as devoted as you are. The drama put quite a lot of stress on me and I have spent the first two trimesters by myself, but there is no one I would rather spend my last trimester with.

Be warned that if you decide to be a part of my baby’s life, you do not get to come and go as you please. If you are going to be a parental figure, I need you to be here. A rock. A constant.

I’ve missed you too, darling. Come home.

I- I wouldn't dream of leaving you or your baby's life again. I'm- I'm looking forward to being there for you both. I won't leave.

I'm on my way, Annie. I'm on my way.

I can’t wait for you to see my baby bump, it’s grown so much.

Oh Annie, I'm so excited. I can't wait. Is our baby a restless one? Oh I can't believe I missed out on so much... The first kick... God Annie. I won't leave again.

Yes, it is quite fascinating how active the baby has been in the past few weeks. Once you’re here you’ll get to feel for yourself.

You can’t leave me again Diane, you can’t leave us again.

Since I had no one or celebrate a proper gender reveal with, I decided I am throwing one for you. Just the two of us, a rooftop restaurant and a little surprise.

I'm on my way, Annie. I'm on my way.

Ms. Venable, please, we have had quite a few business calls together, you can call me Anne. Thank you for congratulations, the desire to have a child was quite sudden and I am known for rather.. impulsive decisions, but this is by far the best I have made so far. This baby is truly everything I have ever wanted. On another note, it is pretty interesting who sticks with you through this process, and who decides to.. leave. Some problems solve themselves. I could not be doing any of this, if I did not have Diane as wonderful godmother by my side.

Preferred beverage? Cranberry juice perhaps, or peach iced tea. A true Gillette is never going to turn down a gift offer, I would never expect less than top quality from you.

Mhm.. I have heard you can be quite impulsive. My apologies about the tragic demise of your parents.

Yes, situations can reveal people's true colours, so to speak. It's unfortunate that you have lost so many people that you thought you could trust, from what I've heard anyway.

Ah yes... Ms. Sherman, she's quite wonderful. A mother who would stop at nothing to be there for her daughter, be glad she's there for you rather than against you.

I will see to it that I make sure I have the best quality cranberry juice, and peach ice tea for you when I deliver the gifts. Maybe meet this Diane Sherman seeing as she seems so important to you. Still trying to live up to the Gillette name, Anne? I thought you were past that. Nevertheless, see you shortly.

It’s hardly unfortunate, I don’t want to be surrounded by filth and pathetic excuses of human beings. I have much better to do, I feel like you would agree.

Diane is truly wonderful, and I am grateful to have her by my side. If she’s not too busy, she might make it to Manhattan before you leave.

I am past it, yet I still have a reputation to keep up.

What would you like to eat? I’ll have the chef prepare something for us.

My my, Anne darling, that's a rutheless statement if there ever were one. But yes, I do agree.

I'll see if I can stick around then, Anne.

Make it your own reputation rather than building from a shadow of theirs. One leads to misery, the other leads to success. Choose carefully.

Is this turning into a date, Anne? Nevertheless, I'm fond of Salmon, we can discuss what else I'm fond of later.

How about you join us for dinner tonight then, Wilhemina? My chef has purchased some fine salmon he will prepare for us tonight.

A date? Aren’t you rather bold dear? It can be anything you want it to be.
