If I say yes then it might be. 

...Charlotte.

There bear is now Monica’s and Your son is terrible. So very, very terrible. 

Is it? You’re gonna have to be more specific, because Nathan’s pretty much grounded all the time now and I have a feeling you don’t mean him.

Okay. 

Are you sure everything’s okay?

I don’t…know, I just…I don’t know. But it’s been…it’s been months now, and it…it feels like people don’t really…need me anymore. Like they don’t…want me. And I know that’s stupid, but I…I don’t know, Daddy. It hurts, and I can’t make it stop.

I wouldn’t mind seeing him, but if he’s busy, it’s okay. 

I doubt that anything he could be doing would more important than you. Especially because all he’s probably doing is drinking or babysitting Damon.

The bear is mine. 

I just…I’m sad. And, I…I’m in pain…a lot of it. I don’t know how to fix it this time.

...What happened? Why are you in pain?

…Hi.

What’s wrong?

…You know, you’re not funny.

Oh come on, I’m hilarious.

It’s okay, Uncle Jeremy. 

Okay. If you change your mind, let me know. I can go drag him away from whatever it is he’s doing if you need me to.

Monica?

—The what?

The ‘Caroline Forbes has a plan and won’t quit without perfection’ look. I grew up around that look.
