I know that real daughter beats self-proclaimed daughter, but your motherly love has been severely needed. You could’ve told me to sleep with less people, and focused on important things… like my career. Honestly, I haven’t gotten around this much since… ever. See what happens when you leave for a couple of weeks? Inhibitions… gone. Basically non-existent. If there’s anyone you need to fight, it’s probably me. I’m the something that needs fixing.

Here’s every ounce of it I’ve got. I’m going to need you to back up and slow down, so I can understand what’s been going on. Begin at the beginning. What have you been doing, and why do you regret it? I’m going to tell you right now that I’m all about female sexual liberation. It’s not personally my thing, but I definitely don’t judge others for it. It strikes me, though, that it’s not really your thing either. So . . . why are you doing it if it’s making you uncomfortable? No, no. I won’t fight you. Talk through it with me.

rach: hi, you came to mind, so i figured i'd reach out to you and see how you're doing.

danna: ay he did? that's so sweet of him!

danna: it was so stressful to tell you the truth, all the planning and then the flowers and getting the dresses on time? could not do it as a career i'll tell you that much

danna: come on, if i got dylan to dance i'm sure it would have been no problem for you!

rach: he absolutely did; i figured you'd want to know!

rach: i can't even imagine the half of it. serious props to you for putting it all together and making all the moving parts work seamlessly. you're as good as a pro, let me tell you.

dyl: That's exactly what I was gonna say. I guess you're not too far gone to realize that yet, so there's a chance to still save you.

dyl: How do you feel about exorcisms?

dyl: More importantly, how would you feel about me performing one on you?

rach: luckily you've got rachel today, and not the demonic soul.

taron: significantly more to say?

taron: well now i'm anxious to not only see you again, but to hear what has to be said.

taron: because I think I've got quite a lot to say too.

rach: don't be too anxious. i wouldn't want it eating you up in the meantime. besides, it's nothing but good things. and maybe a few roasts that i need to get off my chest.

dyl: I'm just going to cause you to panic more but hear me out...

dyl: I think this could be a possession.

dyl: You read that right. I think you're possessed.

rach: must be that new soul i acquired.

dyl: It's less rational for you to reach out to ME of all people for confirmation. If you think getting a diagnosis from web MD is scary, wait until you hear the one I give you.

taron: a darling mess it is then.

taron: I look forward to another morning like that again sometime.

taron: of course only if that is a mutual feeling.

rach: hopefully one that’s a little less painful, though. aside from that, me too.

taron: you wish.

taron: oh sod off, it's beyond darling. Woke up to you looking like a damn princess.

taron: oi and it's not like I woke up looking any better either, you could almost visually see the amount of drinks I had just in my face.

rach: really hate that i couldn’t pull that one over you.

rach: i believe a mess is the correct term here. but whatever you say.

taron: already crossed

taron: no it makes sense because i thought the same of you, messy mop and all 😉

taron: not mention the slight smudge of mascara. Just darling.

rach: pics or it didn’t happen.

rach: at least now you know that it takes hours for me to look even remotely presentable for these things. my natural form is much less graceful.

taron: I've got my fingers crossed.

taron: I'm surprised seeing me half asleep and hungover didn't completely put you off.

taron: i'm still baffled how you even managed to wake up after a night out of drinking and still look gorgeous? black magic.

rach: cross your eyes, too. then we’ll talk.

rach: you’re so frustrating, you know?

rach: half asleep, hungover you is endearing. a little crabby and mopey, but endearing nonetheless. and oddly cute. i didn’t particularly like that you were feeling miserable, but i DID appreciate seeing more of you than just...what i’d grown accustomed to, if that makes sense?

taron: honestly any excuse to see your face

taron: i'm so glad its mutual, i was worried I was the only one.

taron: that or i was the only one who remembered it

rach: maybe i’ll cave.

rach: none of that is even remotely possible.

taron: naturally 😉

taron: well now I'm just getting upset I'm not seeing this over facetime, whether I end up rambling or not

taron: nothing makes me happier than seeing you smile.

rach: suddenly, i’m glad we’re not on facetime. you really want it both ways, don’t you?

taron: I don't doubt that in the slightest, we talk about how lame you are all the time

taron: i promise i'll be sober for the conversation too but i can't promise i'll be able to get a sentence out

taron: because the things you do to me naturally just always make me look like a fool. You're something else.

rach: i knew there was a reason why she’s been getting so mouthy.

rach: we can muddle through it together; it’s alright.

taron: as if us not talking over facetime is going to stop you from doing that.

taron: Of course I am. Will I be able to recognise her or is she practically ready to send off to uni?

taron: How about I stop in NY, treat you both to a night out and we can both further discuss these...feelings?

rach: you caught me. i can't really argue with the truth.

rach: oh, it's definitely the latter. i swear, she beats me in cool points by miles these days.

taron: oh you would have just loved to hear me stutter wouldn't you?

taron: well i'll have you know, i haven't left to Wales yet...and it also has been a while since I've seen Val.

rach: actually, yes. then, i would've happily rubbed in your face how much of an idiot you are.

taron: I just want to express my joy that we aren't facetiming right now because I would be babbling and stumbling over my words like a damn fool.

taron: here i thought you only pretended to like me.

taron: on a very real note, I think this definitely means I need to see you again. soon.

rach: this probably would've been a conversation best had on facetime, but i'm glad we're having it, regardless.

rach: shut up. 🙄
