king of hearts;

I don't think brains are on the menu but I'll see what I can do.

Can I get you anything?

Hmm really? I can’t seem to remember that… All these meds they have me on must be making my head a little foggy. Maybe you should come back and jog my memory.

I think you have a selective memory but maybe this might remind you--

Yeah, nothing I've tried seems to work either. I think running just might make me even more tired and Caroline's still at the hospital. How are you though?

… Sleep?

Insomnia has gotten the better of me lately.

Alright that is it!

In my defense, I brought you food and flowers yesterday.

So, how have you been?

I've been better but I'm doing alright. How are you?

Huh. I don't think I've seen you around here before. How long ago was that? Sounds like I would remember it.

I’m doing okay. Just taking it one day at a time, you know? And you — how are things?

The same actually.

Don’t be — I mean, we’ve come to accept it and those who played a part in his death, payed the price. I was always fondest of Henrik; he was the youngest and I always felt the need to protect him, which I evidently failed to do in the end.

Yeah-- I know how you feel but there's just some things we don't have control over, I guess.

It was… interesting. I expected it to be a little more Mean Girls, but I won’t give up hope just yet.

Mean Girls? I think you've been watching too many movies.

That does sound about right but you would think that I would remember something. It must have been good if I don’t remember anything.

Ha, that's true.

Don't like it here?

I had a banging party last night? Well, that’s news to me.

House is dirty and you don't remember-- I think you did.

How the house got so dirty I'll never know.

What? You didn't invite me to your banging party last night?

Yeah, I won’t need dinner now. My eyes are bigger than my belly. Yes, but you can call me Ellie, if you want. 

Ellie, it is. My eyes are always bigger than my stomach-- especially if it's free.
