fast man.

I can only imagine, considering how quickly you spilled your Marvel secrets to me, I had a feeling it would be a bit difficult. Oh, you’re so kind, comprising and all. I’m one lucky lady! I would expect nothing less, Baby Peters says no to the spooky announcement as well. So it’s two against one. Ev, I’ll kick your ass, I’ll do it!

I can’t help it! When I’m excited I want to tell everyone and you know how excited I am about this. I know, I’m such a good husband but that’s only because you’re the best wife so I have to keep up with you. All these compliments doing anything for you? I promise, I’ll behave. I won’t mention ghosts or demons and it’s not because I’m scared you’ll kick my ass. I’m too fast I could easily evade you.

i’ve decided to give you the chance of breaking the news, considering i got to be the first one to spill about us getting married. thought i’d play fair– no spooky ghost references either or i’m hunting you down. @evantptrs​

Oh, thank God. Do you know how hard it’s been to not say anything to anyone yet? Fine, okay, no spooky ghost references but I hope you know I’m only listening to you because you’re pregnant and I love you. You never said anything about demons, though. Just remember that.

I don’t know if I’d call it luck so much as you claimed him and threatened everyone. But you know what? I’m feeling nice today so I’ll let you have it. Aw, thanks! Means a lot to know I can count on you for this midnight ice cream runs. I’m sure Jade will enjoy knowing she can sleep through the night now too. Oh right, right. I forgot for a second that you played a ghost. Silly me. You’re right, you’ve got serious pull and I trust you completely with this mission. I mean living on an island is bound to get boring at some point, right? I feel bad for whoever our first victim is. I think she already knows, but I promise to not confirm anything to her at this time. I am so obsessed with Colin Zabel, you caught me. You make the best detective.

You gotta respect the hustle, Pez. That’s the only way you can get through to people sometimes. Oh, shush. You’re always nice to me. I’m your favourite person — you can deny it but we both know it’s true. I barely sleep anyway so a little midnight store run for your pregnant ass is nothing. Gotta look after my bestie and make sure Jade gets her sleep so she isn’t grumpy. Is there anyone on the island we don’t like? We’ll make a list and then when we’re bored we’ll go through it and have a little murder here and there. Thank you, I needed that to keep my ego maintained. Also, congrats on making history with that Brit win. I celebrated with a glass of wine for you.

What a talented tortious you’ve found. I’m just glad it falls on him to run the place if you die. You know, with the baby on the way I just don’t think I’ll have time to ever be a business owner. Oh my god, yes. We need to meet up with Aubrey and learn how to befriend the ghosts. I’m sure one of them is dying to get out of the cave and have some fun at the arcade. It does make sense. I mean you’re in a cult with the same people day in and day out, right? The only way to have any fun is to throw in the occasional murder. I would trust anything you say, I blindly support my best friends. It really does, and you can’t afford to lose any points, Evan. You know how many people want this number one spot? To be tied with Jade is an honor. Okay, fine. I admit that I only watch it for you. Kate’s cool and all, but you’re the star of the show. 

I really lucked out on finding a good tortoise. I knew he was better than all the rest. Speaking of the baby, I’m so stoked for you! I know you have Jade to help but if you ever need anything I’m just a call away. Even if you need someone to run to the store at like midnight to get you some ice cream or something, I gotchu. Pfft, we don’t need Aubrey. You’re talking to a ghost expert here. Once you play a ghost you automatically know everything about them. I’m pretty big in the ghost community. Exactly! We have to have a little murder here and there to spice things up. I’ll never do anything to jeopardize my number one spot. Just don’t tell Jade she has to share it with me because she might try and kill me off. I knew it. You’re totally obsessed with Colin Zabel. I make a good detective, right?

I would never ask to murder you. Who will run the store if you’re dead? Me? No thanks. I’ll have to grab Jade and skip town if I ever murder you. I don’t know that I want to murder anyone at all yet, but if the urge strikes I’ll let you know. We can be a murder cult, I guess. Aw, you have? That’s so sweet. I can’t wait to tell the girls that you’re our number one fan. Oh come on, you can’t take it back now. 

Sheldon would obviously run the place if I died. Or I’ll run it in my ghost form. I’m sure if there’s a ghost running our place it’ll attract more customers. We should look into that. I’m okay with being a murder cult if we need to be. Let’s be honest, all cults end up being murder cults eventually. As the cult expert, you can trust me on this. I know all the facts. Does it score me friendship points if I don’t take it back? I won’t take it back if you admit that you only watch Mare of Easttown for me.

Okay good. I was fully prepared to lay on the water works if you said I couldn’t be friends with him. I’m going to go tell the whole world just how lucky I am. Is that why our songs are always playing when I come to work? Was beginning to think you’d become obsessed with me or something. Good to know it’s just Sheldon missing me. 

If I say no to you then you can disown me. Unless you’re asking if you can murder me or something then that’s a solid no. I draw the line at my murder but if you want to murder someone else then I might be on board. Totally Sheldon. Not me at all, pfft. It’s not like I’ve woke up every morning for the past week with Confetti stuck in my head. Gross. What even is a Little Mix? 

I know you’re telling everyone they can’t be friends with Sheldon but I get a pass, right? I mean we’re cult leaders and best friends at this point so I feel it’s only fair that I get to hang out with him at least during work hours. @evantptrs​

Well, duh! As if I wouldn’t share him with my favourite. You’re the only one that can be friends with him. Please brag to everyone about it — let them know you’re the chosen one. Besides, I’ve heard he’s a big Little Mix fan. He’s even demanded I play Little Mix in the arcade and who am I to argue.

The denial had been strong. Taissa had allowed it pass day after day, truly believing that even the slightest bit of relief was an instant alleviation. This had continued in a cycle up until their trip, which only seemed to press on and on, until she finally tried to accept that perhaps the brushing off was unwarranted. That it was certainly something to look into. Still, says had passed until she finally gave into the temptation of knowing. But when an entire day of nauseous had nearly taken her out, she’d dismissed herself and chose to finally seek the answers that were bothering her.

Her husband’s voice echoing through the door. Aware that her lack of returning was absolutely a cause for concern but instead, she sat in the cool tiled floor just shy of the sink. Her blonde hair pulled back as deep brown eyes remained on the small stick, it’s positive results having just finished the elapsed time. Taissa, shakily, had rose to her feet, the click of the door handle sounding as she turned it. Closing the distance between her and Evan, she held the test firmly in her fist. “I did two of them— just to be sure.” A pause, a bright smile present. “They’re both positive.”

As worried as he was he knew that if there was something seriously wrong she’d come and tell him. They were pretty open with each other especially after Evan had his little breakdown weeks ago. They had nothing to hide from each other so that thought calmed him down a little. So, he sat there as patiently as he could trying not to stress himself out.

A run on the beach sounds like an absolute dream, mate. I bet you had such a peaceful time by yourself, nothing there to bother you and all the quiet you could ask for? Sounds like a dream. Does the tortoise have a name because if you didn’t give it an awesome name then I’m going to be very disappointed in you.

It was so nice, man. Definitely needed, too. I think I’m adding a beach run to my daily routine now. It’s so much more peaceful than taking a run in LA. I feel like I can actually hear my own thoughts now without a bunch of bullshit drowning them out. He’s called Sheldon because... he has a shell. Super clever, I know.
