Viva La Vida

Jay: [smile] Love you too. Straight vodka? or do you want a mix?

Hunter: it's over Seb is gonna quit. We had a huge fight and I feel it in my bones

Hunter: Pray for him, Jay. And our stock price. I'm really worried about him but he's too damn proud and he hates me rn

Jay: What? What happened?

Jay: He doesn't hate you...should I call him?

Hunter: This analyst screwed something up and Seb overreacted and I called him on it and he blew up at me and I lost my temper. What it comes down to it is he hates this work, this post-IPO work that has to get done and he's taking it out on little things and taking it out on people. He left because he couldn't take it anymore and he couldn't admit it to Rob. But I don't know if he hates it just because it's the first time he's done it or because I'm there or if he just just hates the work and never will.

Hunter: Italy is booked :D

Jay: Really? For what?

Zelda: I never said you did.

Zelda: Set up an appointment.

Zelda: Go for it.

Hunter: Okay, glass eating fest, here we come.

Hunter: You want me to go with you, for the first visit or anything?

Hunter: You want a woman or man? 30 something or 50 something or what age, racial preference? Seb's got a hot black therapist about our age (maybe a little older) you might like. Doesn't push too hard, isn't too fluffy, asks the hard questions but isn't an ass about it.

Zelda: I'd rather eat glass.

Zelda: If I go to the damn therapist will you leave me alone about seeing her?

Hunter: I never promised you that all of life would be fun

Hunter: Yeah, for the time being.

I….don’t even know what to say right now. I knew she didn’t want to move here but I really thought she would have adjusted better.

She’ll be okay, most of us went through a bitter teen phase.  Seb was a nightmare after he had to move to Ohio from Paris, this isn’t that different and you’re miles better than his mom or dad was.  Girls are so much more dramatic than boys, too, from what folks say. I would talk to her, though.  Let her know you are empathetic, maybe slip in a good word for me but tell her she doesn’t have to love me or whatever. 

Zelda’s been negative like that since she Ainsely left, was Scarlett always like this? Maybe she misses Pauline.

I’m guessing this is not making you want to have a baby with me?

Zelda: No. Can't risk it. No. No. Nope.

Hunter: your mom is wondering when she can see you again.

Zelda: Never?
