She wasn't my favorite, but she wasn't my hell.

I’m Ellie, by the way.

I’m Jamie.

I’m not quite ready to be a working girl yet. I haven’t been back long enough to feel comfortable leaving my son, but good to know. My attitude probably wouldn’t allow me to last there too long, anyway. Kudos to you, are you a waiter? It’s nice to meet you… Unless we’ve met before. I don’t think I remember you, though.

I got off early. So what’s up?

Where do you work? I’m about to have to start job hunting. I’m Ellie, by the way.

I’m not sure I’m going to have much of a…

It's my favorite season. Spring and Autumn. They share similar attributes, such as the weather. Fall days are better than nights and spring nights are just a little better than the days. I haven't been this optimistic in years and it's strange considering I'm back where I started. I guess it's never too much to fix yourself and hope that it spreads along the town just a bit as well. And yes! He's getting so big, almost two and walking around everywhere. It'll be nice for him to do that outside. Job... I really should get one, it's just a lot to think about right this moment. Brooke? I like that name, I'm Ellie Pierce, it's nice to meet you.

I love the sunny day we’re having. If the wind would warm up a bit I’d be able to take Davis out to play.

I adore the spring when it hits the right temperature. It's perfect for going to the park or just about anything outside. Which could really be used in this house. My son and I both are getting stir crazy being stuck in here. It's almost unnerving to go out when the sun's hidden in this town.

Well doll, that’s not surprising. Until one of you would open up your mouth you’re the spitting image of one another. But…

I know she did. She fed off of anything dramatic. If she could work anyone up or get a rise out of any situation she would. You should have run off to France with me!

"Whan that Aprille, with hise shoures soote, The droghte of March hath perced to the roote And bathed every veyne in swich licour, Of which vertu engendred is the flour…" But that is much harder to understand. That would be nice, but hoping for the rebirth of this entire town might actually be way too optimistic. Still, it will be better than all this Winter.

I know better than to hope for a rebirth, but a little readjustment would be just fine. I’m so over this and I just got back.

Little bitch got in over her head.

Hopefully, for the sake of not only us but both of our children, they get this mess cleaned up real soon.

I do my best to just stand back and stay out of drama and everything that happens here.

I’m not sure I’m going to have much of a choice in the involvement of drama, even if I came here pretty baggage free.

Is it too optimistic to say it feels like Spring?

Absolutely not! I'm so excited. It's something to look forward to in this dreary place.

But anyway, I sure hope so. Their track record isn’t looking so hot. They definitely aren’t in charge here.

Little bitch got in over her head.

Mm, Yeah I've been hearing a lot of that lately. She was never my cup of tea, but I hadn't seen her in a while anyway.  Besides, I was referring to the aftermath. The... Incidents that have seemed to occur since. It doesn't seem you're too frightened at all. 

Chloe Pierce? Annie’s sister? She’s my cousin.

Oh yeah, that girl. I really don’t keep track with those things. Well then congrats for being here now.
