Need to Lie Here, Need to Leave - Chapter 3: Crooked as a Crow

exerpt:

Feeling a little more in his element, Marty walks up and asks, “Are you Thomas Beauchard?”

The boy startles briefly, and dark, wary eyes meet his. In a surprisingly feminine lisp, he replies, “Occasionally, why?”

“Just hoping to ask a couple questions about a childhood friend of yours.” Marty leans against a stool, cool.

At that, Thomas (he assumes) drops the box and grins. “That's a hell of a line, stud. How many boys that worked on?”

i like to think that marty made sure to check in with rust to make sure that he's good & that he's not alone. and the fact that rust's outlook on life changed in that he has hope for the future for the first time since his daughter died.... because of this i think that rust's insight and introspection on all matters of the universe would definitely (continue to) have a positive impact on marty, since marty clearly struggles with that kind of thing.

plus, since marty's relationship with his daughters is fractured due to his infidelity to maggie, he is also a deeply lonely person who needs support.

Need to Lie Here, Need to Leave: Chapter 2 - Paul Boisvert

Excerpt:

The woman who greets them is a good foot shorter than them both, about his age, short brown hair and narrow reading glasses perched on a nose shaped exactly like the fleur de lis.

“Oh good lord,” she says at the sight of their sogginess. “Get on in here ‘fore you wash away. I’m’onna get a towel for ya.”

“We’d appreciate that.”

“I wanna drink your words like wine..”
