So is that a yes?

Mm.

Will?

Okay, fine. I’ll open it.

Okay.

You’re not going to get me to make your life easier in this subject. I’m a firm believer of picking your own demons, and the fear of striking out shouldn’t let you from playing the game. Yes, thank you for introducing the twins to Hilary Duff, too. Open it.

Or you could open it and make sure there are no paper cuts for me to have.

What are you so afraid of?

Both?

Or, you could open it while I watch that you don’t get any paper cuts from doing it.

Also, nice Gilmore Girls reference. Endearingly appropriate. Thank you.

You got that in the mail today. I think you know better than to try and make x-ray vision work. Dawson, were you looking for moral support or someone to open it for you? Because that constitutes a felony in this country.

It’s just…I’ve lived in the same town all but two weeks of my life. I’ve been in the same class with mostly the same people since preschool. I was getting used to the idea of college in Cali - the warm weather and the sunshine - but now I don’t know. Does that make sense?

Are you talking about a sabbatical or going somewhere closer to what you consider home to be? Even Rory’s plans changed, once she took a good look at them.

Just…distance and change. It’s going to be so different. Does it worry you?

I’ve been ready to be on my own since my 12th birthday. There’s not so much in me that change could affect. Why are you concerned?

Nothing’s wrong. I was just thinking about school.

What kind of thoughts were those?

Sure. I was only sorting clothes. Is something wrong?

There’s more you can do with your birthday in a warm month but my birthday sometimes also becomes mother’s day. Plus, the last few birthdays haven’t been all that awesome so maybe changing the date would change my luck.

I’ve never been big on celebrating it, honestly. Not since I’ve been old enough to decide for myself. The day becomes worse when you’ve got greater expectations for it. You’re only setting yourself up for disappointment.

The weather plays a large part in it. It’s my favorite time of the year. Not too warm and not too cold, the leaves are changing…

May is not so awful. I prefer the colder months, myself. You know how metallic parts and sun don’t feel so comfortable after a while. I’d rather brave my chances against snowfall.

I think I’d pick a day in September. Late September.

Are you still talking about your zodiac, or is there any other specific reason for it? The weather, perhaps?
