It is sick, Wren. I’m really proud of you. 

What should we do to celebrate?

Oh, Wren. I’ve been waiting forever for you to ask me that. Yes, of course.

Yeah, I know. I know, man. Sorry again. That’s like AA 101 - don’t tempt your brothers in Christ or whatever. I might be making that up, but who cares. Any time you want to have clean fun, we can do that too. Corny, but I’ve been wanting to go paint-balling for a while. You into that?

You know Uncle Wren has an adorable ring to it! Moon’s really cute. I definitely see Colbie in him way more than Soren, but maybe something subtle of Soren’s like his nose or eyebrows or something. 

Yeah, yeah the beach sounds phenomenal actually. I miss hearing the waves whenever I want, so I wanna soak in as much as I can get before I have to go back. 

Well, that must mean we have a lot to see. 

Yeah, cool. More power to you, man. Sorry I even mentioned it in the first place. That was kinda shitty of me.

No, s’okay. It’s been a few years so people don’t really think about it anymore but it’s still hard for me. 

Awesome. Y’know, I’m still just thinking about it, but, I might become a sponsor. I’m doing good with my sobriety. I like us helping and being there for each other. I’m thinking it’d just be rewarding to help out another kid ‘er two. 

-

I’ve been doing good too. I’ve not used anything since I got to Nora’s. It’s been almost three years. Isn’t that sick?! My therapist told me to celebrate it. 

No, no. That’s perfect. She’ll love it. G'job. Hey, I’m thinking of hitting up a meeting tomorrow night. You want to come with me? 

-

Uh, yeah, I’d like that a lot, actually. 

Well, just ‘cause you come to Tiny’s doesn’t mean your sobriety gets shot. None of us peer pressure. We’re all grown-ups. Plus, I more just sell and supply the goods lately. I haven’t been partying as much. Growing up ‘er something. Can’t give up my weed or Addy’s yet, though, but yanno, that is what it is.

-

No, but it’s easier to say no to it from here than it would be there. I know I’m not strong enough to say no if I were there... So, I’m good from right here.

Mm, me too. 

I just had to get out of the city for a little while. Fashion Week is soon and I’m going to be so busy that I just wanted to decompress from school first before all the absolute chaos of it. My moms brand is doing this whole performance art thingy with splatter paint and human statues and Mick asked if I could help but I don’t–you know what? I came here to relax. Agh, take a breath, Win. What’s been going on with you?

Umm... Just uh, y’know, Soren and baby Moon and just... You know, forget what’s going on with me. You are here and that’s all that matters anymore.

Well that’s the last time I ever be nice.

You got better plans?

I am going to sit at home and keep my sobriety. Or go to a meeting where Grey and I pretend like we don’t know each other and then ride home in the same car. You should come some time. It’s loads of fun.

I missed you! You been getting into trouble without me around? 

-

No. No, of course not. 

You know that expensive skincare brand that she likes? I got her a whole gift set thingy they were selling at Sephora. Well, Colbie helped me pick it out actually. And then this necklace with our three birthstones on it. Thought it was a nice sibling thing, y’know. What about you? 

-

Oh, I got her that new camera lens she’s been talking about. 

Yeah. We’re throwing a New Years Eve party at Tiny’s. You and Winnie should come. 

That sounds like the most dreadful New Years Eve party I could possibly imagine. 

I found a real nice gift for Orion. Do you want to sign the card with me? I’ll make it from the both ‘a us.

Uh, no, I actually already got her something.... Wait... what did you get her? Cause I thought my gift was real nice, and I swear, if we got her the same thing, I’ll scream. 

Nope. Wasn’t me. Must’ve been the wind. 

Winnie! My girl!
