Do not tell
Do not confide
These longings can't be satisfied
This wave will wash out with the tide
These are feeling you've got to hide
(from "Side Show")I shouldn't have ever said anything. Life was fine before... I was fine before

Mims, nothing has changed, at least not for me.

[mias_practice]

Are you sure?

[nosaint_justme]

Absolutely sure, sweetheart.

[mias_practice]

Ok. *smiles* Thanks.

[nosaint_justme]

Don't worry about me, sweetheart, about us. I still love you just the same.

[mias_practice]

I can't help but worry about you. You're my brother you know.

[nosaint_justme]

Good then you can come to dinner with me next Sunday and help me fend off the Aunts. They've decided since I'm no longer a priest its time for me to get married.

[mias_practice]

And me coming is the best way to fend that off? Are these the same aunts who had our wedding planned within 2 minutes of meeting me?

[nosaint_justme]

Nope that was Kathleen and Elizabeth, I'm talking about Mary and Julia, Da's sisters. You remember, the two that warned you off because they still thought I should marry Siobahn?

[mias_practice]

Oh, them. At least I'll have the big old brace thing to fend off attacks.

[nosaint_justme]

"I don't think it'll come to that, but at least with you there they can't double team me." Tom laughed.

[mias_practice]

Mia chuckled. "Unless they've given up on Siobahn and decide to start in on me too."

[nosaint_justme]

Tom put up his fists like a prize fighter. "We can take 'em, Mims."

[mias_practice]

Mia laughed. "Probably. But other than the obsession with seeing you married off they didn't seem that bad."

[nosaint_justme]

"They aren't, just occasionally annoying." Tom chuckled.

[mias_practice]

Mia smiled. "So...who else should I be prepared for?"
