190. Saying what actually is on her mind.

You know, I really wish that people didn't know so much about my sex life, not because I'm at all ashamed of it, but because I find it awkward and I don't want people to think of me like that

I hope for that too, Martha. It would be nice to be able to relax for once.

And I like you. I don't have a lot of real friends here--people I can always trust--but you're one of them.

[thegooddrjones]

It would be, as much as we can relax here.

[Private]
I like you too. And I trust you, and I worry about you.

Also I really like the purple hair. Your conversation with Sev made me consider dyeing my whole head purple, but I expect it would only make my issues worse.

[goodgrasshopper]

You don't need to worry about me--I'm doing all right. [Mostly. Ish. Except kind of not.]

Thank you--I like it, too. And I'm happy to dye it for you--I can get the temporary stuff for you. Like that time we did pink. That was fun.

I want to believe you, but I don't, but I'll try to give you a bit of space for a while.

It was fun. Remember when we did green? He liked the green. It actually helped us a lot when I showed up like that after my hen night.

That was a rough week. I thought our marriage was to be over almost before it began.

[It is almost three in the morning, what are you still doing up, lady? :|]

[Wry smile.] Would I lie about that?

I remember the green--and we can definitely do that again if it will be better on your marriage than the pink. It looked good on you.

[thegooddrjones]

Of course you would. I lie about being fine often. It makes people believe that I'm calm and that nothing ever bothers me.

Thank you. I think it looked good on me too, even if it made people respect me less as a doctor. Right now, however, I don't believe that matters because the people who don't respect me aren't going to respect me what I do anyway.

[goodgrasshopper]

...Sometimes, I think you know me way too well. You know you can always talk to me if something's bothering you, though, right?

Pfft. I don't think the color of your hair has anything to do with what kind of a doctor you are. If people don't like it? Screw them.

[thegooddrjones]

I know, but I often feel like people won't be my friends anymore if I don't put up a good facade or if I tell them how bad I'm really doing they'll think less of me. So I probably won't but I'll really want too.

Oh, they'll find something to complain about me about. They always do.

[goodgrasshopper]

You're allowed to be not okay sometimes. Your real friends would want to help you through it. I know I would.

Yeah, well, the people around here seem to like to bitch, don't they?

[private]

[thegooddrjones]

Thank you, Molly. I know you mean that.

And they certainly do.

[private]

[goodgrasshopper]

Yeah, I really do.
