Nothing like going to a day of construction work, then coming home, taking a shower, and leaving again to do... more construction work ( Read more... )

Renee is sitting on the chair, reading a magazine when he comes in.

She gives him a small smile.

"Hi David."

Great. Rebecca's not home, but her mother is.

David wonders if his horoscope for today involved the word "awkward."

"Renee," he says, politely. No sense in antagonizing somebody's mom.

resident_extras April 27 2006, 03:47:16 UTC

She nods and looks back down.

"And how are you?"

unavailable April 27 2006, 03:48:46 UTC

Fuck. Small talk.

"Can't complain," he says, and begins unpacking the window glass.

resident_extras April 27 2006, 04:07:46 UTC

She nods again. Good, good.

"How was the movie?"

unavailable April 27 2006, 04:09:22 UTC

"There was no movie," David says. He's measuring lumber for the frame.

resident_extras April 27 2006, 04:09:55 UTC

She looks up.

"Really."

"Not gonna say to you, in front of her, 'You walked in on us right as we were about to head to bed,'" David says, without a hint of embarrassment. "So I made some shit up about a movie, and we went back to my place."

resident_extras April 27 2006, 04:20:26 UTC

"Kind of figured."

If she's upset, she's hiding it very well.

unavailable April 27 2006, 04:21:56 UTC

David nods. He'd figured she'd figured. Why lie?

He starts putting together the new frame for the window. If nothing else, Rebecca and Yoko are getting a better-looking window out of the deal; the wood looks and smells like fresh pine.

There's a lull in the "conversation" that lasts about five minutes.

"Sorry about that, by the way. Didn't know she..."

She gesticulates vaguely with a hand. You know, did that. Here.

"Way I understand it," David says, "the root of the problem's that you don't know much of anything about her."

Hm. He sands a part of the frame smooth.

resident_extras April 27 2006, 04:33:55 UTC

Touches a bit of a sore spot, yeah, but the man was right. Can't fault him for speaking truth.

"Guess I don't."

unavailable April 27 2006, 04:35:47 UTC

That's going to lead to an uncomfortable lull in the conversation, but David doesn't see the need to fill it.

He continues fixing the window. It's something he can do on autopilot; it's getting done quickly.

resident_extras April 27 2006, 04:45:07 UTC

She shakes her head.

"She doesn't share much with me."

As if that explains it. Wow, awkward.

unavailable April 27 2006, 04:46:22 UTC

David nods, as he fits a pane of glass into one of the frames.

"She had to die to get you to get in touch," he says. "Might resent that a little."
