are you messing with me ? is this some kind of fucked up joke ? 'cause I checked yesterday... and that's not where I left your coat...
carys doesn’t know tara, not really. and yet, the word vomit simply cannot cease. she doesn’t really have anyone to talk to aside from a few people on the internet that she really doesn’t know. tara just so happens to be one of the poor, unfortunate souls that she happened to stumble into in real life; said soul who just so happened to be kind enough to initiate small talk with her.
carys, in her colorful striped sweater with a bow around her ponytail deceived many people into thinking that she was, indeed, normal—well, the folks who weren’t typically from around there, or the ones who didn’t really know of her, at least. she’d never seen tara before, but tara was nice—nicer than most of the people carys engaged with. she’d probably thought the small talk would start and end with a good book recommendation, but it had snowballed into carys oversharing and telling tara all about how at least when she was at work, she didn’t have her mother breathing down her neck—most times, anyway. it certainly didn’t stop her mother from trying to call or text at times, much to carys’ chagrin on the days where she forgets to mute her phone.
“ you should feel my heartbeat every time i hear my phone, ” she explains, maybe a little too animatedly, hand moving to her chest. “ i mean, i love my mom, really, but she just—she can be a bit much… ” it takes a few beats before carys realizes that she, too, happens to be ‘a bit much’; like mother, like daughter, she supposes.
embarrassment flutters across her features before she’s giving tara a way out of their, admittedly, mostly one-sided conversation.
“ but, uh—i’m sorry, i—i don’t mean to hold you up ! ”
