[ There's a small laugh. ] I'm sure Dad loves that.
[ The man considered most of her interests subpar from where he thought they should be, but it was mutual. Because she hated most of what he said and did, the unceasingly casual insults and caustic opinions. Holding ever out of reach anything so much as a 'Good job.']Well enough. You're lucky you caught me on a day off. I'm not always home at anything like regular hours. Bea's out for pretty much the exact reason — which you should know —
[ Flips mid-sentence while she's still mostly watching her toes curl in and out, in and out, press on the foam, then released, trying to figure out if this should feel weird or good. ] She can't stop talking about you now.
I think she had decided I was a single act with no guest appearances, and now, who knows. I think it's down to her selling tickets for your autographs out the front door or getting me to try and set you up with her.
