Scooting up as silently as she can behind @BackedUpStark, R abruptly wraps her arms around her lady’s legs. The blonde is delightfully naked, à la Governor Lachlan’s new laws regarding public nudity in New York State.

“Babe, I have ideas for my birthday party.”

@R "Oh, hi! I missed you. Sorry I've been... Out of it. After everything that happened, I didn't really have time to adjust to being... This again. Well. Close enough.

Sooooo much therapy."

@BackedUpStark “Speaking of which, I saw Kirby at the group PT session. She’s having trouble adjusting to being an amputee. We commiserated over our respective plights and she felt better. I’m… not used to connecting with people like that, babe. But it feels good. Really good.”

@R "I... I'm familiar." N winced.

"After...

After Sarah was born. My daughter." She took a breath. "Steve and I ended up on the wrong side of eachother. Sarah died. I had to kill Steve. I died. I became this.

But when he first left. When that betrayal first set in.

I lost everything. I lost everyone. I was alone.

And then there was Jess.

We pulled eachother up.

Just like you and I are doing, now.

Humans are meant to be social, Rebecca.

It just is the way it is."
