this morning #2069.
this morning, she knew that he was stalling but didn’t have the energy to call him out. not now. he thought that he was super clever by affecting a comical southern drawl. stereotypical foghorn leghorn. part distraction. part a way to slow down his thoughts. give him enough time to formulate another half-assed lie. this friggin’ guy. king of the insincere improv. he’d rather try to trick you than admit that he’s done wrong. still, the ridiculous accent wasn’t NOT charming. it was charming enough to give him basis to believe that it’d work. when he’d finished his explanation, he was proud as a peacock. she accepted it. got ready for work. put her real reaction in her back pocket & left it there all day. brought it back out during dinner.
