How good are you at peeling potatoes?

[endof_theline]

Very good, actually.
Used to help my ma with the potato peeling every day, back in the day.

[captaincrashout]

Then putting you in the corner to peel and dice should be simple enough. Good, that'll let me focus on everything else.

[endof_theline]

In the corner, huh?
Sure, I'd like to help.

[captaincrashout]

Then I'll grab you at five thirty. It'll take awhile to get everything together and we can talk at the same time.

[endof_theline]

Good. Great.
Thanks for. Dinner. I'm thanking you before we've even had it. Sorry. I suck at this.

I'm looking forward to it, though.

[captaincrashout]

Bucky, I've dated all of ONE person in my entire life, and Lemar had to tell me she was asking me out.

You're doing great, is what I mean.

[endof_theline]

In that case- you're doing great too.
Look at us go.

[captaincrashout]

Being forthright about flirting and stuff.

I'm gonna call this an improvement. I gave Liv flowers on our first date because I thought that's what you did.

[endof_theline]

Being forthright. I can't believe we're doing it.

[Is this what all the tension was about? Probably.]

It is what you do.... it's what I do. It's old fashioned, huh.

I went on one date when I got back, and I brought her flowers. I think she compared me to her dad.

[captaincrashout]

That's what I said!

So- on that note... do you have a favorite flower? For...no reason.


Obviously.

[endof_theline]

Guess we're both old fashioned, then.

I- don't. I've never been the one receiving them. I think any would be nice, though.

[captaincrashout]

It made sense to me, kinda. Lemar's parents were big on that.

Guess I'm getting creative, ok.

[endof_theline]

Lemar's parents were big on being old fashioned? Wait... were the two of you...

I'm not picky, John. You could pick a daisy off the side of the street and I'd be happy.

[captaincrashout]

No- I mean. Maybe? I don't-

I didn't realize I felt that way about him until it was too late.

His parents did more modeling of what a healthy relationship looks like than my own. So. I know what not to do from my family. And what to do from theirs.

[endof_theline]

[ He wants to ask about Olivia, but it doesn't feel like the time or place. ]

I'm sorry. I know how terrible of a feeling that can be.

Were you close with them too?

[captaincrashout]

...yeah. They, um. They think I did the right thing. Kept reaching out to check on me while I was working for Val. They're Lemar's godparents, Liv's close with them too.

They're helping her out with our son while this is all happening.

I've sort of lost touch. Couldn't take the guilt. Told them Nico was the one that killed their son, so...

[endof_theline]

You gave them closure, John. Sometimes when there's nothing else you can do, that's the most important thing.

No reason for them to suffer any more than they already had, you know?

Maybe you can reconnect with them eventually.

[captaincrashout]

...I've been telling myself Olivia needs them more right now. Especially since I- yeah.

[endof_theline]

Right now, maybe. But you need your people too. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

[captaincrashout]

...I'll think about it.

do you wanna timeskip from here?

[endof_theline]

Good. Sometimes that's the most important first step.

So. See you for dinner date prep tomorrow?
