[skepticalities]

. . . hey.

[onlyoneof]

It's only Wednesday.

[skepticalities]

Yeah?

[onlyoneof]

... isn't it?

[skepticalities]

It is.

[onlyoneof]

Damn, I was hoping I'd skipped a day.

[skepticalities]

No such luck.

[onlyoneof]

[I'm gonna cling some more]

[skepticalities]

. . . what is it?

[onlyoneof]

I'm just tired.

[skepticalities]

And . . . clingy. Which isn't a complaint.

[onlyoneof]

Good. I'm not stopping.

[skepticalities]

. . . hey. I understand that you're tired and you're cranky, but I feel like you've been taking it out on me tonight. I'm not . . . trying to make things hard for you, you know?

[onlyoneof]

I know, I... the light thing. I could've woken up to you being a platypus, and I'd have known I could've prevented it. And it's-- I guess it's all adding up.

[skepticalities]

You had pain killers. If it had happened, I was prepared. It wouldn't have hurt, and I'm not just saying that to make you feel better. Okay? I'm an adult, Peter. I can be responsible for myself, especially when you're spread thin.

[onlyoneof]

I feel people keep underestimating me... not you. In general.

[skepticalities]

You don't have to prove anything to them. But . . . I think you know that already. It's still frustrating.

[onlyoneof]

Yeah. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lash out at you.

[skepticalities]

. . . it's okay. We're fine as far as I'm concerned.

[onlyoneof]

[and I'm still clingy]

Good.

[skepticalities]

And everything worked out okay with us. I'm all good.
