[notdaredevil]

Well, you can tell her that when we go, I guess.

[glassbox]

Maybe I will. She is my second favorite redhead.

[notdaredevil]

You don't say. Who's the first?

[glassbox]

Y'know exactly who, mister.

[notdaredevil]

I only have your word it's still red, dear.

[glassbox]

It's still red. I still love it.

[notdaredevil]

Good thing, too, since you're stuck with it at this point.

[glassbox]

Stuck with you or stuck with the hair? 'Cause I could think of ways t'fix the second thing.

[notdaredevil]

That's not going to happen.

[glassbox]

Y'wouldn't even know the difference.

[notdaredevil]

No, I wouldn't be able to see the difference. It's not the same thing.

[glassbox]

Y'really feel that strong about it, huh?

[notdaredevil]

It's my hair, and it's enough of a hassle to deal with blind already.

[glassbox]

[ It's clearly teasing when she answers: ]

Well, I'm the one that's gotta look at it. An' y'know I'm gonna be comparin' y'to Kate the whole party.

[notdaredevil]

That doesn't sound very nice for Kate.

[ Oh the ego. ]

In all seriousness, you came to Thanksgiving with me at my friend's, so I wanted to let you make this call.

[glassbox]

That's sweet, hon. I don't mind goin'. Might as well -- y'probably got more friends left 'round here than I do, anyway.

[notdaredevil]

Not many friends without baggage.

[glassbox]

Everybody's got baggage, sweetheart. Ain't any avoidin' that.

[notdaredevil]

Baggage I don't remember, Lil.

[glassbox]

Like what?

[ A beat, before she goes on: ]

Does it even matter?

[notdaredevil]

I wish I knew.

[ And then, recognizing what they might be skirting, he carries on with a forced casualness, brushing it aside: ]

It's not worth worrying about, anyway.

[glassbox]

Guess not.

[ Maybe she senses the shift in subject. But maybe she'd rather not fight over the phone -- for once. ]

D'you think it's weird, goin' t'stuff as a couple now?

[notdaredevil]

Why on earth would it be weird?

[ There's a leap in logic if he's heard one. ]

[glassbox]

I dunno. My husband wasn't really in t'socializin'. We definitely didn't go t'parties together.

[notdaredevil]

I think that makes him weird, Lil, not us.
