Viv wasnβt thinking about Ray, or really Hayley either, just this moment with Georgie. They had spent a lot of time together at first trying to get to know each other, and she really missed it. Her mind wouldnβt get off of how wonderful Georgieβs parents were, and it made her think of what her father might be doing. Sometimes, when she was really lonely, they would have a quick chat. It was always short, because as soon as he would mention her trying to come home at least for him, Viv would always make an excuse to end the call. But part of her wondered what he would think of Georgie. Viv didnβt think she would ever get the courage to face her mom again, but it was almost nice to think of seeing her father or her brothers again, if only for a day or two.
Georgieβs admission of what happened with Hayley caught her by surprise, making her set her drink down and turn fully to Georgie. βIβm sure it was nothing you did, G,β Viv replies, trying to make Georgie feel better more than anything. It made sense why Georgie had gotten a bit tense after taking that call during dinner. Viv wanted nothing more than to make Georgie feel better, even though part of her was happy that Hayley that ended things. She felt bad for feeling like that, because it didnβt make Georgie feel good and nothing changed for Viv. She wasnβt really trying to figure out her feelings for Georgie, she had accepted they were there and then pushed them back in knowing that Georgie and Hayley were casually dating.
βHey, why donβt we throw another party soon? With the holidays coming up, we can invite whoever we want and have a good time again,β Viv offers, feeling the wine a bit more and pouring another glass now that sheβs already drinking. She was already planning it in her head, even though Georgie hadnβt given her a proper answer yet. βI think itβd be so fun. We can dress up and get lots of champagne,β Viv adds with an excited grin. She was determined this time to spend a lot of time with Georgie and make sure that they could enjoy the party together.
