Viv was lost in her thoughts, mainly giving Georgie some time to talk to her dads if she needed to, and jumped a little when Georgie appeared in the kitchen and asked if she needed help with anything. ”Oh, sorry, I think I got it. Sometimes my head wanders off and I have a hard time reeling it back in,” Viv answers with a small chuckle, slicing up pieces of pie for them all. She handed two of the plates to Georgie and started getting the more plates ready.
”You know cooking is one of my happy places,” Viv teases at Georgie’s mention of the pie, shrugging off any thanks, ”I have to impress your dads so they’ll adopt me, remember?” Viv adds with a laugh, trying to cheer Georgie up even if just a little bit. She grinned at her roommate before moving back into the living room, offering the pies up to Georgie’s dads. The night flew by, chatting about their lives and reminiscing about childhood stories. Viv felt more at home in New York with her roommate and her two dads than she ever felt at home in Mississippi with her biological family, and it gave her a sense of comfort in herself that she never really felt before.
It was only when the stars were high in the sky that Georgie’s dads finally made an exit. Viv truly enjoyed spending time with Georgie’s dads, but wanted some time alone to repair her friendship with Georgie. And if she could find out what was bothering Georgie, that would be a bonus. But she couldn’t handle the awkwardness anymore, and more than anything, just wanted to be normal with her friend again. Viv immediately grabbed one of their bigger bottles of wine and pulled off the cork, pouring two big glasses for the of them. ”Time for us to have some Viv and G time we‘ve been needing,” Viv says with a laugh, shoving the wine glass in Georgie’s hand before she can say no.
Viv makes herself comfortable on the couch, taking a long sip of her wine and settling in. ”I like your dads, G,” Viv starts, smiling at the thought of the two men. They were so interested in Viv, and made her feel like she was their own daughter. ”I didn’t think they’d be so interested in me. I mean, to be fair, I’m not used to parents that want to do more than lecture me, so it’s nice,” Viv says with another chuckle, taking another long sip from her glass.
