Cissie wasn't kidding when she told Cassie that she had lost her living room somewhere under all the camping supplies. She had lists--somewhere--of everything she'd bought and what it was all for, but at the moment she didn't care so much about all of that. At the moment she just wanted to get everything out of the store packaging and into the duffle bags and plastic containers so it would all fit in the van. She hoped it would all fit in the van.
She had asked Cassie to come by to help. While she certainly appreciated the help, she knew she could also have asked Bart, or managed on her own. But she wanted to spend a little time with Cassie, and to talk to her about what had happened over the weekend, especially the part where Bart told her Cassie had broken up with Tim and Kon to sacrifice her own happiness for everyone else's.

Date: 2009-05-12 04:10 pm (UTC)"I'm..." People had been asking her how she was all day. Which is not exactly unusual but she'd felt some pressure to answer...thoughtfully. Kon and Tim obviously knew what was going on with them but even they didn't know exactly what was going on with her. Especially Kon. Part of Cassie wanted to talk about it almost desperately, but it was a part she didn't let out very often and she didn't even know what Cissie knew. She shrugged. "I'm fine. Starting to get excited for the trip!" Deflect!!

She hesitated, not sure how much she wanted to push--Cassie hadn't wanted to talk on Saturday, but Cissie really thought she should talk about what happened.
"So. Kon came by and talked to Bart last night." She glanced up at Cassie, pausing in their packing. She may as well ask and apologize later if she was out of line for doing so. "What happened?"

It was a trial basis in Cassie's mind but she hadn't even said that to the others. "Road trip saved!" She added, as lightly as she could, and picked up another tarp.

Date: 2009-05-13 03:54 pm (UTC)Her first response was to dismiss the question, but Cassie knew Cissie wouldn't like or accept that. "It would be better for me, too. I don't want to be angry with Kon because he loves me too much. I don't want to feel like a constant disappointment." She got enough of that in her non-romantic life. Speaking of which, "I'd be a better leader" Wow, she actually said leader. "if my attentions weren't divided."
It would be better for everyone except Cassie and admittedly Tim. Cassie and Tim, Tim and Cassie. Feelings they should have buried or swallowed or convinced themselves they didn't need. I would do anything for you, he'd said and she felt the same. Anything for each other, even not be together. But it was Tim she had stayed for. Kon she still thought she was hurting as much as she (and Tim) did honestly and genuinely and deeply love him. He was their Arthur and he would always be the best of them.
"But it's a moot point anyway. Kon doesn't" understand "agree and Tim...we didn't break up." Despite her best efforts. Well, not entirely her best. But close.
