Ollie first! I think it's safe to say that Ollie confuses Cissie. ;) She likes Ollie. She's not sure sometimes what to make of the things he says, because he can be very... Ollie! She's not used to having a father, and isn't quite sure how to go about reconnecting with one or building a relationship with him, but she wants to. Which is progress! She doesn't have expectations of him, except she thinks he thinks she does, and then she wonders if she does after all, and ultimately she just winds up confused. But every time they talk, she feels wary, because she doesn't know what to expect. So when he surprises her by saying the occasional nice thing, she is very touched. Really, any parental interaction that doesn't result in rage or tears makes Cissie a happy camper and earns Ollie points. ;)
And now BART. Oh, Bart. Cissie loves Bart. I know this shocks you. He takes her breath away a lot with the things he says and does, and she really doesn't know how she wound up so lucky. She always loved him, but when they were young, she thought it was more of a big sister/little brother relationship, because, well, he was BART. She honestly doesn't understand how others don't/can't realize that Bart can't help being the way he is and moving a million miles faster than everyone else, or that he can't help thinking the way he does. To her, that's just part of what makes him Bart, and it means more than anything that he slows down for her. It's part of why she finds their quiet times together so precious, because she knows it isn't easy for him to be still. When she was reconnecting with everyone, reconnecting with Bart was the easiest, and she felt like there wasn't really any reconnecting to do there. And he was so sad, and she just wanted to be there for him, and then he disappeared and came back and the rest was history. ;) She knows that he understands her or will ask if he doesn't, and she can't hide anything from him and doesn't want to. She loves him, and she trusts him more than anyone.
