Episode 97: This Woman NeedsJustine drew up behind her husband wrapping her arms around his bare torso. Her fingers blindly fumbled for the button on his Levi’s. He reluctantly moved her hands and rummaged through the drawer for a clean shirt, neither of them were too adept or eager for laundry."It’s your day off, you don’t have to get dressed," she cooed. He faced her and gave her a long kiss. "There’s nothing I’d like better but you know I have to help Tal find a used car, remember I told you she broke down on the bridge and some guy shook his fist at her, can you believe that?" Justine sulked off and sank onto the end of the bed. "What I can’t believe is why your sister doesn’t just get a real job already?" "Well, that was nice and Marques, it’s really hard to tell that your mother has been around here lately," he said and walked into the bathroom, and she followed behind him. "What is that supposed to mean? You’re the one who invited her, I think you should be happy that we’re on better terms," she said, pulling in her lower lip. "Maybe I would be if I could walk into my bathroom and recognize the toothpaste, I don’t know what any of this stuff is, is that the bar of soap? I don’t know, maybe it’s the shaving cream." He complained, then splashed his face with cold water. "My mother is only trying to be kind, she’s giving me some of the things I’m used to, how is that any different from our freezer being full of your mother’s lasagna?" She asked her voice lowering on the temperature scale to an icy chill. "It’s different Justine, it’s totally different and before you would have known that," he dried his face with the pink foliage towel and dropped it on the counter.
