Episode 1334: Cover Me In Sunshine

I’m so tempted to just blurt it out in front of everyone, Tansy wrote. Maybe everyone else will help us make Holt’s case. If she’d just hear the whole story.

She seems pretty determined not to change her mind, Shelane replied. We might feel the same in her shoes. We can’t incite her family and friends to gang up on her, it wouldn’t be fair no matter how much we want to help Holt. It’s tempting to do it anyway, I get that.

Yeah. Tansy eventually agreed in a responding text. It wouldn’t be right, even if it feels right for Holt and Mo’s sake. I know. I don’t want to wreck things for my mom, either, they’re finally more like actual sisters. I just wish this had worked.

Your aunt’s only been sitting with this for a couple of hours. There’s a long road for Holt’s case, maybe she’ll come around yet.

A long shot, Tansy answered. Hopefully my Aunt Ava is another story.

Maybe patience is going to be required on all fronts. This is a big mess to untangle Holt from, it’s going to take time to get him out of it. You can’t expect results overnight.

I hate that, Tansy wrote.

I’m right there with you.

At least there’s one happy thing, Tansy noted, adding a smiley heart emoji. The pair smiled at each other in real life, too, letting their shoulders snuggle closer.

As down as Tansy felt about so far being unable to persuade her Aunt Adria, having Shelane on her side in this, in everything, it just felt like the greatest consolation that ever existed, even in miserable circumstances.

Once upon a time, Tansy had thought there might be no such thing as a person for her, but now it seemed like she’d maybe found her.
