79: Because Together, It's More Than A Golden Ticket

"Willingly might be a bit of a stretch but I will get here there." It was a solution because as much as he thought that Gigi might like to think that those just applied to science and her brain and her intelligence solutions were an every day thing and he was really feeling this one even though the truth was that his own emotions had been flushing lately. "I always like to have an extra set of eyes too and besides those scales are going to help more than I think that even Ribbon is willing to admit."

It was all about what he seen. Her whole existence, his whole existence. It was true that his sister had not admitted it to herself how she was just a shiny decoration piece but he seen so much more so he was glad in a way. "I'm going to need you to give me a couple of days to sort everything out and then if it is okay with you I will come to your house. I might even invite everyone over because while I respect the fact that you want to keep everything under wraps if they knew I think that they would want to help you." If you couldn't lean on your friends in a time of travesty then were they really your friends? If they could not understand you at your lowest points then what good were they. "Why haven't you told them, scared that they might care too much?"

She did not nod her head because she did not feel like the question that he had just asked her truly deserved an answer at least not at first. "People get thier own conceptions of you and no matter what you do to prove them wrong those conceptions of what they think are going to last forever." She did not sound bitter when she spoke because she was not. For the longest when she was married to Tristan she had spent years trying to be something that she now knew that she was not. It was not that he had not helped her develop but he wanted control and she had given it to him without a thought only to have him leave her flat on her ass when it came down to truly counting.

"I'm just trying to be more honest and real with myself about everything lately and if that means keeping secrets because I know that it is not going to change anything then I feel that is my right. It's like death. It comes faster than anyone realizes and then they want to say how we should have did this or that but if people really want to do it then they will do it while you are here." She knew that was a little gruesome to go to but it was the truth. "Anyway Micah you and your sister are all I need because unlike my own children you will stop doing something when I ask and you will not give me pity."

He nodded because he understood. Whenever something tragic happened it was weird between family and while that was with good and understanding reason it always made it easier to lean on someone else who you were close with but in no way shared any blood with. "I could never pity anyone really." He knew that made him sound almost heartless but he only looked at it as a fact. "We start doing that and we lose our complete focus of what it means to love them through the hard times. I think I could understand it differently if it were someone I only knew as a stranger."

"I never truly trusted other people's thoughts about me anyway. Too much time doing that and the next thing that you know your life is gone and you have accomplished a lot but never truly felt that it did you any good." This was just another reason that he liked her because they could talk and judge and their dynamic still remained the same. "I will gather Ribbon up upon your word and the three of us will get as much done as we can before we alert Parker to it. I know she will help she's just always needed guidance as you know."

"The mind can be a tricky thing. As much as one would think that we would be fueled by everything that it can do once you put emotions in it becomes a whole lot trickier but then you add on trust issues and it's a whole different formula." She was not saying it to be scary she was simply saying it to be honest. "At least this year is almost over," she did not want to be the person who was down in the dumps but after so long she supposed that it happened to everyone.

"It will be cold here I imagine soon and because of that I truly think that we on the verge of something great as long as we can keep our focus." It was still hard for her and even now she was still on the fence about it. "Alright anything else that you feel like you need to do before we get started good or have you had enough time to map it all out?" She was good even with half a plan as it seemed he liked to call it. "I'm smart enough to fill in the holes as we go if that is what you would prefer."

The truth was he had been so lost in thought that at the moment time had passed but he still knew what he wanted to do but he had a different idea. "What if we started over? Simply for one more time?" He knew that he had been asking a lot of her but this time he was not going to bail out as much as he had but the truth was that life had kicked him a bit too much lately and he was shaking the webs of the past off.

It was no excuse really and at the end of the day all it did was make him look weak but that was the last thing that he wanted to do for her. "I just need you to have some patience and help me with a couple of other things first and then I think that the rest of it will pan out if that makes sense to you." Still he knew it had been what seemed like forever and he would not blame her if she wanted out. "If you want out I'm giving it to you because I have failed you and even Trove but I know that she's still in but neither of us can speak for you, so?"

"If anyone understands why it took you a minute to get where you need to be it's me. I mean as you know I always kind of spit on plans because everything around us is so fluid in a way that I am not sure if we should even ever consider ourselves the type of people that should make plans in the first place." Her whole plan had been her husband and yes their had always been a bit of an age difference between them but she loved him and now she did not have him and that meant finding out who she was on her own and a lot of times that was a hell of a journey to take.

She turned to him and nodded. "I'm ready but I do believe that the line goes something about a haircut. You look nice Micah but still a little boyish and that is something that we must change regardless of if we want to or not. Only after you do that can you really begin and me too," she said as she leaned into him. She knew it was a mistake but it was still one she wanted to make again. "No mistakes this time though that is my only rule."

He ran his hands through his hair as he listened to her. "Well," it was a tall order but it was also one that he thought that he could fill for her. "I think once I get done and come back from my soul searching or just wrapping my head around everything then it will contain less mistakes. I do not want to say that there are no mistakes because I can not guarantee considering that I am working with others and I know that you know all about that all too well but less yes."

He figured that she was so smart that she would get it but he also knew that by the time it started her inlligence would be less right? If he understood it right. "I am going to send my mother after Vivian during the time and I think that she has a few gifts of her own to hand out to her so that Vivian can be put on the same page as the rest of us since you know she is my favorite. I figure giving her time to work on her numbers will also be good of me." He smiled. "I don't ever want to be the type to give her the third degree or anything," he said as he leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. "See you soon."
