with a small huff, caroline stops in her tracks.

“fuck, you’re right.”

arms cross over her chest instead, releasing the skirt.

“you want me to mess up my hair?”
"Oh, you know I wasn't serious. Come on..."

Well, freedom to speak one's mind did come with ramifications, if exercised too freely. She sighs and slows her pace, barely.

"You're going to cut your foot on a rock."
“no, but — god, that’s fucked ( up! * )”

a huff, skirt pulled up above her knees so that she can walk a bit faster.

“no, but — god, that’s fucked ( up! * )”

a huff, skirt pulled up above her knees so that she can walk a bit faster.
"Am I wrong?"

She's still walking by. Trying to get used to the open air of daylight.

It's a process. Trust the process.
she’s already getting back out of the lake. she entirely disregards her boots.

“what did you just say t’me?” she shouts back.

Passing by, she idly remarks,

"If you walk to the bottom, I'm sure you won't hear anything."

Well. Less idle, when she's shouting to someone far from the shore.
thank god.

[ long pause. then, kicking her boots off. into the lake she goes, and good god, is it cold. she endures. ]

this sure is lake water.

sometimes i feel like those single widow in your area things
March 26, 2025 at 1:46 AM
thank god.

Probably does! We're south of the mountain, and it's just barely spring now.

(It's not long before they're there.)

Well. Go ahead, I guess?
. . . i’m sure it’ll be fine. i’ll be fine.

sun might hit it.

sun might hit it.
Could be, yeah. Not as bad as the ocean though, I bet. Kinda hard to tell when it's at the foot of a mountain.
hell yeah.

you think the water will be horrible and cold?
March 26, 2025 at 12:45 AM
hell yeah.

you think the water will be horrible and cold?
Sure! Need a break from all this anyway.
hm. lake might be smarter. could get deeper.

wanna walk with me, then?
March 26, 2025 at 12:30 AM
hm. lake might be smarter. could get deeper.

Maybe longer? Or you could try the lake.
true.

[ pause. dunking her head again. ]

really? fuck, this isn’t working.
March 26, 2025 at 12:23 AM
true.

[ pause. dunking her head again. ]

really? fuck, this isn’t working.
Well, I could have said no.

(Leaning on the wall, watching)

Think I still hear them.
it feels rude.

[ dunking her head in the comedically large bowl of water that she keeps for this exact reason. ]

the ones talking about grinding. or were, i guess.

Not degrading, just kinda.... hm.

Oh, is that what you're doing? Which ones?
actually . . . ugh, i’m sorry, that felt degrading to ask of you.

[ just . . . peeling them off. keeping them in her hand. the other hand pulls her hair back. ]

all this to not hear men talk . . .
March 26, 2025 at 12:11 AM

March 26, 2025 at 12:06 AM

I guess I've probably touched worse.

(She holds out her hand)
oh my god you’re so right . . .

if i take my lashes off, could you hold them for one second? i’m sorry, i’m so sorry.
March 26, 2025 at 12:03 AM

March 25, 2025 at 11:58 PM

Guess you could stick your whole head in.

Pour it in, girl.
trying to figure out a way to get water in her ears so that she can hear less.
