Jane kept herself entertained in a less destructive manner..
Monsters seem very real to a lonely child late at night
Constance was deal with her own emotional upheaval. Meadow was not doing well. Age was dragging her down and Don was not as supportive as he once was.
"I'll come right over sweetie."
"I know Don asked you to write a book about him. Do you think, if you wrote it the right way, it might help save things between him and me?"
"Tell me what you want it to say!"
Constance set up shop and took notes as Meadow dictated about the life she wished she'd had with the father of her son, Titus.
As Constance was putting the finishing touches on her biography of Don Lothario her computer died.
"I hope that's not a bad sign..."
It needed to be finished in time for Meadow's party. It was in celebration of Don's biography. An attempt to help their relationship. Constance had no choice but to bring Jane with her. But that turned out to be a good thing. She and Titus entertained each other, leaving the grown ups alone!
Seeing what a good mood her mother was in after the party Jane showed of her ballet moves. Secretly she HATED ballet, but if it made mommy happy, she was going to try it.
"Lovely Jane!"
"Wow, this 'being a good little girl' thing seems to be working" Jane thought to herself
The next day Constance was hung over! After remembering how good Jane was the night before, she gave her some money and told her to take Titus to the Fall Festival.
"You two have a good time and don't come home any time soon!"
Yay, I'm glad they've become friends! :3 But I wonder if Constance is too strict with her :/ I wonder how she would react if Jane told her that she hates Ballet?
ReplyDeleteConstance was very selfish and just wanted Jane to leave her alone. Dealing with any trouble she got into was too much of a distraction. Children should be seen and not heard as far as she's concerned.
