s to bore into your soul* What do you want, Heather? You've never been one for small talk or unnecessary visits. Is there something you need from me?
You: Well…I wanted to make sure you’re okay. I remember what it was like when my father died…I…was alone…and I didn’t want you to feel the same way. I’m not good at small talk. I find it stupid and irritating. You’re…grieving…and what? I’m supposed to ask you about the damn weather or something? No. And…this isn’t unnecessary.
