28 Howls:

If anyone's looking for me, I'm just going to be going away for a little bit. I'm fine, I just need, I just need to be away.

I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to work for you. Sorry.

He dumped me, Shal. After all this, he dumped me.

I... uh... Thomas... he broke up with me. So, I'm not sure...

It just probably wouldn't be smart, you know?

I-

I'm sorry, Mercy. I really am.

Thomas has nothing to do with the shop, I don't think he's even ever been.

I just don't - he's made it really clear he doesn't want anything more to do with me.

If he was going to be there...

Well, Thomas is very stupid. Especially if he starts to get happy.

He won't. And if he does, there's all sorts of fun things you can use to curse him in there.

I thought he was - we were... Doesn't matter. I was stupid to think anyone would stay with me.

I don't want to curse him. I just... I don't even know what I just.

I guess if you still want me I can stay. But I need a day or two to just figure out what I do now, find my own place, stay at the beach house, run away entirely.

Heh. Now that you know what a complete loss I am, you'd probably rather I quit.

No, you weren't, Mercy. This is not your fault.

No way, you should have seen me when Susan left. I stayed in my basement working on spells for weeks at a time. I smelled really bad.

People... I've never belonged anywhere. Not with anyone. That's... that's gotta be something about me.

I haven't let myself care about anyone like that. Not since Samuel. I should have known better. I don't - I'm better alone.

I'm sorry. That must have been hard for you.

Who really fits in with anyone? We're all misfits, even normal people. It's like puzzle pieces, they're all oddly shaped, the trick is to find the other odd shapes that fit just right with you.

You don't really believe that.

I'm a one of a kind, Harry. Always have been.

And yes, yes, I do believe that.

That just makes you that much more valuable.

No, you don't. Because you're trying to convince yourself of it.

It makes me alone, is what it makes me.

Harry, I didn't so much as go on a date for the past ten years. Thomas is the first person I've been seriously involved with in sixteen... There's a reason for that.

The reason is probably because you have high standards coupled with a fear of rejection along with a condition that makes it difficult to get close to guys in the first place.

None of that means you're not worth it. Look, please don't let my brother being an idiot have a bearing on your belief that you'll be with someone.

Get rejected enough and you don't trust yourself or anyone else.

I don't... I don't want to talk about him. Or even think about him. I... thought I was falling for him. Scared the hell out of me. Guess I don't have to worry anymore.

Let's talk about pie then.

Not a pie person. Brownies or cookies are my thing.

What about sheet cake?

Depends on the icing I guess.

Cream cheese icing.

Nope.

I like the real old fashioned frosting - lots of sugar and none of that light fake tasting gunk.

Yes, diabetes waiting to happen.

Don't think I'm susceptible to stuff like that.

Well then you should be eating a lot of cake.

I'll stick to brownies and cookies, thanks.

Now I want cookies.

I baked brownies, not that I can eat them, but there weren't the right supplies for cookies.
