Or for a week.

[tsuninlaw]

Wait, what? What happened Vanessa? Are you injured?

text;

[disinherits]

[It takes a minute to reply. Okay, maybe she didn't think this all the way through.]

I'm fine, I only pulled a muscle.

text;

[tsuninlaw]

Surely a pulled muscle does not ail you for a week. What if you tore something? I'll take you to the doctor immediately!

text;

[disinherits]

[God damn it she should have picked something else.]

For goodness sake, I don't need a doctor! I just need to stay off of it for a few days!

text;

[tsuninlaw]

If you say so...

I'll come over and put the kettle on.

text;

[disinherits]

I can manage on my own, thank you.

[She'll try to put it politely at first.]

text;

[tsuninlaw]

If you've hurt yourself that badly the last thing you ought to do is strain yourself further.

text;

[disinherits]

[Okay she's gonna have to fight dirty and tsun this around on him.]

So you think I'm too weak to handle it on my own?

text;

[tsuninlaw]

Of course not! But the fact is you're not alone! You have me, Vanessa, and it is no weakness to depend on someone else when you have injured yourself.

text;

[disinherits]

Stop making it sound like I'm on my deathbed! I don't need you here, Edward!

text;

[tsuninlaw]

But Vanessa...!

text;

[disinherits]

If I need your help then I'll ask for it, but until that time, please don't come to see me!

Re: text;

[tsuninlaw]

I can't see you for a week?! Isn't that a tad bit hysteric of you?

text;

[disinherits]

[And here she almost switches to voice just to yell, but then thinks better of it.]

WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME

text;

[tsuninlaw]

I DIDN'T MEAN IT

text;

[disinherits]

[Guess who isn't getting a text back. B(]

[tsuninlaw]

VANESSA? VANESSA I APOLOGIZE

text;

[disinherits]

[nope.png]

text;

[tsuninlaw]

VANESSA

text;

[disinherits]

[A few minutes later:]

What

text;

[tsuninlaw]

I love you and I apologize. Whatever your reasoning may be, I'll respect your request. Promise me you will call though, in a week's time.

text;

[disinherits]

[Another few minutes later, after she's done crying:]

I'll call you then. I promise.
