She frowned, “I’m going to kick his ass, for being that-” 

I appreciate Lisa’s protectiveness of Taylor. 🙂 Although for what it’s worth, Brian did try his best to not let her down too hard. I don’t think he deserves an ass-kicking, having the full picture from Taylor’s perspective.

“No!”

Lisa frowned at me.

Pfft.

“Can’t I kick his ass just a little bit? For you?”

I went on, “Don’t interfere, don’t make things worse than they already are.  He’s mad at me, he’s hurt by what I did, and, um,” I bit the corner of my lip between my teeth, tried to think of how to gracefully state what I wanted to say, “We’re already separated.  You get what I mean?  We’re each in our own territory, doing our own things.  If something happened to push us further apart, I dunno if I’d even ever get his friendship back.”

Ah, yeah, very good point.

“Oh, Taylor, no-” Lisa started.  Before she could launch into any reassurances, there was a knock on the door.

I guess it’s time for reinforcements rather than reassurances.

Hm. Honestly, I’m not sure I like the escort thing. It’ll make for fewer opportunities for Taylor and Lisa to really talk, like they were doing just now.
