Thank you for finding me
And thank you for the care
There were very few people Sam would allow to tease him about sex, and he was surprised to find Evie was one of them. "Well, that comes naturally after the kissing, I suppose. You'll just need to be a polite ghost and not come in, won't you?" He laughed, a little uncomfortable and a little amused. Still, the kissy face was dropped.
As she sat, he considered telling her what they both knew, that their mother would be slapping her ankles and making her sit 'like a lady'; then something about the atmosphere, the fact that they were actually getting along for once without their family hanging over them like a dark cloud...he left it. "Then it's a wonder they speak to you at all." He commented, the joke too easy to make.
"...I don't miss it, you know. Being able to talk to them. The Voice is enough." Sam mused, dipping the edge of his shoe in the water to make ripples. "Perhaps if we'd had a better mother I wouldn't like her as much; I'm not an idiot. I'm sure everyone thinks I stay with the Voice because I need.." He sighed and made a face. "A mummy. Maybe they're not wrong."

And fuck you for making me
Think that this life might be fair
