Alice Whatsapped Danny and he got back to her. I kind of had a girlfriend one-track mind and didn't want to inundate Danny with messages. Especially, if he was still in the thick of it. From everyone's description, because, seriously, I think everyone knows everyone now? It was bad. And now they're all gearing up to go after the culprits.
( It's the first time she's vicariously living through the drama and the danger. )
Did everything go okay with your uncle? Had a lot to say doesn't sound bad.
It wasn't, not really. Turns out he and Lizzie have a pretty big thing in common.
[She's hoping that Hope can read between the lines there, because Shep is still in the house and she doesn't want to spill the beans too much while he's in hearing distance.]
He seems cool though. And he brought his friend Annie, and she's quiet, but nice. I think she was mostly there for moral support and free food.

[Because yeah, that's a lot and she can understand why Hope was anxious to get hold of her.]
Well, we're all okay. Shep had a lot to say and so did we, but we're all safe. Did you text Lizzie too? About Danny?

Josie, I love you, but if Ivan invited me to his aunt's for moral support and free food, I'd go. I'd also invite you to be support plus one.

[But to Hope's second point.]
I'm glad because oh my god, did you see the pictures of their spreads?

Colm could be a foodfluencer.
no subject
Unfortunately he is a jerk of many talents.
[But she will redirect back to Lizzie.]
And she knows. But I think it'll be nice for her to have a heretic slash siphon on the family side who's not Kai aka not evil.
no subject
( She can say that. )
It must feel like maybe she's less alone.
no subject
I hope so. We haven't really had a chance to talk about it too much.
[With vampire uncle downstairs listening.]
But he's a nice guy. I think it'll be good for my mom having him around too.
no subject
( And she took that deathly seriously. Hope remembers her inner Kai showing himself a few times back at school. )
You're still flying back on Sunday?
no subject
[Romantic airport reunions may be her favorite.]
no subject
( Their favorite. )
I should go, I have to talk to my mom, but -- love you?
no subject
[And with that, she will hang up and go track down her sister for post-family dinner debriefing.]
