I said you were loving it, you belong here. I gushed. ( And then. ) And I said, I don't think I know my place yet. I don't know if it's for me. But, I also acknowledged I have no alternative in mind. ( And then. ) And, suggested, I could get more into art. I taught myself everything, I know there are actual rules.

Sometimes rules are meant to be broken.

[So she doesn't need to know the rules, necessarily, to be an artist. But she smiles as she reaches for her hand.]

But I think that could be good. Probably way less stressful than some of the other classes you could be taking.

Well, I'm not going to be studying law any time soon. Or math. Avoiding math.

( But something's out there. )

Should I try round two with another bag of popcorn? Boys like it burnt, right?

[Josie glances over at the microwave and shrugs.]

Maybe? Then at least we have fifty-fifty in terms of good popcorn versus burned popcorn.

( She doesn't know what boys like! )

Yeah, yeah. I'll grab another bag.
