[she'd do her best to understand. she was an only child of only children, all of her grandparents were dead, and her dad...the less she thought about her dad, the better. and her relationship with her sister, Cassie, seemed strained for some reason she couldn't directly explain. her sister was acting weird in general]
Oh! That's got to be nice, to have him here too. So you're not completely flying blind, you've got someone to rely on.
[it's strangely easier for Lexi, despite being the baby of the family. their mom always favored Cassie and never made much of a secret of it. her classmates jockeyed for Cassie's attention. Cassie was a cheerleader, ridiculously popular, the kind of girl who could get anyone she wanted by flashing a smile. Lexi was just kind of...dull in comparison, not even the moon to Cassie's sun. maybe some part of the world where the sun never went to begin with]
Yeah. This--this is going to sound kind of stupid? But I've never been on my own before. Even when Mrs. Bennett did Brownies, we camped as a troop. I know how to cook and clean and take care of a household, none of that's a problem. It's that the household seems really quiet, just me and Orville.
