Begrudgingly.
After the last couple years they’d endured together, how couldn’t they understand the importance of being with the right person?
But I was an adult. I didn’t need to ask permission to do dick in my life.
Star was mine.
She’d gotten me involved in no less than three conspiracies with repercussions I didn’t even want to imagine right now, and I wasn’t about to do this on my own.
We were a team. She might have forgotten that because she was an only child and I had brothers coming out of the woodwork, but it was about time that she was reminded of that fact.
Whether she liked it or not.

Star:Are you angry with your da for cheating on your mom?
Conor:Honestly?
Star:Why would I want you to lie?
Conor:Fair point. Lol.
Conor:No. I’m not mad.
Star:Why not? You love your ma, don’t you?
Conor:I do. Even if she is a headcase.
Star:To be honest, raising all those boys probably did most of the legwork in making her insane.
Conor:True. ;) I, of course, was a saint, but I’m thinking that being kidnapped by Aryans was more of an issue.
Star::/ Forgot about that.
Conor:It’s not your truth. Some days, it’s easy to forget. It was so long ago. But that’s the thing about trauma, isn’t it? You never know what’ll make it rear its ugly head.
Star:Very true.
Star:I can’t listen to music during sex.
Conor:It’s a trigger?
Star:Makes me angry.
Conor:Okay. Note to self: never listen to music around Lodestar.
Star:Lol. You can at some points, just not sex.
Conor:Meaning…?
Star:^^
Conor:O.O
