1-10-24 WIP Wednesday (Closed) | Surely
Andrew doesn't want to have this conversation where Roland could overhear it. He probably doesn't actually want to have this conversation, but there are some emotional landmines that Neil seems determined to step on.
His mother always seemed to be one of them.
Andrew doesn't understand Neil's attachment to her, though Andrew has a hard time understanding anyone's attachment to a mother.
So he waits and watches Neil as Neil watches Roland and tries to figure out how to mitigate the blast damage of this particular landmine.

And if it's not too much trouble can I request Surely once more ?
1-17-24 WIP Wednesday (Closed) | Surely
"You brought me back here to ask about Shirley Temples?" he asks incredulously.
Andrew gives him a look, but decides to be clearer if only so that Neil had no where to run.
"Mary made you Shirley Temples." he says.
"Oh." Neil says and his gaze falls away from Andrew as he looks across the room. "Yeah, it was..." he trails off trying to find the right word for what the drink was to him.
Andrew can wait.
