[On the one hand, she's thankful that he gets it and she doesn't HAVE to try to explain her relationship with her mother further. On the other...well, she knows how much that sort of relationship sucks. And there's no real gentle way of saying that.]
I'm sorry, Peter. That really sucks. [She doesn't want to pry, but she wants to make sure he knows that if he needs to ever talk about it, she's a very good listener.]
You know how some people, you can talk with them endlessly, and others it feels like battery drain? Mum and I definitely drain each other. I think my dad was the other type, so he sort of balanced us out.
If you ever need to vent, I'm here.
[She misses that feeling - balance. It's a lot rarer these days.]
I can't promise Toby will like you instantly but he is very sweet when you get to know him. Or when he thinks you've got treats, haha.
I could probably do sometime this week. I mean, tonight would just be completely last minute crazy, right?
[...unless...?]

It's fine, really... we're both just really busy people. I've gotten used to it. We talk when it counts.
[ Maybe he should work on being more truthful... and truthfully, after what he went through with his 'birth' family, it was hard to connect with his adoptive one. ]
Same offer applies to you :)
[ He's a gentleman... well, mostly... only when it came to Molly at this point in time. He's not about to impose on her night unless she gives the okay. ]
Sure, sure, take your time - safety first and all that. it's not i'm going anywhere, hah.
[She's doing amateur parkour around her flat to pull together her laundry and look a little less like she's spent the last two days slacking on dishes.]
I'll sure try!
[Yeah okay she's not doing any major cooking with the dishes as they are. Yikes. Take-away it is. Everybody likes pizza, right? And she's pretty sure she can put together a dessert. Yeah! This is fine. She can totally do this.]

Yeah, you're probably right about that.

[She'd been considering biting the bullet on that tonight, but...well that wasn't written in stone or anything.]
I mean, I'm not doing much tonight besides laundry, which is mostly a waiting game anyway. I just figure you've got plans. Or just want to stay home.
no subject
[ Is she hinting at what he thinks she's hinting at? ]
Yeah, that's true...
No plans on my end
[ I mean, technically, he did have some sort of plan but they hadn't been solidified. More of an idea of a plan... ]
I have no issues with completely last minute crazy, just for the record.
no subject

[ Really, he's not picky. ]

Don't worry, I'm not picky about food.
I'll eat anything and try everything at least once.
[ Seven minutes later ]
Heading out, be there in a few.
