I just prefer to avoid that kind of friction if we can, especially since my father is not really talking to me. It was actually more like I was a dirty servant. My mother is wrapped up in herself so there is that."[/color] She leaned her head on his shoulder. 

Brienna grinned up at him. [color=f6989d]"So that is my crazy day so far. How's yours going and who is covering for you?"[/color]
