What's one thing you've been meaning to tell each other?
HOPE: Frankie got a haircut. (she smiles and ruffles her fingers through the top of his dark hair) And I kind of like it. (she beams with a giggle). FRANKIE: (He edges back as if they need their boundaries, but he smiles, too with a wince.) You'd think I was a hermit of some kind who's stuck in the 90's. (He shakes his head no as if she is not supposed to touch his hair, but she does anyway.) Seriously, I don't have anything to really tell her. I mean, a part of me feels I need to keep quiet. You know, watch and wait. Don't overreact with this thing with Tori, or my other personal problems. I just need to stay focused on the now. And..you know, hope for the best for my friends. I don't want to depress them. I know times are tough. It's even pretty scary out there. And well, I'm glad Hope had her baby. I hope her classes go well. I hope she has plenty of sweet moments with her baby and with her boyfriend Kyle too. (He's even lipped now as if he's said his peace.) HOPE: Well, I really want Frankie to meet someone ..who..who can really appreciate him. (she nods.) He's really quite generous with his time and he's the best listener in the world. He really has gone out of his way for me. I know he's got a lot of fans at the Yoga studio. I mean, seriously, this guy is busy. (she smiles) I don't even know how he finds time to see me, but I'm glad he does. And I think he needs to visit Tori too. (She presses her lips tight as if she is reluctant to say more.) I think he knows Tori better than any of us, and maybe if they can come to terms that their friendship isn't broken will help her the most, during this struggle of hers. (Frankie is mute. One would think he would never be animated, but then he plays with Hope's hair, and they both laugh.)
Me gusta el personaje de Frankie, te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteI think Frankie will eventually find someone :)
ReplyDeleteI like Frankie's haircut too! Also, his line: "You'd think I was a hermit of some kind who's stuck in the 90's." Frankie's so thoughtful, worrying about Hope and Tori and trying to do what's best. And Hope seems to appreciate that.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe your doctor lost your records! Well, let me rephrase that: I can believe it, bureaucracy being what it is. But it's awful. And certainly the last thing you want to hear on a follow-up about an eye stroke. At least you got to work on your hat, although I realize that's small comfort. Records or not, I hope that you stay well and can enjoy working on all your wonderful projects. :)
