3rd Floor Common Room: Monday Evening [10-20-08]

Peyton had the TV on, but really wasn't paying much attention to it. She was sketching furiously, trying to put it on paper rather than leave it inside. which meant her art wasn't particularly lighthearted.

She'd probably be glad of a distraction and there was lots of fresh coffee on.

"Yeah, well, haven't started throwing things at you, yet, but the night's young."

She glanced over at him. "Might be a start, yeah."

"I've already made a baseball analogy. I'm willing to try to catch things," Dick said. "I just wish I had my mitt on me."

She laughed a little ruefully. "I'll try not to throw anything at you. None of this is your fault after all."

"Thanks, I appreciate it," Dick said. "If you were going to look for your mother, do you know how you'd go about it? Sometimes even just figuring that kind of stuff can help."

Peyton sighed. "I know her name and a little about her. I could probably track her down. But after I threw her out of my house and told her I never wanted to see her again..."

Dick had to admit, he had thought the thing about making people leave was just figurative language. That showed him that he shouldn't assume. "Never's a long time. People can change their minds a lot before never is over."

"Yeah, well, considering she's dying of breast cancer, never's a lot shorter in this instance," Peyton said.

And usually it was figurative language. Just not in Ellie's case.

"Oh," Dick said. "If you don't mind me asking, why wouldn't you want to see her again before you didn't have a choice in the matter?"

Peyton paced a little trying to put her thoughts in order. "She just showed up out of the blue this summmer - lied to me about who she was, freaked the hell out of me 'cause I thought she was this weirdo who'd been sort of cyberstalking me. Then she tells me she's my biological mom. I didn't even know I was adopted till then."

She shook her head. "It was like she was there trying to take my mother's place and she kept lying about stuff and... I just finally told her to leave."

"If it were me, I'd probably look for her. A big part of that would be just to shock her, though," Dick said. "But it's just hypothetical for me. It sounds like a tough decision. I don't envy you."

"i don't know if I can watch another mom die," Peyton said quietly.
