“I don’t think it’s ever definitive, because it’s so different for each person. Sometimes you’re an adult when you’re 12, sometimes when you’re 18, sometimes when you’re on your own for the first time and sometimes never. It all really depends on your situation. For me, I think, it was when I bought my condo, it was the first real thing that I owned myself. It’s when I really felt like an adult.” Ophelia then laughed, embarrassed by how she had gone on some rant about being an adult, but she was a little older, and maybe not wiser, but she figured her perspective could hopefully be a little helpful. 

Sawyer nodded along, absorbing the woman’s words. She wondered if she had done several adult things, why didn’t she feel like one? “Did people start treating you differently? Better? Worse?”

Mason looks at her. “ I think it’s about accepting responsibility for yourself and not trying to get people to do everything for you, it’s also about getting out there and making your way in the world without someone there holding your hand.”

“Then I guess I became an adult over ten years ago,” she joked, though only a half-hearted chuckle left her. “It’s... stupid how that happens.”

“ Just this case which I can’t talk about, but please keep filling up that coffee cup because I am going to need it.”

“Come on. I’m really good at keeping secrets. Who am I gonna tell? My two year old sister?”

Landon laughed looking at her. “All I’ve had today is a sports drink and lots and lots of coffee… maybe that’s the issue?”

“I probably shouldn’t have refilled your coffee then. Lots? Got somethin’ on your mind?”

thelandinglawyer:

“ I am normally so much better controlled than that, but that just came out of nowhere!” He replied looking at her smiling as his cheeks start to fade. 

“You might wanna refrain from drinking too much Pepsi Cola and drinkin’ through straws. At least that’s what I heard causes it. I can even pat your back if you need help getting it all out. I’m pretty much an expert.”

“What does it even mean to be an adult?” Sawyer thought out loud. “Is there a definin’ moment in your life or is it just thrust upon you? Is it age? Is it... is it attitude?”

Are you done being an asshole?’ he heard his assistant of fourteen years, query in a bored tone into the phone.  He had been sort of shittier than usual, on a rampage through the office, even taking it out on her, someone who he not only saw as an employee, but after all this time, considered a friend. The interns and newer employees, he knew by her calling him, she had taken care of, told them the boss was just having a bad day, but she had not yet forgiven him. He sighed as he waited in line to get coffee, his first cup of the day, he was running late and hadn’t had any yet, that and a shitty client had fucked over his mood earlier. “I’m about to drink the blood of some virgins, so, yeah. Shall I bring you a cup as a bid for forgiveness?” he chuckled into the phone. “Or will I need to buy you a set of pearls for pissing you off, dear?” he asked in a sickeningly sweet tone, laced with sarcasm.  Once the call was dropped, and his phone back in his pocket, he groaned slightly at the never ending line.  “I wonder who I have to blow around here to get my triple non fat latte”  came the mumble under his breath.

Sawyer had the morning off, a rare occasion, so she decided to take Dawson and Isabella out for some pastries and hot chocolate. The older and taller person in front of them was loud and obnoxious, not different from most men, but it was his language that was crude and disgusting. She covered her brother’s ears until the man was finished talking. “Excuse me, sir. I’d appreciate it greatly if you lowered your voice.” She darted her eyes to her siblings at her side who looked up at the patron with confused stares.

George: Can you watch my pets next week? Please?

Sawyer: I watch a two year old and an eight year old. What makes you think I can take on anymore rowdiness?

Landon burped loudly a lot louder than he’d expected to, looking around as he felt everyone’s eyes on him his eyes flush a light shade of pink. “ Sorry about that, I didn’t mean for it to come out like that.”

Sawyer chuckled as she refilled the man’s mug of coffee. “I’ve changed hundreds of diapers and I’ve cleaned up pee off the wall when my baby brother was potty training. Burping is probably least grossest hygienic habit.”

grape, banana, blackberry, coconut, kiwi

grape: if you could take a vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go?

✦ to learn about my character’s family

Sawyer’s relationship with her family, aside from Dawson and Isabella, is strained. As she is the third youngest of nine siblings, her older brothers and sisters have a different father from the three of them so they distanced themselves from the Craven clan, angry that their mother cheated on their father resulting in the conception of Sawyer. 

Reynold Craven, Sawyer’s father died from a drug overdose right before Isabella, now two years old, was born. Behind he left his wife, Mary, who is a drug addict as well to raise their children alone. But it wasn’t Mary who was taking care of Dawson and Isabella, it was Sawyer. It was Sawyer who drove them to school and helped them with their homework. It was Sawyer who made them breakfast, lunch and dinner, who signed her brother’s field trip permission slips, who changed their diapers and dressed them for the day.

Social Services eventually deemed Mary Craven an unfit parents and made Sawyer Dawson and Isabella’s permanent guardian.

The three siblings have always been close, but with their new family arrangement it just brought them closer together. Dawson and Isabella are Sawyer’s only family, as far as she’s concerned.
