Tagging:@dirty-bosmer@dumpsterhipster@asaara-writes@theggning@atypicalacademic and whoever else that wants to do this! (just say I tagged you!)

This isn’t six sentences at all, but… here’s a WIP I’m fond of since I’m feeling very Lee lately~ 

There was a quiet anger hovering over Lee as he sat at the dining table, glaring at the serving of mashed tatoes and roast meat. The only sign it had ever been touched were the small indents left by a fork. But not a bite had been taken.

Carol wiped her hands down the sides of her skirt, giving Lee a watery smile, “Not hungry, sweetie?”

Greta could see the anger rippling behind Lee’s eyes, the way his gaze shifted every which way but meeting Carol’s own imploring stares. He sighed, and shook his head. “I’m not, sorry. Thought I was.”

Carol, bless her, did what she could to battle the dark, angry cloud that seemed to hover over Lee. “Oh well, don’t worry, we can keep this for later. You could have it for breakfast! Or… whenever you like.”

Always dancing around the problem, her Carol, too sweet and too soft to ever confront anyone or anything head on. But that’s what Greta was for.

“You alright, Lee?” She looked at the youngster slumping in his seat, her eyes carefully regarding him.

He didn’t respond.

“You’ve been out of it for a while, kiddo,” Greta folded her arms across her chest, “You wanna talk about it?”

His continued silence was all the answer they needed.
