and one for Ron ♥ ♥ that is the cutest thing ever!
His voice is so bitter and mocking as he goes on that it seems to burn my ears. “She explained that since Mikey has joint custody of JR, and looks after her for one third of the time, that he doesn’t have to give them anything.”
I do turn then, I can’t help myself. I find myself looking into eyes that are brimming with years of hurt; a whole lifetime’s worth, concentrated into this moment.
He gives a half laugh, and his lips twist into that self-mockingly bitter line that I hate, that makes me ache inside.
“I told her it didn’t seem fair that Mikey got to have his kid, without any other contribution, while all I get to do is hand over my checkbook.”
I have no words, so I'll just steal Justin'syours: fucking cunt bitch. I hate the way the Munchers disregard Brian's love for Gus. And that there were never any expectations of Michael to help support his daughter just pissed me off no end. Legally, I'd assume that since Michael had partial custody, *he's* the one who would be expected to pay, while Brian, who foolishly and generously gave up his rights, wouldn't owe support, since, you know, he doesn't have a child...
Loved the studio scene, too. Wonderful chapter, as always, Wren!
