Oh boy. Malcolm is going to love when I have to go shake down his dad. Super looking forward to that conversation.
I have never asked him for a dime. The only time I've let him foot the bill was buying a new outfit because he's trying to My Fair Lady me up before our big brunch showdown.
[ Yes, she did see that. Jessica ran a background check because of course she did. ]
Hopefully that means you're keeping up your good behavior then. I'm saying that it appears he's grown very attached to you. I don't want him to have to go through any more loss.
I choose my battles when it comes to Malcolm. Right now I have to ask myself if his girlfriend is really the hill that I want to die on. You're certainly not what I would have picked though.
I'm glad to hear that. He's a good man, even if he thinks he isn't.
I'm glad to hear that. Are you sleeping in the same bed with him? Please note that I'm asking because of the restraints. I'm well aware that the two of you are having sex.
Even when I found the underwear, I assumed it was just sex. He's a young man and young men have needs. Really, all of us have needs, if I'm being honest.
[ Harley thinks Malcolm might hire professional company under very specific circumstances, but also thinks that's a weird debate to have with his mother, so she'll just let this one go. ]
I often do
[ Wait is that a weird thing to talk about too? She doesn't know shit about appropriate boundaries. ]
We don't share a bed. I sleep in the spare room if I stay over. He's too scared he'd hurt me on accident.
[ The Whitly family doesn't know what boundaries are, so it's all good. ]
For good reason. He hit me several times as a child when I was trying to restrain him during his night terrors. No major injuries, but he always felt bad about it when he woke up. I could handle him when he was a boy, but when he got older it became too difficult.
Of course not. I'm sure he'd hate to think of you in pain, especially if he knew he was the cause of it. My son tends to carry guilt around like a hundred pound weight on his shoulders.

I need to know that your interest in my son isn't purely financial.

I see. That's not that surprising that he would want to do that. I am going to take you at your word.
I'm sure you've realized that Malcolm is very vulnerable.
no subject
I know. And I think we both know he's got a thing for chasing bad ideas. But I'm not going to be another thing that hurts him.

Isn't that a difficult promise for someone who's been in and out of prison to make?

I don't have any plans on going anywhere as long as he wants me around. Malcolm is one of the few good things that's ever happened to me.
Plus if we split Sunshine would be devastated
Hey can I ask you something now?

You may.

For medical reasons.

[ Maybe there is a boundary after all. Sort of. Jessica probably wouldn't actually mind knowing. She's morbidly curious. This family is messed up. ]
Point being, he's not going to ever put you in any sort of harm's way. He'd rather die himself than let that happen.
no subject
[ Or at least, never admitting it. ]
I know he wouldn't. It was pretty weird for me at first tbh. He's
Very different
From what I'm used to

My son is a good man, despite all of his issues. All I want is for him to be happy.
