Transcript

*Birds fly over the trees as Daisy and Abbey walk home together.*
Daisy: So what are you planning this summer, Abbey?
Abbey: Hmm?

*Daisy winces slightly. She is wearing a backpack and holding a book close to her chest.*
Daisy: They’re skipping me to pre-calc.. .. so I have a lot of preparation to do. Maybe if we could find a time..
*Abbey looks down at Daisy, smiling sweetly.*
Abbey:

*Abbey scratches his cheek, frowning a little.*
Abbey: I was thinking about.. What you said before..
Daisy: .. Hm?

*Abbey keeps looking ahead, avoiding Daisy’s gaze.*
Abbey: I’m gonna go try seeing a counselor over the break.
*Daisy glances at Abbey in surprise, her eyes wide.*

*Abbey goes silent. Daisy looks proud of him.*

*Abbey looks up to the sky, frowning.*
Abbey: The way I act isn’t normal.. I guess it’s to do with my father and everything that happened.. I need to work this out so I can get better.

*Daisy throws herself at Abbey, wrapping her arms around him and hugging him tight. His eyes go wide in surprise.*
Daisy: Don’t worry, Abbey. I’m gonna be there for you every step of the way..

Daisy: I’ll be here for you all summer long, you hear? I got your back!
*Abbey smiles bashfully down at Daisy.*
Abbey: Daisy..

*Abbey looks off into the distance again.*
Abbey:

*The scene transitions to Abbey’s living room, where the corner of a couch can be seen. A framed wedding photo of Abbey’s adoptive parents hangs above a small end table with a table lamp.*
Abbey: Thank you.
*Abbey unlocks the door.*

*Janet sits on the sofa, reading a book. She’s smiling quietly.*

Abbey: .. Hey, Janet?
*Janet glances up, startled. She closes her book partway.*

*Janet looks at Abbey.*
Janet: Abbey! I didn’t hear you come in!
*Abbey stands awkwardly, frowning a little.*
Abbey: Um..

*Janet frowns in concern, one hand covering her chest.*
Janet: Are you alright?
Abbey: It’s a little hard to say, but..

*Abbey looks down, refusing to look at Janet. He’s shaking nervously.*
Abbey: You know how you said you’d always be there if I was ready to talk..
*Janet looks at Abbey compassionately, reaching out one hand to him.*
Janet: Oh, sweetheart..

*Daisy stands on the sidewalk outside Abbey’s house, watching through the living room window as Abbey and Janet hug.*

*Daisy smiles gently and takes one last glance over her shoulder at Abbey’s house. Ahead of her, the street lights are coming on.*

*Daisy begins her walk home.*
END

Author commentary

Veronica: Daisy and Abbey are bondiiiing~

At least something wholly positive came out of “Love My Way”, this is the help Abbey desperately needed. Hopefully his journey isn’t too rocky!

Glad to see these kids actually talking to their parental figures, too!

Oliver: Sayonara, grid comics. I like to think final-two-panels Daisy is thinking of them.
