"Flo, what's wrong?" Scarlett asked sitting next to the younger woman on the couch. Florence crashes in her arms sobbing. "I've got you, you'll be okay." Scarlett soothed the other blonde stroking her hair.

She knew that in her state Florence won't be able to explain anything. So she opted for the solution to calm her down before knowing what the problem was. It took a good fifteen minutes for Florence to calm down, now she was just laying her head on Scarlett's lap with a tear-stained face. "Do you want to talk about it?" Scarlett softly asked while she continue to comb her fingers through her friend's long hair.

Florence shakes her head sniffing. "It's fine if you don't want to. Do you want to stay like that?" Florence nodded appreciating her best friend's presence and understanding.

"Tell me a part of your story with Lizzie please." Florence mumbled wanting to get her mind off of her problem what's better than to listen to the other's problem. "What do you want me to tell you."

"I don't know you always tell me the nice thing I want to know that like every relationship yours isn't a fairytale." Florence said turning so she's on her back using Scarlett's lap as a cushion with her feet lightly dangling from the couch. "We aren't I'm just telling you the good part because it's what his interesting but if you want one drama I've got some from the lockdown."

Florence nodded telling Scarlett that she wanted to know more. "Okay so like everyone in the world the lockdown was hard on the morale. Even harder when Rose went at her father's since we didn't have a distraction anymore." Scarlett started saying absently looking at her feet. She was ashamed of this story but if it's what Florence wanted it's what Florence will have.

"I hate this." Lizzie whined flopping down on her bed next to Scarlett. The older woman was sitting on the covers with her reading glasses on and a book in her hand. They were preparing to go sleep and Scarlett was waiting for Lizzie to leave the bathroom. "Stop complaining sweetie it won't change a thing."

"I want to go out and do things again, have some humans contact other than you. No offense love." Lizzie said sheepishly grunting while she sat on the bed correctly. "None taken. I know what you mean but we have to be patient it will soon calm down."

"I think it will take time for it to calm down. Can you believe it like we are in an actual pandemic and lockdown?" Lizzie said thoughtfully it was crazy for her, like one day everything was fine and the next they were confined at home.

"I know it was fine at first like we had a break from filming and we did a lot of activities just the three of us. Then when we were just the two of us we put our free time to good use." Scarlett said with a side smirk, making her girlfriend blush. She chuckled and get up to go brush her teeth. "But now it's just so boring we have nothing to do."

Lizzie hummed in answer still thinking about what they did and how many times they did the first week Rose went to live with her father since it was his turn to have her. "Gosh Lizzie how many do I have to tell you, close the fucking toothpaste tube." Scarlett complained, then she process to clean her teeth.

"But I knew you would use it just after me." Lizzie defended herself grimacing. She knew Scarlett hate it when she didn't clean after herself. "It's not an excuse please I'm tired to clean after you like I clean after Rose." Scarlett sighed walking back into the bedroom.

"I'm sorry really, I'll be careful. Oh about Rose did you notice that she still has problems communicating?" Lizzie asked while she push the cover back with Scarlett helped to climb on the bed. "I mean yeah but she's only five." Scarlett answered on the defensive.
