This isn't about embarrassing us. You don't think this is also about giving you the break? Letting you breathe. Letting the initial shock and awe die down and, in the process, give you rest. I thought you liked our summers in Saltburn.
You're acting like I passed you across boarding schools like a tray of cocaine. Who's idea was it to get expelled? Not mine.
Because there are some things this family has to uphold, whether we like it or not.
You would know if you had a hand in mine and your uncle's business, or your grandfather's. We aren't just a family, we're representatives. Your grandfather you loved so much did that.
We were denounced by the archdiocese. I had to offload a month's worth of inventory and pay off a reporter. You can never do anything halfway. Or, the right way. I don't like my priests being pedophiles, but I don't become Tony Soprano.
No, you want to sleep with older men, film it and then take no responsibility when someone gets their hands on it. Business is business. You want to look down on it, that's your choice.
Teo, you want to change the world. Grow up, my son.
What right way is that? Report him? They just cover these things up, everyone knows that.
And what responsibility would you have me take? I'm not apologizing. I'm not sorry. We were consenting adults that both enjoyed ourselves, and your judgment says more about you than me. If it hadn't been found, you wouldn't even care.

He actually loved me the way that I am. So maybe you should stop trying to understand before you drop dead, too.

Date: 2025-06-02 04:14 am (UTC)btw, nonno knew about it for months before it was leaked. And he didn't judge me for it the way you do.
I think we've spent more time together now than we have in years because you need to wrangle me so I don't embarrass you again.

I'd breathe better at the beach.

You breathe fine, here.

Date: 2025-06-02 04:58 am (UTC)Listen to me, then. I'm not embarrassed by it. I don't need to run and hide from it all summer.

Date: 2025-06-02 05:04 am (UTC)So if I'm not upset about it, why are you?

Date: 2025-06-02 03:15 pm (UTC)Why are we still talking about it, then?

Date: 2025-06-02 03:16 pm (UTC)We're not! If you're going to keep dating older men, make sure they're not cowards. Love you.
