That's because he's Fergus. Everyone should like him right away.
[... except for Theon, apparently, but she expected that.]

[ Now that they're both standing, Bree reaches out to give her mom a proper hug, arms around her, face slightly buried against her neck before she murmurs. ]
Goodnight. Thank you for the pancakes.

I dyed Theon's hair for him. Next time you see him, let him know it looks nice. It matters to him.
And to think I ever worried about my hair.

His hair wasn't always white as snow. I'd been putting it off for months, but I finally sat him down and dyed it for him. He looks a little less like an old man, now.
[The teeth are still bad, but... she'll get to that.]

I don't even know what to say to this.
[ She'd actually laughed out loud because she thought it was a joke. ]

He wasn't hard on the eyes, once. Fairly vain too, really. Always dressed nicely.
You would have probably tried to shove him into a garbage bin.

You started this by telling me to lie to Theon about how good he looks.
I've met plenty of cute boys here that are perfectly suitable.
[ So, THERE. ]

[Lord, Claire just felt a chill.]
Jesus, Bree, not like that.
Firstly, it's not a lie. He looks better. He's still too thin and too pale, but he looks more alive, now. You used to straighten you hair and it made you happy, didn't it? Coloring his hair, making him look the way he'd like to be seen, makes him happy. Some reassurance would help.
Secondly, no.

[ Bree lets out a breath and tilts her head back, getting it but she should have just been able to say something on her own! Now it's going to feel forced and like a lie no matter what. ]
Fine.
And yes.
Fine.
And yes.
Your dating life is your own [But what about Roger?] and I'd never encourage you towards Theon. He's a sweet boy, underneath the damage, but not a boy anyone should be in a relationship with for some time.
[Not now. Not ever, maybe.]
[Not now. Not ever, maybe.]
oh my god WHAT?
I wasn't talking about Theon, what is wrong with you??
[ Bree may be from 1968 but boy has she caught up with the youth's ways of texting. ]

I can read well enough without that.
I was just saying, since it's apparently what you think my intentions are.

This is the most insane conversation I've had since I learned how to text.
I'll tell him whatever you want, okay?

That's.
Mom what are you doing, do you even know what that means?

You just want your mother to type "shit with eyes," don't you?
[ Bree laughs so hard before she can even reply. ]
I mean, who knows if you really understood what those things were or not.
[ Brianna's young, she learns things quickly, she's got this. ]
Glad you confirmed it for me.

You're welcome.
Now you have to tell me who the cutest boy is here.
Now you have to tell me who the cutest boy is here.
Oh, please. You can make up a name. Just tell me what he looks like.
