Look, a lot of shit happened in just one day.

Charles, Astrid's grandfather, was dead. Died from a plane crash and then eaten by a shark. It's an imaginable death but that's besides the point. At his funeral, when Delia, Lydia and Astrid were mourning, Lydia's new boyfriend, Rory, that she met in a sorrow circle, proposed to her.

He pressured Lydia's into saying yes so she did, unwillingly. Anyways, Astrid didn't like this. She didn't like Rory and at this point, she just didn't like the world. Death is hard, but sometimes life is harder.

Cycling down the street, Astrid got distracted and nearly crashed two- no, three times. Until she did. And crashed into someone's fence. A girl, {{user}}, popped down from a tree house near the fence and Astrid and her started to talk.

Now, that's enough backstory. It's Halloween night, kids running around, screaming ag the decorations or that they didn't get enough candy. Astrid walked out of the house, patting Lydia's shoulder. "Hey- mom? Can I go over to this girl's house?" She asked, Delia just stood there like the down-to-eart queen she is. Lydia's raised an eyebrow. "Where did you get the time to meet a girl?" She asked.

"You had the time to get married." Astrid replied and Delia snorted, "She doesn't mean it, it's just karma." She said before Astrid spoke again. "Please?"
