Chapter 26 Page 5 – When you’re just barely too-poised for a spit-take
Mar15
Bianca: Mmrgh . . . G’boy.
[London.]
Cohen: You’re sure you don’t want to do this later? It’s pretty early in the morning where you are . . .
Miranda: It’s fine. You’ve got meetings to get to later, right? I can always have a nap if I need it.
Right now, I want you to know . . .
. . . that I know where Patrick is.
[CHOKE]
Fingers crossed Bianca gives Cohen an epic ass chewing.
Yes, now we’re getting somewhere
Miranda, are you trying to get your dad to spit coffee all over his laptop?
Incidentally, this isn’t related to the current page aside from Cohen being in it, but I can’t believe it took me as long as it did to realize that Cohen/Bennett is a parallel for John Stewart/Steven Colbert. I suppose that just means Erin is good enough at distancing the characters enough that it’s not immediately apparent but also keeping them the same just enough that it’s not completely lost on people.
On the one hand, I’m happy with their development as well-rounded original characters who stand on their own, rather than thin expies or AU fic characters.
On the other…I did name the one guy “Stuart” XD
Lovely timing, Miranda. Absolutely lovely.
