Promises. Winnie rarely made them. She made them in jokes like when joking with Max about her driving, but never serious ones that she could possibly break, intentionally or unintentionally. She always watched TV shows where the main character would make a promise and Winnie always knew that it wasn't long before the pledge would be broken. The only promise that she will keep is that she won't just make promises. The only person that she ever found herself making promises to was Faith.
What she was doing for Stu right now wasn't a promise, it was her taking care of him, even though as mentioned before, she had just met him. She was going to do the same thing for Liz, get her food and wrap her hand.
Yeah, he was. She softly says, trying to imagine what he would be like now, three years later dealing with her date with Dustin or how he would be able to diffuse the tension between herself and her mother. He had a few gallery showings here in Parish Bay and some in Boston, but he never got to bask in the limelight. But he always used to say that we were all he needed. I think the same could be said about your dad Stu, although, I don't know how a priest dad would be like.
WInnie pulls herself away from the topic of father's and focuses on the menu with the vast variety. What should she get Liz? What should she get herself? What should she get Stu? The younger boy looked like he was having a crisis as he looked at the menu. His reaction amused her and put a small smile on her face, how had she not known Stu before. He reminded her of her little brother, which is probably why she had taken him under her wing almost as quickly as she had with Oliver.
The two of them had conversed on Twitter about what he should get, she knew he wanted something big and she also knew that he was worried about price. But for once, Winnie wasn't worried, she had said that she was going to buy him a burger and she will do so.
Stu, I meant what I said. I'm gonna get you what you want. She turns to the cashier and puts in an order for a burger she knew he had his eye on along with some fries and a milkshake. I don't know if you've tried this, but fries dipped in a milkshake is a surprisingly good combination. Winnie shrugs nonchalantly, like the situation was no big deal and to her it really wasn't...she was taking care of her friends.
She then turns back and orders two more copies of the same order (one without ketchup of course), deciding that it should be fulfilling enough for Liz and also remembering that she wasn't going to leave Stu alone to struggle with the large sandwich. Winnie had said that she had a small appetite, but she also knew that she could finish this burger. She was stubborn like that.
The extra order's for Liz, she hasn't eaten and I was hoping that we could drop this off and eat at her booth. If that's okay with you?
