7 Witches Page #2

You think she's picky now?

Shoulda seen her

when we were kids.

I don't think that's

entirely true.

She would always pitch such a

fit if dinner wasn't fish sticks

or chicken nuggets

and would usually

pout until dessert.

That was you!

Unh-unh.

It was a hazy time.

What's for dessert?

Are you sure you

haven't drank too much?

I'll be the judge

of that, my friend.

This reminds me of Nam.

Oh, god.

The Sklars aren't really

so fond of the military.

14 hours humping through the

bush, death around every corner.

Let me just say

a woman would have

been like heaven.

Maybe two.

You haven't lived 'til

you've had a couple of women

and a hot...

Dad!

Ribeye.

Anyone else feel

like throwing up?

I'd kill for a ribeye.

Oh, now, dad, come on.

The food they've

made is delicious.

We only have land meat

on special occasions.

Sweetheart forgive me,

a wedding isn't a

special occasion?

- The wedding is, grandpa.

- This bonfire isn't.

There will be red meat

at the wedding.

Everyone will get

something they like.

- Why are you looking at me?

- I didn't say anything.

Just figured you might.

Remind me to stay

on her good side.

How much wine have you had?

Oh, I'm glad you're

keeping track.

I have two dads here now?

Ow! Ow!

No, thank you.

Why are you so rude?

Rude? Who's being rude?

I'm not hungry!

You're insulting

my new family...

Who's insulted? Tell me.

By starving yourself

instead of eating their food.

I'm not starving! I

brought some granola bars.

Oh my god...

Oh, what? You'd rather have

me get sick from something?

So now you're saying this

food will make you puke,

when I'm the one who

struggles with bulimia.

- Classy.

- Bulimia?

Since when did you start

pretending to have that?

Kate, let's take a walk.

You put two Boyles in

a room, you get a fight.

When you put five...

You get a war.

Something like that.

Listen, Kate,

if you have a problem

with this, just say it,

but, rose asked if

it would be okay.

Mom's ring.

I told her I'd clear

it with you first.

So if you're not comfortable

with it, I'll let her know.

Yeah. That would be a fun

conversation for you.

Well, I can take it.

I'm fine. Give it to her.

Seriously, I'm cool with it.

That'll work too.

Everybody's getting along.

Who knew, all it took

to bring us together

was a cookout with

the Addams family.

I don't even care at this point.

Oh daddy!

Ah.

First come, first

serve, I guess.

Ah, sh*t, this is wine.

- What? You drank it?!

- Perfect.

No, no. He can't

have alcohol.

Honey I'm right here.

Oh, I think you got

my cup. Sorry, dad.

That's ten years of

sobriety down the drain.

Is he dying? Is there

a lampshade on his head?

Okay. You don't know

what it's like!

Having a stick up my ass?

- No, I don't.

- Everybody...

- How dare you!

- A whole tree.

People, let's just act

like grownups here.

It's no big deal. Look!

Or like children.

- Atta boy!

- Oh, oh, that's great!

You just take a swan dive

right off the wagon!

He's an adult. He'll survive.

- You don't know that!

- You don't know...

Neither do you, Stephanie!

Two years isn't the same thing

as an entire f***ing childhood.

Are you high?

No.

Would you like to be?

It is exquisite

how those people can work

together to become the most

unbearable force in the world.

I swear, this is my

last family gathering.

As far as any future

boyfriends are concerned,

I grew up an orphan.

Olivia twist.

And no more Codys, please.

My appointment at planned

parenthood will ensure that.

Oh. Oh.

That's why you've been

drinking so heavily.

There was this one guy

that knocked me up,

utter sociopath,

off-the-grid type.

I don't know what

I was thinking.

He... he had more guns

than towels,

and knew more about dressing a

deer than pleasing a woman.

I think the last time Cody

got me off all by himself,

I don't think we knew

each other's last name.

Ha!

It's them.

The matriarch?

Not out there,

but they wouldn't

travel without her.

She'd be ancient by now.

You know how they are.

Do they think

everyone's forgotten?

They know what they're doing.

I told you Boyle was practically

begging me on the phone

to reopen those vacation houses.

They looked so normal.

I'll call Gus.

Congratulations, I guess.

You don't know how

close you came

to being wiped off the face

of this earth for good.

Plenty of folks around here

remember what you are.

Enjoy this while you can.

Dead.

Dead.

Dead.

Dead.

Dead.

Dead.

You know that little cartoon

where the Saint Bernard

has a barrel of booze,

and he brings it to the guy in

the snow and it warms him up?

I think so.

Total bullshit. I'm full

of wine and I'm freezing.

Just one more day...

Now what?

God knows.

Ah, we should give 'em

some privacy. Come on.

Come on, that's your

sister getting felt up.

What...

What are they doing?

Do I really need to

explain it to you?

When a woman loves

another woman...

Dude they're not having sex.

What the f***?

Well, is this...

Any different than her coming

home with a tattoo at 14?

I mean, not really.

Or attempting suicide every

semester in high school?

Wait, I've seen that.

Look, this is probably

just another one of those

whacko Sklar things.

We don't need to see this.

Oh, my god.

That's the woman that I saw...

Come on, come on. Let them

have their room.

So that wasn't, I don't know,

Aggie's grandmother?

No. No. It was a

completely different person.

You're drunk and high.

Not earlier I wasn't!

Well, I wasn't there

earlier, but, you know,

eyewitness reports are

notoriously unreliable.

Maybe it was a

walrus or something.

It wasn't a fricking walrus for

chrissakes. Come on,

I mean, can't you just entertain

the notion that maybe there is

some creepy old woman wandering

around out here and...

Helping your sister with

body modification?

Look who's best buds.

He's told me about

the intricacies of

collegiate football.

Sounds like a scorcher

of a conversation.

I'll be somewhere, not here.

Do you wanna go to bed?

I do.

I'd prefer you not

repair to bed quite yet.

I am enjoying this talk.

Uh...

Well, I'm going to repair to

my assuredly spinning bed.

Goodnight.

Night.

So, uh...

I think...

Love is a bit more

complicated than that. I mean...

It's as simple as

you want it to be.

Hey.

Oh hi!

Where have you been?

Just, uh, right here!

Good evening.

So Cody, how are you doing?

I...

Am surprisingly good.

Come.

Where are we going?

The air is different

out here, isn't it?

I only lived in Seattle

for a short while,

and I felt like I was choking.

Yes. I know exactly

what you mean.

It feels just free,

like we don't have to

worry about anything.

No rules, no judgments.

We live a different

life out here.

We don't have to think the

way we do in other places.

It's beautiful.

You're beautiful.

What are we doing?

Like you don't know...

This isn't right.

Isn't it?

I've seen you looking at us.
