40 FICTIONAL FEMALE DYNAMICS 6. Kate Whistler x Lucy Tara (NCIS: Hawai'i)

But I love you. I don't know how - I don't know how else to prove it to you. And I can't go another day without you, Lucy. I will do it right this time and I swear I will not - Shut up already.

I won't lie. I fucking hate how the cult of feminity takes spontaneity out of female relationships. I ask my mom if she wants to get sushi. She says yes. I sit on the couch for twenty minutes waiting for her to finish her makeup and hair. I am hungry and do not care and just to spend time with my mom. I ask my sister-in-law if she want to go to pool. She says yes. I sit and wait forty five minutes for her shave her legs. I haven't shaved my legs for over a year and I have just as much fun. Even in emergency situations. When I was in a mental health crisis, I had to wait twenty minutes alone with a campus officer for my cousin to show up because she was doing her makeup. All the women in my life come with a delay. I come to expect the phrase, "Hang on, I just have to-" when I do not care. Is my companionship not enough? Or must you perform for the world as well?
