Happy, er — Thursday? Yeah, I gave myself an extra day this week because Monday was a holiday here in BC, and we actually did a TON of Family Enrichment Activities instead of hiding inside from the heat and smoke. And now I have a tan and a bunch of bug bites! Hooray!
The story continues, though! <3

TRANSCRIPT
Panel 1 (Imogen’s kitchen window, from outside)
Imogen, off-panel: So… was he there?
Alex, off-panel: No, he’d already gone to work.
Imogen, off-panel: Good. I don’t really want to face him…
Panel 2 (inset, Alex looking angry)
Alex: You have nothing to be ashamed of! He’s the asshole! You don’t have to make it better, that’s his job.
Panel 3 (Imogen, side-view, looking pensive)
Imogen: But I NEED to figure this out with him. He’s my whole life. I don’t know, like… what do normal people do? Do we go to therapy? He won’t. He wasn’t even sorry.
Panel 4 (inset, close-up of Imogen’s fidgeting hands. Her ring has been removed)
Imogen: He didn’t even say he loved me. Just that he loved out life.
Panel 5 (Alex coming up out of her chair, mirthful, while Imogen blushes and looks away)
Alex: Of course he said that! Who wouldn’t love to have their every need fulfilled by a total babe?
Imogen: Alex…
Alex your gay just jumped out there huh~
I love my disaster lesbian, also Imogen, this isn’t like only trying to be supportive and stuff, she actually knows you are a babe! Accept the compliment
It’s a really difficult position to be in, probably doubly so given the kids, but I’m really hoping she can see a life after him, and an identity that includes “mother”, but doesn’t solely include it.
Sometimes you just gotta say what you see!
haaahaha don’t let it show too soon, alex!
Also i absolutely love reading the transcript, it helps me understand the page a lot better, so thank you! I did notice it has a typo, saying “out” instead of “our”.
