Jeremy and Hannah

“What’s your problem, Jeremy?” Hannah says with ever-increasing exasperation.

“I just feel like I’m trapped,” Jeremy says, “I have no way out, you know? No. You wouldn’t know. You never know.”

“That’s because you never give me a chance,” Hannah’s eyes well up on queue.

“Oh, don’t you try to trap me, too!” Jeremy yells. “I need an advocate right now, and you are so not being my advocate right now.”

Hannah tries to get a word in, but Jeremy continues.

“Helpmeet! You’re supposed to be a helpmeet! Helpmeet? That’s a word, right? I’m pretty sure it’s a word. Helpmeet. Helpmeet?”
