[ he lets out a shuddering breath, grateful she doesn't ask in a lot of ways. but also... not. sometimes the saddest part about losing them is that no one else will ever know how amazing lisa and frank jr. really were. but this is about her now and as ever it's easy to shove his own baggage aside for someone else's, especially if it seems heavier. ]
That's usually something parents teach you. [ he nods, locking eyes with her again, the tiniest of wan smiles tracing his face. that she's becoming this amazing woman on her own is impressive to him okay. he can't help it.
and after all he'd discussed with poe... he still hates that he got her involved. but he knows, especially with the tone of her voice, that she doesn't regret what happened in his garage. sometimes it's near impossible, with text, to know if you truly understand anything or not. frank has never been much for talking, never put much stock in it at all, and yet here? in this place, even he's struggling to get by without verbal clues. ]
I hope you don't have to. [ and yet he'd call on her again, if he had to. ]
