The Scandal

"She has told me quite a bit about your childhood, but I think it's great that you're there for her. Not many people have that." She added.

---

"It was really good, one of the best I've had. Now I'll take you to the best burger place there is." He smiled back

She smiled, "Alright, thats a fair trade in my book,"

---

He nodded,"We're lucky we were separated," he told her,"With how our birth parents were - we are very fortunate - she doesn't remember much but I do,"

"Your adoptive parents are great people. They've obviously done very well by you and Evelyn. She's still young, she's entitled to mistakes every once in a while." She nodded

---

"How have you been holding up?" He asked softly.

He nodded,"Yes, she is entitled to mistakes I agree, just... as her brother I have higher standards for her than others - its kind of how I've always been," he murmured.

---

She smiled,"I've been better but, when I'm alone is when its the worst," she said meekly. "So I've been keeping myself busy writing out my education plans and ideas wondering which one I should try to have worked on first, I know if I try to put it all out at once the entire continent will explode."

"I'd love to hear some of jt," He smiled as they pulled in. "I'm here for you to talk to, whenever you need to. I know what it's like."

---

"Which is fair. She deserves nothing but the best like you said." She added. "You must hold everyone important in your life to high standards. Sister, girlfriend, employees.. Etc."

Liam smiled a little, “If I had girlfriend, I had have high expectations but I don’t. “ He said to her as he sighed, “With Evelyn it’s different, our mom was a prostitute and our dad well he was a drug addict, my mom was on the verge of losing her mind when we were taken from her – it just pains me to see my sister in a position that looks so closely to a escort.” He murmured gently.

---

Evelyn smiled a little, “I appreciate your willingness to listen,” she told him as she chewed on her cheek, “I’ve been wanted to reconfigure everything to do with the education system even what class the kids are taking and how long that’re taking them. In order to prepare them for the real world, college and middle school and high school shouldn’t be much different. I think it should be the same, whereas elementary school up to fifth grade should be as it is now but less focusing on standardized testing and no student left behind.” She explained to him.

“I think that school for those fifth grade and under should be about six hours a day, then have an after school bit to help with homework – which most schools already do, this will double as a day care for most kids because their parents work during the day and will also provide them time with the family so they don’t have to worry about home work,” she said to him smiling a little.

“I have high hopes for the education system but, I think change is necessary for development, and if the United States wants to even touch the top ten in education we have a lot of work to do, Sweden pays their students to attend school almost 200 a month! Because of the greed that has consumed our country they believe that its privilege to attend school not a right, so paying them wouldn’t happen here,” she murmured, “sorry – for the rambling,”

He shook his head with a small smile. "Don't worry, its cute." He smiled, walking inside the restaurant. "So, you would have to give a speech to congress."

---

"Do you have high expectations of yourself?" She asked. "But remember, the media twisted it around. She wasn't an escort, she got caught by a bad guy, simply put. But we're gonna get her out of it."

She blushed lightly as she looked at him, "Yes, I would and have to present well for it to even be considered. We all know how they feel about women having ideas," she joked lightly,

---

He sighed, "I do have high expectations for myself, I run my own business and expect perfection - I know thats not what was happening, but he gave her a lot of high priced gifts some worth over a hundred thousand dollars," he sighed a little.

She blushed lightly as she looked at him, "Yes, I would and have to present well for it to even be considered. We all know how they feel about women having ideas," she joked lightly,

---

He sighed, "I do have high expectations for myself, I run my own business and expect perfection - I know thats not what was happening, but he gave her a lot of high priced gifts some worth over a hundred thousand dollars," he sighed a little.

"Well of course, generally with these types of relationships, gifts are given to make it seem like he isn't as bad of a guy. And to make him feel better. We're going to get her out of it." She sighed.

---

"Unfortunately. But it's okay, we'll make it so good they can't help but agree." He nodded surely

She smiled a little,"Yeah, well I am hoping to change the way this country works and thinks - we need more change. We're one of the least intelligent developed countries, which isn't good,"

---

He nodded little, "I figured he manipulated her, but to this extent?"

"You'd be surprised with politicians. They'll do anything to help themselves," She murmured.

---

"Isn't the governor of new York planning to run for president soon though?" He asked curiously.

He nodded,"Of course they will, they're selfish and don't really care about anything but money,"

---

She nodded,"Yeah, he is," she said gently as she ran a hand through her hair, "he wanted me on his campaign,"

"But I will do everything in my power to make sure we show everyone what a piece of trash he is." She said seriously.

---

"You're too good for him." He murmured, looking at her. "I can't imagine someone like him running the country."

He nodded,"I'll help where I can, I'll send funeral lilies to his campaign," he teased.

---

"Me either," she said to him lightly, "I was stupid,"

She laughed a little. "That would be great, whatever shows that the hope is lost for him."

---

"We just made mistakes, which is okay. We'll fix it and everything will be okay," He said with a small smile.

She looked at him and noded,"Yeah, we'll be alright," she said to him.

---

He smiled a little, "I'll do what I can to help, I don't know much about politics like my sister but I can help,"

"The funeral flowers to the campaign sounds like a great idea." She laughed a little.

---

He squeezed her hand and smiled. "Alright, which burger do you want?" He asked, pointing to the menu.

He smiled a little,"I'll get on that then," he told her.

---

"If they have one with bacon and avacado and more than one pattie I'm on it," she said to him.

"Let me know when you send them, do me a favor and send them to Tristan Winters too." She smiled.

---

"They do," He said pointing it out. "We'll order ine of those then." He said with a smile. "And a bacon cheeseburger deluxe for me." He murmured, paying for it.
