“Hey, just because I think my twin is prettier than me doesn’t mean I don’t know my own worth. There are people alive today that wouldn’t be without me.”
Tom smiled slightly. “Sorry about that..”
“You didn’t know about it. It’s okay.” She raked her fingers back through her hair.

“You think not? It’s really amazing how much we get programmed to say things without realising it. But okay, let’s just follow that for a bit — what makes you say I’m so nice?”
“Okay, well we haven’t met so terribly long ago, yet you invited me into your house, watched for a bit..I don’t think that you’re mean, or anything of those..”
“See how little you can come up with?” Summer shrugged again. “I seem nice because I cheat. I know when people can be trusted, and when they can’t. Now you, there’s shadows in there, right enough, but you’ve never let them rule you. You have a good heart, and everything that’s happened to you has made it stronger.”
Tom looked down for a moment, seeming to think about it. “Sorry, I really just don’t want people to think of themselves so lowly..it may be one thing to be humble, but..I really don’t know.”

“Ah, but we were talking about pretty. That’s about looks. Nice is … nice is what you tell a girl when you don’t want to hurt her feelings. It’s an escape.”
“Okay, now then, why would I want to escape?”
“Escape from her romantic attachment, escape from a situation where she really is fishing for compliments … ” Summer shrugged. “It’s kind of a meaningless thing that sounds good.”
“I don’t really get people today, excuse me if I sound..’old fashioned’, but I wouldn’t really say it if I thought it was just a meaningless blurt..”

“Let me see.” Summer hitched herself up on one elbow to look at him. “We’ll set the issues of my build wholly aside for the moment. My mouth is too wide, my eyes too narrow, when I laugh I look like a horse, my forehead is too broad, and oh yes, I have no chest to speak of.”
“Does it matter of your looks? You’re terribly nice, but you think too little of yourself..” He said, leaning back on his hands that propped him up.

“Come on! Society’s full of little white lies, things people say because we can’t bear to face the shadows. No man who considered himself a good man would ever let a girl saying she’s not pretty slip by without correcting her.”
“But you are! Why do you think you aren’t?” He said, the frown still painted across his lips.

“Winter. She works for SHIELD.” She rolled her eyes a touch. “Yes we’re named that way on purpose, yes she’s my twin, no we don’t look alike. She’s prettier than I am.”
Tom smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, but you shouldn’t compare yourself to her..you are beautiful..” He said kindly but in a soft tone.
“Flattery will get you everywhere, darlin’, even if I know it’s an untruth. Are you just going to stand there looking awkward, or are you going to sit down?”
Tom frowned, one of his eyebrows arching a curve. “Oh, I’m sorry..” He sat down beside her with a somewhat tired sigh. “But I really don’t have reasons to lie to you..”

Tom walked over, pulling up a gentle smile to his lips. “Oh, nothing really, films and what not, and some company..” He shook his head. “And you? How are you?”
She shrugged, lying back down on the…
“Oh, I see..well, then..” Tom glanced around with her, wondering of what to talk about. “Excuse my curiosity, who is your sister?” The actor tilted his head again, just to be a bit curious as he usually was.
“Winter. She works for SHIELD.” She rolled her eyes a touch. “Yes we’re named that way on purpose, yes she’s my twin, no we don’t look alike. She’s prettier than I am.”
