[ shortly after peter comes out on the network, cora decides to give adam a very angry call. she'd resort to text, but adam's a little too flippant sometimes to possibly take her seriously. and this is a matter of incredible significance. she'd lost someone of great importance to her before; she's none too keen to see other people she cares about end up six feet under, too. (or half-buried; he hadn't respected laura enough to properly bury her.) ]

My uncle's here. [ out of all the family members, it's him. it's clear cora's angry by how clipped her own tone is. if that could convey everything she wants to say to him, it'd make this a hell of a lot easier. but adam knows nothing about her family — that's her fault. ] His name's Peter Hale. I don't know what your social calendar's like, but if you talk to him, don't trust a word that comes out of his mouth.

[ she has, several times over, and she's been fucked over for it. ]
