In the past couple of weeks, Beth has realized they're kind of at the point in their lives where all that money she's been saving up for Carl is actually going to become necessary. Or it will be, anyway, if he decides he wants to use it, which means they sort of need to talk about it.
All the major decisions she's made, quitting school and dedicating herself to music full time, they're decisions she talked through with Carl first, because it hadn't just been her life that would change if she couldn't make it work. He'd supported her through all of it, wanted her to do what she needed to, and it's paying off now. Maybe they're never going to be rich off her music, but the show at the Majestic is coming up in just a few weeks and most of the tickets have already been sold and she knows, if the show goes well, it only goes up from here.
She wants the same thing for Carl. Whatever it is he might want to do, she wants to be able to help him with that and so as she reaches for the cloth on the kitchen table and uses it to wipe Judith's hands clean of the food she'd just been stuffing into her mouth, she catches Carl's gaze and grins. If nothing else, she figures the money will be a nice surprise.
"Hey, can you put her plate in the dishwasher?" she asks. "She's covered in spaghetti sauce."
She needs to tell him about Jason, too. Judith has met him, but it's Carl who's probably going to look at him suspiciously, especially if he shows up here without Beth having mentioned him. Of course, she's pretty sure he'd never do that, but it's still a conversation that needs to be had.
