@CraftyCalamity Maybe... but you shouldn't. [@CraftyCalamity certainly deserved better than me, but as long as I was around I would do the best I could to not be a total dick.]
I've been around. No volcanoes this trip. [Chuckling softly as I moved to take Kady in my arms.] I've missed you.
@CraftyCalamity Jesus, Kady! [It felt like an eternity since I had seen her, and this was going way too fast given those circumstances. But I certainly didn't mean to be so hasty and clumsy in my retreat; stumbling over my own two feet, my back meeting the way with a thud.] How about we start --
@CraftyCalamity For a ride. [The inflection of my words was unmistakable, wandering eyes erasing any doubt that may have been left floating about.
Leaning forward to whisper in her ear.] You wanna come with?
@CraftyCalamity What?! [Her call was expected, but I had to make my reaction as real as possible. The next words out of her mouth though... left me momentarily at a lose.] Uhhh... yeah, sure. One for the road, right?
@CraftyCalamity Okay....! [I was fidgeting foot to foot, just as awkward as Quentin. Fuck. She had me in a corner and she knew it.
It made made me want to scream.] Ya know what...fuck you. [I slid the bottle across the bar top before stepping off toward the front door.]
@CraftyCalamity Yeah. Sure thing. [I just passed over my own, taking her glass and filling it for myself. The contents were emptied without fanfare this time, I didn't feel like losing a second one. Without being asked, I filled both our cups again.] Whatever you say, gorgeous.
@CraftyCalamity Mmmm... I bet. [I really didn't know what was up, but drinks seemed like a good thing right about now. Eliot I was not, so we were settling for simple whiskey on the rocks.] Here ya go... bottoms up. [Raising a salute.]
