< before theyโre subjected to the worldโs torment again. Maybe if they donโt appear so content, if she leaves, nothing bad will happen to either of them. Wishful thinking.
She tuts softly, shaking her head.
โYou know me so well, Isaac.โ
She reaches a hand back for one of >
English
Even if he does come across it, she could always say it was one she forgot to unpack from when work took her out of town. Even their icy vacation.
She isnโt sure what would be worse. One of them losing the other due to circumstances outside their control, or a clean break >

Itโs not a bad hiding place. She knows him well enough to know where heโd be oblivious and where heโd had let down his guard. Sheโs not wrong. Good things donโt last in their lives. One of them is always pulled away or stolen or leaves. But theyโve always found their way back. โ
English
< The thing that they bond on, the violence. Sometimes it feels like thatโs all that there is.
She returns, silent as ever, vaulting over the back of the sofa to land on her side as casual as a normal person sits.
โHow long did they say?โ
Tipping her head back to watch him.
English
She kicks her mostly packed duffle up under the bed, slipping out of her clothes to get into a matching set of sweats.
Things have been good. Thatโs kind of the problem. Good things donโt last for her. They never have. Might be why she puts herself so heavily into the work. >

An interesting theory. โAnything you want, mi corazรณn.โ He dialed in the number and waited for the voice on the other end so their order could be placed. She had time to hide her bag while he was on the phone, oblivious to what was happened on the other side of the thin โ

@RebornToRedeem < bike and drive too many miles up north to her fatherโs old hunting lodge and isolate herself. He wonโt be there when she gets back if sheโs gone long enough. Then againโฆshe was here for him almost three years later.
English
@RebornToRedeem < also told her how much this shouldnโt be a thing. If she lost him again, the grief would crush her. She barely stomached it once. She canโt do it again. Not when sheโs so powerless to it. Easier if she does it to herself, if itโs directly her to blame.
Easier to take her >
English
She supposes he got all he really wanted from her anyway. Some company and bragging rights. Thatโs what she tells herself. Rationalizing her behavior further.
Heโs always known sheโs the kind to run when things get too comfortable. That hasnโt changed since heโs been gone. >
Jason@RebornToRedeem
It'll be easier. In time.
English
@RebornToRedeem Glad sheโs such a comfortable place for him to land. Sheโll sign the lease over to him, if he likes her place so bad. Sheโll just stay out of town.
English
@comeswithblades That's one way to look at it. But there isn't much more to read into other than "I'll be here."
So he'll do that. Right here, until she's back. Her place feels better anyway.
English
โOkay.โ
She should probably feel worse about this. Just got him back and sheโs ditching him for no genuine reason other than her own aversion to getting comfortable. Thereโs no work. Sheโs not even going that far.
โIโll see you then.โ
Jason@RebornToRedeem
"Of course. See you when you get back. I'll be here." Not judgement. Not caution. Just certainty.
English
โThank you.โ
She stares at him for a moment, like thereโs more she wants to say. She doesnโt say anything. Canโt find the words, or just doesnโt want to.
Jason@RebornToRedeem
Yeah, simple enough. Nothing reckless.
English
Yeah.
Look, Iโve got to go out of town for a little bit. Promise you wonโt do anything too reckless while Iโm gone?
Jason@RebornToRedeem
I can respect that. Half the time, I don't want to either.
English
Theyโll buy it once it works.
โDecisions, decisions.โ
She rubs the side of her head in thought. Makes her sick to her stomach at how readily she can lie to him. She should feel worse about it. She doesnโt, though.
โYou surprise me. Iโm going to go put on some comfy clothes. >
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐@ASoldiersRage
Who is she trying to convince with that one? Because it doesnโt sound like something either of them would buy. โGood. Which flavor do you want?โ He picked up the phone, scanning their wall of various takeout and delivery menus for the right number. โI think Iโll do beef โ
English
I donโt exist where theyโre concerned.
Jason@RebornToRedeem
Fair. I'll say less. I'll say nothing.
English
Wonโt be that bad if they never have the conversation. It canโt be worse if it never happens.
โDress up? No. Ramen sounds fine.โ
She raises a hand to ruffle her curls some. Pulling on a smile.
โI donโt want to dress up either.โ
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐@ASoldiersRage
โWe could do ramen. Cheap. Bad for us. Easy to make.โ Neither of them ever really wants to talk, but they still should. Itโll be worse if they donโt. โDepends on where you would want to go. And if I have something nice to wear.โ A little joke, the faintest smile on his lips.
