"And it wouldn't be entirely right to just assume things."

"This seems pretty crystal clear."

"If there is something I've learned in all my years in living is that /nothing/ is that simple."

"Even when it is? There's always Occam's Razor."

"Cale. No." The sensation eased, and Lance straightened out again. "Because if anyone just assume things about her you and I both know she will throw it right back in their faces."

🌀

He scowled. "How the hell would she throw this back in our faces?"

"Screaming. Lots of screaming."

"Real mature."

●

"You're the one automatically assuming she's cheating on Zane."

2015-10-24 06:07:00

🌀

"They didn't talk for a month, it only even half-counts as cheating if it started during that time."

2015-10-24 06:08:54

●

"Even then, you're still assuming. If she really was cheating on him I would of known by now."

2015-10-24 06:09:34

"UGH. /Fine/. But if things get any weirder I'm looking into it."

2015-10-24 06:10:55

●

"Go ahead, but if you find something, please, for once don't just jump in."

2015-10-24 06:12:33

🌀

"Would you rather I let it get worse?"

2015-10-24 06:13:55

●

"I'd you come tell me so we can figure it out together."

2015-10-24 06:15:06

🌀

"Okay, sure. That sounds like a plan."

When the storm finally subsided, Ivory walked me home. We dodged puddles and dripping awnings hand in hand.

Finally, I emerged from the convenience store, where I'd been huddled for at least half an hour waiting for the rain to stop. Browsing can only keep one occupied for so long. I paused next to the door and checked the receipt against my change.

The storm ended, the power returned, and now it was time for Seculus to leave. Not...just yet though. Just a little bit longer, please? She decided to walk him home, and held his hand tightly. Her hair gentled blew in the night spring breeze.

🌀

I was smiling softly as we walked, until I sensed another angel and glanced up. ...he looked familiar.

As I was returning my money to my wallet, I looked around for the angel who was definitely in the area. Ah, him. Why the hell is he holding Ivory's hand? I was sure Zane got back with her.

2015-10-24 06:35:26

●

She noticed that he glanced at something. She looked up. Not something, someone. Oh. Well then. She didn't expect to see him ever.

2015-10-24 06:38:37

🌀

That's....Madison, right? He's coming towards us. Hold on. Wasn't this whole fiasco his fault?

Something's not right here. I squinted at them, pocketed my wallet, and approached at a quick pace. When I reached them I put out a hand and pressed the back of my finger against Ivory's forehead. "You're warm and flushed. Has the world ended?"

Wha--well, he's surprisingly sharp. ...what do we say?

2015-10-24 06:43:00

●

Oh well...this was one hell of a greeting. "Yes." She answered without really even thinking about it.

2015-10-24 06:43:59

🌀

"Why am I not surprised. Hell's finally frozen over, eh?" Seculus frowned a little and I rolled my eyes. "What, do you think I'm going to pull her hair or something? How is she blushing?" "...none of your business. Especially considering what you did with the /last/ bit of gossip you found out." "Thanks for ruining my attempts at friendly banter. I'm sure that made you feel very clever, didn't it." "Clever? No, I was making a point." I pulled my hand back.

2015-10-24 06:48:48

●

She gently squeezed Seculus's hand. "Madison, we really need to be getting him home, so if you don't mind....?"

2015-10-24 06:53:02

🌀

"We. Really. No, I don't mind going with you, thanks for inviting me. Oh, what's that? No, you were talking about your new boyfriend, my mistake."
