It’s not even officially summer and the heat can already fuck off. Let’s just fast forward right back to fall. I’ll only tolerate it if I get to enjoy the beaches any time it gets remotely warm. Seems simple enough right? 

You want to deny this town the opportunity to see a body that good in a skimpy 2 piece designed solely to show everything off while leaving the best parts to the imagination? Damn, that’s not the welcome I was hoping for, not gonna lie.

I’m sorry. But feel free to keep throwing out the compliments, gorgeous.

Ooh, and he’s flirtatious. If there’s more of us this around maybe I won’t have such unhappiness about this move after all.

That was smart because I can’t remember the last time I saw clear sky around here.

I might get some of those stickers people in New York apartments put on their windows so it looks like an exotic beach or something. I’d love to be on an exotic beach right now.

I am, actually. I was born and raised here in Gradian. I just really like the sun which isn’t great living here I suppose.

Don’t you at least go on holiday?

Well, nice to meet you. I’m Evan. Just making sure I’m covering my bases. I’m two month sober in a couple days. Beauty spots? Like good views on a hike? Cause i can definitely do that.

Evan, cute name. Two months huh? You go man, you do what you got to do, that’s awesome. I’m a sucker for a hike with a beauty spot at the end of it, so if you ever need a girl to walk the sober path and climb a mountain with you, i’m a good call.

I wish I was. I miss the sun. Ah, well, I’m sure I’ll meet her eventually then.

Ah, so you’re not from around here then?

I haven’t googled Gradian to see what comes up but now I’m curious.

Mostly grey skies and pale buildings. They try to fool you with the odd clear skied photo but i’m not that easily fooled.

If you like the sun, this isn’t the place for you. 

You know, you’re not inspiring me with much confidence in my decision to move, handsome stranger.

I have seen the sun here a few times. I did forget what I looked like for a while there. As for your sister, I don’t think I’ve seen her around yet.

I’m sincerely hoping that you’re pulling my leg, this girl needs sun to thrive. Oh, i’m sure you will soon enough, she likes to make her presence known — I think it’s a family trait.

Oh? I don’t think we’ve met… I mean I suppose I can show you around. You’ll just have to find someone else to show you the party scene.

No, we haven’t, until now, and God bless for that. I’m Bailey. Who said anything about the party scene? I want to see the beauty spots, and a cafe that serves up a decent full English.

I really think i need someone to show me around Gradian from another point of view. I keep going back to the same places and half of those i can’t even be since the whole sobriety. Someone help.

You know, i’m in need of a tour guide myself — this place is tiny and I still somehow get lost. What do you say we both help each other out?

Um excuse me you really think i would forget how you are doing this with style is what we do. Hands off she may be the best looking person in this town but she is 100% mine you hear me.

Uhmmm, no, you can’t claim her before i’ve ever had a chance to look, that’s beyond unfair.

OMG. Who is that incredible looking person walking over to me. About damn time that you got here it feels like I’ve been waiting forever. Trust me when the sunshines you’ll love this place. Speaking of loving just you wait till you meet my neighbour.

What do you want me to do? I had a lot of stuff to move, a lot of furniture to buy, and since when do I do things by halves? If i’m going to do an arrival, it’s going to be in style. Ooooh, is she/he/they a hottie? I’m already excited.

TWO? unsavoury thoughts running through my mind. 

You know what’s even better than two? Three. But there’s only two of us, so it’s not gonna get much better than this.
