"I feel like this year is just a little bit surreal for me, and I can't explain it at all." She looked at the person she was out with. "Do you feel that way too?" @rededgerpstarterblog

"Yeah, it's been an...interesting year, that's for sure."

Axel was standing outback of the gallery he owned and was smoking a cigarette. He had just gotten it lit and taken a puff when someone approached him and he raised a brow. "What's up? I promise I will help with whatever you need as soon as I'm done." @rededgerpstarterblog

"You're good man, I just wanted to come and talk to you. Seems like your gallery is really popping off."

"Hey, I was wondering when you'd show back up here." He teased as he handed his friend their favorite drink at the bar. "You know the first one is always on the house." @rededgerpstarterblog

"Man, I needed to come back here. How are you doing?" He asked as he took the drink.

"You mean to tell me, that after all these years, you still haven't asked your crush out? It's really not that hard, I mean, they aren't married or dead, are they?" @rededgerpstarterblog

"No, they're single, but I am not ready to be in a relationship right now."

"I'm sorry, what are you doing in my house? What time is it?" He looked at the person who was in his house. He clearly had gone all out the night before and was very much hungover. @rededgerpstarterblog

"I'm not going to lie, I'm surprised you're alive." Cam said with a laugh. "You were drunk as fuck last night. Do you remember anything?"

"I'm keeping these sunglasses." Gage said with a laugh. "When my NHL season starts up again, I'm wearing these out on the ice, what do you think?" @rededgerpstarterblog

"I think you shouldn't wear them on the ice, since that could be dangerous, but you should keep the sunglasses, they're pretty damn cool."

"So, you're telling me that we're in Japan for a whole month, and you want to try to find a McDonald's? Why?" @rededgerpstarterblog

"Japan does everything better, that's why. Plus, I really want some fries."

"I'm sorry, what makes you think you can talk to me like that? In my own store?" She cocked her head to the side and looked at the person who was being rude to her. "You can either 1) Leave my store and not come back or 2) Talk to me in a respectable way and I'll do the same." She said and rolled her eyes when they left. "Asshole." She said and looked at her friend who came in and said, "Is it too early to start drinking?" @rededgerpstarterblog

"I mean, that really depends on who you ask, you know." He laughed. "I'd never judge you for drinking this early though."

"I've just been eating and eating non-stop and I want everything on the menu. I don't understand it," MIla shook her head as she teared up talking to herself at the table in the restaurant. Then looked up when she notice her friend standing above her. She blinked uncontrollably to try and stop her tears from keep going. " Oh that's embarrassing. How long ya been standing there?" she asked as she quickly smiled and wiped her tears away. @rededgerpstarterblog

"I was rasised to not assume that thing about a woman, so I am not going to ask, so we should probably change the subject." He looked at Mila.

"My boss asked me if I wanted to work the festival circut coming up and he got really annoyed when I told him I didn't. Sometimes having seniority as an EMT really pays off and today was one of those days." @rededgerpstarterblog

"Dude, I am so glad I never have to work a music festival. It honestly sounds like fucking hell."

"I had someone ask me how I felt about the new Wuthering Heights movie coming out and when I told them I was indifferent, they asked me if I knew Jane Austen and if I did, how would she feel about it. I'm offended that they think I'm that old, but that was also really funny at the same time." @rededgerpstarterblog

Cam laughed. "Damn, well, at least you look good for you age." He joked to his friend.

Lorelai was paying close attention to the directions that were given in the cooking class in Italy that her and her friend was taking. The dish was obviously homemade pasta. She looked over at her friend in the midst of making her dough "Hm? What did you say? I'm sorry I was concentrating really hard on how in the hell..." she asked her friend next to her. @rededgerpstarterblog

"I asked if you needed any more ingredients of anything." Cam said with a chuckle. "You okay?"

"So far my 2026 is going great, but then again, I don't let the bullshit get to me." Beau laughed. "Life, at least for me, is so much easier when you're not constantly worried about what other people think about you."

"Have you ever let the bullshit get to you though? In all the times that I have known you, I feel like you haven't." He laughed. "Have you been enjoying Italy man?"
