We dance in the dark

Yea, some people are like that. I was never one to just have sex with people I have a connection with until that special someone came a long, but now I don’t care and I welcome random hook ups. You’re one of the lucky one that marries her husband and know that he’s it for her.

I'm glad I never got to that point. He was my first as well. I sort of always knew he was it for me.

That’s okay, I have two weeks off, we can hang out whenever you can. Yeah, she did, she told me she was happy with him, but that she wished it was me, I don’t understand, if she wished it was me, why is she marrying him?

That sounds great. I don’t know, Rory. I wish I had an answer to that... I really do.

It’s simple. no string attached, an you both just get sex and the friendship without the complications of a relationship. But they don’t always work though. Someone ends up catching feelings sooner or later.

It seems pointless to me but I’ve never been able to have sex with anyone unless I loved them...

I think it depends of the woman. Maybe you’re right and it depends of the father. His genes could be more compatible with your body or something.

I heard that each pregnancy can be different depending on the father. The fact that Mike’s been a human both times could also help...

Why is that?

She’s just a reminder that my father isn’t who I thought he was. Plus she killed him.

My sister seems to prefer to forget she has a daughter. I haven’t decided yet if I’m attending.

She’s just.... going through stuff, Alex. You should. At least attempt to show some support.

That would be lovely, Frannie.

Glad to hear it, Michael. You’ll probably be stuck with me if my boss does actually put me on early maternity leave. I’ll even bring you lunches because we both know that I’ll be bored to death until the baby comes.

I… yeah…

There’s no cure for it?

I don’t actually know, me and Michael still hang out sometimes. I’m in Parsons School of Design. I’m majoring in Design & Technology.

I don’t remember him ever saying that you guys hung out. That sounds like a cool major. Where are you staying?

New York was amazing and everything, but I gotta admit being back in Hazel Run is a relief. Did I miss anything?

You were in New York?

You don’t miss it at all?

No, I love my life in New York with Michael, Penny, and our soon-to-be-born baby.

Callia’s getting married tomorrow.

I think I might have known that at some point. I think it’s possible that I don’t get invited to things because people know I’ll forget they’re happening.

She didn’t invite you?

You should come to Hazel Run, so I could check you myself.

I’ll be there for Callia’s wedding. Perhaps then?

Why are you back?

Callia’s getting married tomorrow.
