“You can’t save everyone babe, it’s impossible.” Sophia took a sip and smiled, “You’ll learn, there will be more people, more sex.”

“I can try though.” She shrugged reached her hand out and making a grabby action. “I don’t know. I don’t think so. Kind of lost what I thought was the one.”  

“Nah, it’s all the same. Sometimes girl are catty too.”

“Gross. Well, thank you for sharing the alcohol because now I feel like I need this. My boyfriend’s hair was so long he kind of looked like a girl when I was drunk enough so I figured it wouldn’t be that different. --Oh, no. That was so mean.”

“Boys, girls, they’re all the same. Don’t let anyone convince you differently.”

“Really? I was really hoping girls would be different and thinking I might give it a go. Well, I’ve really only had one real relationship outside of high school and I don’t plan on having another for awhile so I guess never mind.”

“His name is Dale, he runs a farm a few miles outside the city. The peaches are local, but he’s one of the most disorganized people I’ve ever met.”

“You order peaches specially?”

“Just break ups.”

“Well, I’ll drink about five more times to that.”

“I still feel bad, I just spent all day arguing with my Peach guy. More exhausting than it sounds, I swear.”

“Who’s your peach guy?”

“Yay! Join me baby doll.”

“That always burns the throat, wowza. Anyways, what’s got you all sad-face, babe?”

“Are you just going to stand there or are you gonna take a swig?”

“...just one though. I don’t have the greatest tolerance and I’m totally sick of hangovers.”

“I’m sorry I’m not paying full attention, I just had a long day.”

“That’s alright. It was nothing important.”

well I do know that I missed your face around the bar while you’ve been in hiding.

you never fail to make me smile, you dork. thank you. i missed your face too, silly. i’m starting back up normal shifts waiting tables tomorrow.

c’mon, you don’t have a bad bone in you, knox. 

yes i do!! like this one time, back home, i told my parents that our pig had hopped the gate and ran away, even though i actually accidentally left the gate open... i still feel a bit guilty about it, honestly.

I’m sure a lot of people are glad you’re back though.
