[    01:30am    ⁄   noah » pennyshore   ]: if you want 

he'd timed it because of course he had. frank might not have been the harvard alumini in the relationship, but he was a damn good detective. he knew his ex wife, and she worked on a schedule, — the moment he thought about it he figured there was probably some specific timing when it came to visiting tyler, and then all he had to do was pay attention to ethan's rambling about his coming and goings to catch on on what it was exactly. — so, of course, he timed it, he timed his way into to parking on the entrance of the golden ranch about five hours after ellie had last left. late enough that she would have been gone by now even if she had decided to stay a little longer, early enough that she wouldn't have come back yet, not for another two days. frank sat there in the driver's seat of the truck that advertised to everyone just who was driving, without him ever needing to leave his spot and thought about going back home. — his life was fine. he had a girlfriend, she was pregnant, he was happy. happy-ish. aas close to happy as he was capable of being. there was no goddamn reason in hell as to why he really needed to confront tyler about getting back with ellie. and yet there he was, gripping onto the steering wheel, gritting his teeth. knuckles white and jaw hurting. — maybe suvi was right all along, maybe he did need therapy, maybe admitting to a fucking stranger how much of a coward he truly was was better than whatever aimless bat swinging of his terrible feelings he was currently doing. he loved ellie, he loved tyler, he hated them both so much he couldn't think straight. he wished suvi's could make him forget he had a past, that there was ever any before her. he wished she was all there ever was. all there would ever. — frank took one deep breathe, allowed himself a second when he realized it came shaky. shifted his weight back and forth and then back again. and he was out of the truck, slamming its door, stalking his way to tyler, all anger and bravado, "you know, you are—" god, seeing his face made everything so much fucking harder. "you can be one motherfuckin' little shit sometimes, you know that, tyler?"

glancing around them to try and pick the most picturesque location, she walked a few steps to the side, gesturing to the spot beside her for pennyshore to come over. laughter fell from her lips, nodding at the other's words. "we should definitely come back during summer." she had no problem going on 'adventures' and getting to explore outside - and doing so with good company made it all the better. "just so you know, i'm not letting you in the car, if you don't promise to fully commit to car karaoke. no mumbling along - it's singing your heart out or nada."

she knew just how much effort grey had put into making their evening special, overjoyed to finally have an extravagant date the two of them always talked wanting to do yet the night just had to be overshadowed by a storm that basically blew the pair back inside. the redhead reminded the male of other activities they could enjoy even without electricity, enjoying the other’s company thoroughly as the raging storm provided the perfect background noise to their vocals. finding solace once more in grey’s embrace, the femme let out a content sigh whilst tracing her fingers aimlessly along his arm. “i definitely do,” red teased as she recalled their entanglement just a few moments prior, “and i love you. i’m sorry tonight didn’t go as planned but i still had an amazing time anyway. though maybe next time we should check the weather before heading out.” 

sloane had finally hit a point where running from her past seemed impossible, but she was still trying to brush it off, shrugging her shoulder as she looked away. “it felt like a white lie at the time.” she said quietly. “my dad’s not dead, okay? he’s just dead to me. and that felt like enough.” 

" you don't gotta be sorry . i'm just asking you to give us a try . " he continued to reassure her . he won't lie and say things have been perfect . it's been a good time and roman's tried to spend less time working . he knew that he'd need to take even more time off , but he was okay with doing it to an extent . " so does that mean you'll be stay the night ? " || @littledots
