Just as the pair had sat down and were about to enjoy their breakfast, it seemed like the universe decided to intervene. Her phone started ringing, the tone she knew as work calling. Something must have been wrong for them to be calling her on her day off. “I’m sorry.” Sigyn muttered getting up to answer the call. Switching into work mode as she listen to what the director had to say and agreeing to be there as quick as she could.

Having already stepped away, she quickly changed out of his clothes and back into her own. Leaving the sweatpants and hoodie on the bed for him. She ran back to the kitchen where she had left Chase, her heart breaking inside that this was how she was leaving him for what would probably be the last time. Maybe this was a good thing, maybe this would finally be the way to put an end to everything they had been doing. Things could just stopped, and they wouldn’t have to have the conversation she had been dreading. Or worse, risk truly getting her heart broken.

“I have to go, there’s a work...thing.” Doing her best to avoid the details. After all, she had never told him what she did. “Thank you for breakfast...” The last word trailing off as she looked at her untouched plate. “And thank you, for last night.” Hesitating just a moment she took one last good look at Chase before heading towards the door. Cursing out work for needing her, but thanking work for saving her from making a worse mistake. .......................................................................

There had been an attack, one SHIELD had to go in and solve. Civilians, agents, medics, everyone had been called in. It didn’t take long before entire blocks of the city had been put on lock down or taken over by the organization as they worked towards neutralizing the threat and taking care of those that had been injured. Sigyn was doing everything she could to help lockdown the city, taking out enemies as needed. But as the count of injured continued to increase she was switched to rescue. Finding anyone that needed help and getting them somewhere safe. She had just gone back out for another sweep when things seemed to go south again. Today just really isn’t my day. Pressing the device in her ear as she grabbed her gun. “Hey guys, I’m going to need some back up on 4th and Coving-”

Maze sat with her back to the bar, eyes scanning the crowd of humans crushed into the building as the music hummed through the air. No one looked interesting yet at least not until the fresh face walked through the crowd and tapped on the bar to order a drink.

When Abby said goodbye Chase the last time well she thought it would be the last time and she assumed if they ever bumped into each other again, it would be completely random. She never in her plans of plans thought she would be waiting for him to show up at the same diner that they used to meet up at on Sundays because she finally worked up the courage to text him with the request.

Her fingers twisted anxiously in the oversized sweater that she dawned for the occasion, she went with baggy and some matching leggings because he was in for a major change of life and she wasn't feeling like standing up to give the news was the best way to break it to him. Her curls were everywhere but she was too tired this morning to even bother trying to figure out something to do with it.

Abby heard the door ding at the front and once she laid eyes on Chase walking inside, her stomach twisted into nervous knots. How was she going to do this? Did she stand up to greet him or stay seated? She definitely wasn't going to hug him, he would noticed right away if she did that. Did he notice her? Oh fuck, he did notice her and oh, his smile is still the same. That nervous twist in her stomach turned into major butterflies as she watched him approach and she tried really hard to shove it down.

The past few weeks had been nothing short of bliss for Aubrey ... even if she had to work in the general area with other wolves. The only reason her alpha (who was also her Father) had allowed her to accept this job was the thought that she could be used as a method to gather information ... something he’d be sorely disappointed in considering that Aubrey hadn’t bothered to question either of the men that worked in the shop enough to get the information Kyle wanted. Though ... admittedly that had a lot to do with one particular person that kept coming to talk with her from time to time. 

There was just something about him, something that made her senses heighten, an awareness that made her feel both anxious ... and serene at the same time. How that was possible she didn’t know, but she wasn’t entirely sure she wanted to find out.

Not that life ever seemed to want to cooperate with that. 

The last couple of weeks were a turbulent time to say the least. The more she showed him or told him things of their shared past, the more confused he became. These things that had happened, these moments that they had shared, they were not coming to him. The more he tried to think about it, the more he tried to conjure some sort of semblance to a memory, the more it escaped his grasp, it frustrated him.

Getting to know Anna of the last couple of weeks, he could see why he might had had something with her. But could he stay? Not knowing? Always knowing that there were things there that he would never be able to recall? Not knowing just how much he did care for her before? What the hell was he going to do? Did she really even know him at all? Did he she?

He couldn’t keep doing this right now.

He needed to leave. He needed to breath. He needed to think.

He was getting ready to pack a bag to leave town for a while and honestly, he was being a bit apathetic to Anna. It was better than getting attached. As he packed a bag, she spoke, the words freezing him in place.

She knew about Adam?

“I,” he hesitated as his emotions conflicted. “I told you about him?” She knew about Adam, she knew about his tendencies. There was only one reason he would ever tell anyone about Adam. Taking a moment to process it all, he looked around again before his blue eyes settled back on her. “I just need to get away from this all for a while. It’s a bit much. You can come with me if you like but the photographs, the clothes, this whole place, its feel like someone else that isn’t me. I just can’t stay here for a while.”  

The moment Anna had saw Charlie with his bag opened on the bed and him stuffing his clothing within, she could have swore she felt her heart stuttering a beat as genuine fear rose and threatened to choke her with the force of it. She didn’t want to lose Charlie ... she wasn’t entirely sure she could handle him just walking away despite knowing damn well that she couldn’t stop him. All she ever wanted was for him to be happy, and she knew that being around this place lately had been nothing short of incredibly stressful for him. 

So how could she possibly ask him to stay? 

And yet she still found herself trying to convince him otherwise in her own way. Watching him react to what she said, she did her best to hide just how desperate she was to keep him, listening to him explain and knowing damn well that there was a good chance that if he did leave ... he might not come back. 

Except ... he was giving her the option of coming with. Softening considerably, there was only a brief moment where she looked to him as a faint smile began to rise to her lips, “Going on a road trip?” she began, her smile growing until it dominated her expression. “That sounds perfect ... we could both use the fresh start..” instinctively Anna had come forward as she spoke, moving to gently cup his cheek before remembering herself and lowering her hand just a touch. 

thank you ❤️❤️❤️

also, thank you all who sent me congratulations under the last post. you all are the best ❤️

"So what you're telling me is," Tegan paused to survey the other mechanic with curious eyes. "That the old man who runs this joint and leaves me in charge frequently, has been using the wrong goddamn wrench this entire time?" He questioned and honestly he could see it happening. His oldest friend was definitely starting to get a bit senile..

omg @thekarass asked for a love note for @hermosa-pesadilla !!!
