" Ah, come on. You loved 'em. If it wasn't for 'em, Will wouldn't be here. " Ethan teased, although even if he wouldn't have thrown notes her way during class - he would have had her, one way or another. Had been in love with her since the first day he had laid eyes on her, and wasn't willing to let her go.

" Vacation? What's that? Never heard of the word before. " And wouldn't, anytime soon. Luke may have been fine for the day, but a week? There's no way the place wouldn't fall apart. At least, that's what he had convinced himself.

" Probably wants to see if there's anythin' out on the trail he can chase. Been cooped up last couple days, 'cause of the weather. " He says, shaking his head as he watches Gen reach for his favorite saddle. Doesn't even stop her, grabs one of the others.

[beautifulxdisaster]

She nearly snorted. It took a whole lot more than a few love notes to get William, but she kept that to herself. While the pain of letting go of what Ethan and she once had all those years ago had severely lessened, there was still a sting, much like a little slap on the wrist, thinking about what might have been today, had Genevieve remained faithful to him. Nevermind that, she had to remind herself. At least they weren’t fighting every time they saw each other.

“Gray hairs,” she echoed innocently – teasingly in a murmur, humming while her lips pressed against her mug. Tilting her head back a bit, Genevieve finished up whatever coffee remained in the mug and took the half-eaten apple with her, for Moonshine. He surely wouldn’t mind munching on the leftovers.

“Yea, I know the feelin’. I can’t be cooped up indoors for too long either. It’s been drivin’ me crazy.” Which was why today, even with the ground covered in a thick blanket of freshly fallen snow, she was going to ride to her heart’s content. “We don’t belong indoors do we now, boy?” She glances at Bentley, wagging his tail while looking back at her expectantly. Once Moonshine was fully saddled up, Genevieve mounts the horse, pulling herself up with a soft grunt. She takes the reins in her hands and gives them a tug, and Moonshine trots towards the door.

genevieve struggled with her weight as a pre-teen. it wasn’t until she reached puberty that she began shedding the extra pounds and grew comfortable in her own skin and eventually with her sexuality.

Black magic. There's no controlling in it. It plays game with you.

It took Samuel by surprise when he saw Genevieve step into his bar, especially with other guys. He knew they weren't anything serious, but it still stung. Sam did his best to keep to himself and leave her alone, not wanting to cross any lines. However, the moment she got into an altercation with one of the guys, he wanted to make sure she was alright. "Are yo‐ what?" His brows furrowed in confusion as he followed after her. "You obviously don't know me very well if you think I don't care about you." Once he was close enough, he reached for her arm and gently stopped her from stumbling on, moving to step in front of her. "Besides, if I didn't care, I wouldn't be trying to ask if you were okay or try and stop you from driving. Give me your keys."

[beautifulxdisaster]

She let out a wry laugh beneath a scoff, wiping some stray tears from her face. “Yea, well, you shouldn’t. That’s… stu-stupid of you.” The words came out slurred, revealing just how drunk she was. The truth was, somewhere deep down inside, Genevieve had already realized how much Samuel cared for her, and she had never intended to get that serious with anyone ever again. Sniffling, she handed over the keys to him. “Well, no, I’m not okay, Sam, alright? And y-you’re just wasting your time with me. You’re better off. Do you hear me? You need to trust me on that.” A bitter laugh slipped past her lips before she found herself reduced to an utter blubbering mess of tears, shaking her head. She really was in no condition to operate a vehicle and was fortunate he had stopped her. Somehow Genevieve was always lucky like that.

[thcarchcr-deactivated20230803]

" Same, actually. It's a miracle I made it through English class. " Ethan chuckles. If she needed the help, he'd help. Even if he didn't have the time to, he'd find it. He owed her that much.

" Nah, but you're right. We need to head out 'fore I change my mind. It's comin' - the wheels are turnin'. In 'bout five minutes, I'll be backin' out, and insistin' that I need to go and help Luke. " He finishes his coffee, setting the mug down on the table, leaving it for later. Right now, they had some riding to do.

As he gets up from his seat, Gen suggests they race. The older male gives her a look and before he could say anything, she's running out the door. " She's somethin', ain't she? " Ethan asks, looking down at his dog, who was hoping for scraps from their breakfast. " C'mon. Before she takes my favorite saddle. "

[beautifulxdisaster]

“You know, I’d have passed English with flyin’ colors if you didn’t send me those lil’ notes in class every day,” she snickers, teasing him. Back then, seemingly a lifetime ago, those notes were the highlight of her day. She used to keep them in a shoebox in her closet.

Ethan was predictable; she knows him too well. “Luke can handle it on his own just fine for a bit. You need to give yourself breaks every now and then,” Gen insists, crossing her arms over her chest,  “you’ll give yourself early gray hairs — look at that, I think I already see one or two of ‘em on your head. When’s the last time you took a vacation?” 

When she reaches the barn, she takes a moment to catch her breath, panting softly with hands on her hips. As Genevieve enters the barn, and Bentley comes running in a few moments later, before Ethan. “Hey boy,” she grins. “You gonna ride with us, too?” After glancing over her shoulder, she grabs the saddle she knows Ethan would have chosen for himself and hurriedly lugs it over to Moonshine, placing it on the horse’s back.

Her news caught him off guard. He was surprised, that she was chasing such a thing. But he was proud. Proud of Genevieve, and how far she's come. It wasn't easy getting sober, but she did it - and now her life was finally back on track. She was the best mother she could be to William, and honestly...he was seeing a future with her. Seeing hope that they could restore what they once had. "Seriously? Gen, that's fuckin' awesome. Why didn't you tell me as soon as you walked through that door? Congratulations, kid. I know you're gonna do great things for that place. If you need any help, let me know. I can, or I know a couple of guys." Ethan smiles.

He had things to do, despite Luke taking care of the morning. If there was one thing he hated, it was doing nothing. This place was his pride and joy and he always wanted to be involved - even on the days he was exhausted. But, he felt as if he owed it to the woman sitting across from him for a ride. Besides, his horse JD needed to stretch his legs after being off almost the entire winter. "Alright, I'll go. Let's finish up here and head to the barn, yeah?"

[beautifulxdisaster]

“Oh, I could use all the help I could get! I don’t know what the hell I’m doin’, but fake it ‘til you make it, right? I graduated high school doin’ that.” With a soft laugh, she takes a drink from her coffee. “I should be thankin’ you – you and Will have been my biggest supporters, so thank y’all. Thank you.” She smiles at him, feeling grateful to even be standing in front of Ethan, in his home. They’d really come a long way, hadn’t they?

“Wow, I thought I’d have to do some more convincin’ than that,” she teases, releasing a chuckle as she shook her head. “No, let’s go now. Can’t have you changing your mind in the next minute.” Setting down her mug, Genevieve nudges his arm as she walks towards the door, glancing at him over her own shoulder with a playful smirk. “I’ll race ya there!” Cheating, she gives herself a head start from the door, dashing towards the barn. It’s possible Ethan isn’t even running behind her, but she doesn’t care to look back. @blndsided

She was right. It was old enough, although Ethan truly believed their son wasn't as interested in girls as his mother was thinking he was. He may have had a girlfriend, but by next week, they'd probably be broken up. That's how these young relationships worked. "If it makes you feel better, than I'll talk to him." He finally says, knowing that Gen was coming from a good place. "What are your plans for the day? Luke was kind enough to do mornin' chores."

[beautifulxdisaster]

“Let me know how that goes for you two,” she smiled. “Before I answer that, I got some excitin’ news to share. You know the old diner that closed permanently a few months ago? Well, you’re now lookin’ at its new owner… I was finally able to take out that loan and put in an offer. That baby’s all mine. Just got the news this mornin’. I’ll be starting the renovations pretty soon. I’m so excited. It’s gonna look better than it ever did.” She beamed with pride from start to finish with her news. “I was hopin’ to take Moonshine for a celebratory ride. Wanna ride with?”

Closed Starter

Kid? Daughter? She just threw the man for a loop. “I...I have a kid?” Lucas didn’t know what to think in that moment. Eight long years have been spent inside a small cell, with no contact to the outside world. And now he found out that his ex-wife had a kid, his kid. “How the fuck...how the actual fuck do you expect me to believe you?” Lucas seethed. His mind was running at a mile per hour now, thinking of every possibility. Plus, the anger he felt towards her made him question her claim. “Is she even mine, Gen?”

Genevieve had her arms folded defiantly across her chest. He didn’t believe her. Of course he didn’t believe her! Why did it come as a surprise? “You really wanna get slapped again, don’t ya?” she mumbled through gritted teeth. “Fuck you, Lucas! I wish she wasn’t yours,” she told him bitterly. “See for yourself,” she glared at him. “Raina! Come on out here!” Genevieve called for the girl and took a drag from her cigarette. A few seconds later, Raina came running through the front door. “Raina, this is Lucas. You be nice now and say hello.” She didn’t think it was necessary to tell her who he was just yet, in case he didn’t want to be in her life. No man was ever going to crush her daughter’s heart like that. All Genevieve needed was for Lucas to get a good look at her. “Hi,” Raina spoke soft and shy. “Alright, you get back in there now.” Once she went back inside, Genevieve’s icy gaze bore into him. “I know you think I open my legs to every man who looks my way, but she’s yours whether you like it or not. A blind man could see it.”

[colcrado-a-deactivated20230714]

"The talk? C'mon, Gen. He doesn't - they're twelve! He doesn't need the talk." Although if he recalls, that was around the age his parents had it with him. And if you get any girl pregnant, I'll castrate ya myself.

"I think he'll be okay. Too busy worryin' 'bout when we're gonna take him to the dirt track to ride his bike, or fishin' with his friends down at Mill Creek. Doin' somethin' more than holdin' a hand with a young lady and maybe a kiss on the cheek is far from his mind. But if you want, we can. You just say the word."

[beautifulxdisaster]

“Twelve is old enough,” she argued with a bit of a shrug. “Well, if you say so buddy… I’ll deny ever sayin’ this in front of other people, but you’re rarely wrong when it comes to your son. I just think you can’t be too careful nowadays. Will is one of the good ones but that don’t mean he ain’t curious like the rest of ‘em.” Genevieve couldn’t help feeling sentimental. Her baby was growing up, and there was absolutely nothing she could do about it. “Oh no, no, no. He wouldn’t forgive either one of us if I was there. When you think the time is right, I’ll leave you to it. You guys can have one of those father-son moments that way.”

After a night of heavy drinking, the last thing Genevieve had planned on was running into Samuel. Then again, she was inebriated, lacking sound judgement, or else she would have avoided going to his bar and having an altercation with one of the guys she had arrived with. Trouble always seemed to follow her after one too many drinks. "It's okay, you don't have to pretend you care just 'cause we're screwing each other." She stumbled past him, moving towards the poorly lit parking lot.

[colcrado-a-deactivated20230714]

"I believe it, 'cause I was the same way." Ethan chuckles, taking a sip of his coffee. No sugar and no cream, just like his father had taken it. "S'just puppy love, Gen. They'll be alright. I have a feelin' in 'bout a week or two he'll be onto someone new. Not dumped of course, 'cause us Mills don't get dumped." The man jokes. "I do wonder what he's up to when he's not here with us. Been spendin' almost every weekend at the Jones' ranch, playin' with their boy."

[beautifulxdisaster]

"Yeah, I can see that," she says, resisting the urge to shake her head. Will took after Ethan, mostly. He was just as reserved and rarely spoke about his emotions, though Genevieve realized that was also just the nature of most men. She would know -- after all, she grew up in a house with not one but two brothers. "Okay, you're right and maybe I'm bein' a little dramatic..." She nearly rolls her eyes when Ethan claims 'Mills don't get dumped'. "I just think it's adorable, m'kay? What would they even talk about? I never dated anyone that young." She hesitates before asking, "Is there such a thing as too early to have... 'the talk'? -- What? I'm serious!" Genevieve laughs. Waiting for his response, she helps herself to a careful sip of coffee, wincing when it burns the tip of her tongue.

[colcrado-a-deactivated20230714]

"This is the first I'm hearin' 'bout this." Ethan responds, continuing to pour himself a cup of coffee. It was a slow morning, and Luke had offered to take care of his duties so he could enjoy a few hours off. If it weren't for the busy week he had, then perhaps he would have protested - but time for a cup and catch up with Gen didn't sound so bad after all. "Who's the lucky gal? How serious are we talkin'? Hand holdin' or what?"

[beautifulxdisaster]

She moves beside him to the countertop, grabbing herself a large mug, the apple hanging from her mouth held securely in place by her teeth, until she's finished pouring the coffee into the mug. “He was tight-lipped about everythin’! Wouldn’t even tell me a name. Can you believe that?” she shakes her head, cradling the now warm cup in between palms, leading against the counter. “I am his mama. If he won't talk to me about these things, who’s he talkin’ to then?” Gen scoffs, letting out a small chuckle as she carefully blows into the hot liquid.
