Yeah, I’m still not sure if she likes it or not, but I like it. Or maybe she wants an adventure with herself?

[ellie-mccarthy]

I'm sure she loves it; I think promise rings are so sweet. That's possible, adventures alone are really fun too. But it's possible she might want you to go.

*nuzzles against his neck as he talks to Pam* Why’d you cancel your meeting? 

[dontstopthehop]

Something came up.

[ellie-mccarthy]

Oh? And what exactly is that something?

[megara-egen-blog]

I’m just speaking the truth.

[ellie-mccarthy]

No you're not, because I'm your friend. And James is definitely your friend.

-Crosses his arms.- My grandmother never lies, princess.

[ellie-mccarthy]

Your grandmother? Oh, that's so adorable. 

[xrancisxfluggerbutterx]

I can’t help it. We’re good! I gave her a promise ring for our one year anniversary. Oh? Well I didn’t know about that, but maybe? If she wants me to go with her…

[ellie-mccarthy]

A promise ring? Oh that's so sweet! She just mentioned it to me a little while ago, I am sure she would want you to go with her. It would be so fun and so romantic.

[megara-egen-blog]

I don’t have friends, Ellie.

[ellie-mccarthy]

Meg... Don't say that. 

[hadeswood-deactivated20150620]

Why do you think i’m so charming?

[ellie-mccarthy]

*laughs* And who told you you're charming? I need to talk with them.

[ pulls away ] Mm, hold on. [ pages the secretary ] Pam, we’re finished for today. I’ll see you on Monday. “But, sir, you said we’d be meeting tomorrow with—” I’ll see you on Monday.

[ellie-mccarthy]

*nuzzles against his neck as he talks to Pam* Why'd you cancel your meeting? 

[zeroburton]

Hey. It is true. You’re a ray of sunshine Ellie. Promise he’ll come back around.

[ pulls her down into the chair with him ] You’ll have to prove to me that you’re not going to run off again, okay? You prove that to me, and we’ll bring the relationship public again. Until then, it’ll be just us, okay?

[ellie-mccarthy]

*smiles wider and brushes her nose lightly against his* Just us? So, we're going to have a secret relationship? Sneak around, not tell anyone? Sounds amazing.

God, I’ve missed you.

[ellie-mccarthy]

*her eyes widen in surprise, but she instantly holds his head to her* I've missed you too, Kevin. So much.

[ellie-mccarthy]

Alright, alright. *gets up and walks over,stopping when she's beside his chair* Yes, Mr Hopper?

[ eats some of the food, letting her speak without getting angry for once ] I’m sure you’ve heard that I’ve changed, and I have. There are certain people that are pleased with these changes. I’m one of them. I don’t plan on going back to that person who backs down so easily, and you have to understand that if you want this second chance. Just come over here. Let me see you smile.

[ellie-mccarthy]

I've... yeah, I've heard. If it makes you happy to be that way, then I'll have to be okay with that.  *smiles not because he asked her to, but because she feels things getting better* You want me to come over to your side of the desk? But that's the boss' spot.

[dontstopthehop]

You can’t expect us to continue from where we left off, Ellie. I’ll tell you that right now. Actually, even if we did that, we’d still be in a fight since that’s how we were when you left.

But I have missed you more than I’d ever admit to anyone else. I have loved you more than I ever thought possible. Then I learned exactly why I stopped giving in to that weakness. You have no idea how hurt and angry I was when I learned that you left when you did, and don’t try to argue with me because I guarantee you’ll be wrong.

[ellie-mccarthy]

I know we can't continue from where we were, but I want to try again. *listens to his confession and feels even more ashamed of herself* I'm sorry, Kevin. I know no matter how many times I say that it won't be enough, but I really am. You have every right to be angry with me, but I really want to make it up to you. You can have all the time you need, I don't expect you to forgive me, but I hated it when you said love doesn't exist. I'm sorry I hurt you, I'm sorry I made you doubt love... But if you'll let me, I want to give us a second chance.
