Gone in a flash

Name's Brendan Devereux. Chances are I'm gonna be faster than you in every way possible. No hard feelings, alright? That's just the way it is around here. I appreciate anyone who can try to keep up though.

[flashdevereux-blog]

It's finally summer!

[hawkingwidow-blog]

I know okay. I know you do and I’m sorry that it can’t feel that way. Or that it doesn’t.

[flashdevereux-blog]

I'll see you around, Annie.

[flashdevereux-blog]

It's finally summer!

[hawkingwidow-blog]

Don’t apologize to me and don’t say what you should do. What are you going to do? What do you want to do?

[flashdevereux-blog]

What do I want to do? I wanna go back to the way it was before you left. I want it to feel like no time passed at all.

[flashdevereux-blog]

It's finally summer!

[hawkingwidow-blog]

I know I’m not the best at communicating and I’m not going to make excuses for that, okay? I’m sorry, Brendan. And I’m sorry that despite everything between us that even had that idea. And I can’t blame you, because it makes sense and it’s logical. It just hurts.

[flashdevereux-blog]

You don't have to apologize. I'm sorry, I should just go.

[flashdevereux-blog]

It's finally summer!

[hawkingwidow-blog]

Brendan, if I wanted to be with someone else, I would be. I would not be here right now. I’d be off doing whatever I wanted with whoever that person was. But I’m not, because I don’t want to be with anyone else. Because  I don’t lo- I don’t… I just don’t.

[flashdevereux-blog]

I know. I know. It was unfair and I'm sorry. You aren't that type of person and I never should have doubted that.

[flashdevereux-blog]

It's finally summer!

[hawkingwidow-blog]

Yeah, it’s fine. Um, but it’s nice to see you’re okay, though.

[flashdevereux-blog]

It's not fine, Annie. I'm sorry. I'm just... insecure, I guess. A lotta people have a lot more to offer you than I do.

[flashdevereux-blog]

It's finally summer!

It’s not unfair? Again, seriously? Yeah, I didn’t keep in close contact for the last five months, but are you honestly asking me that like it’s a real possibility? You know what, thanks for letting me know that you think that lowly of my loyalty, or whatever. But for your information, no, I didn’t find anyone. I wasn’t there to find anyone and even if someone had magically appeared, I wouldn’t have even entertained the thought.

You're right, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said it.

[flashdevereux-blog]

It's finally summer!

[hawkingwidow-blog]

Seriously? Seriously, Brendan?

[flashdevereux-blog]

I don't think it's an unfair question. I mean, Europe is big and exciting and you didn't really call or anything.

[flashdevereux-blog]

It's finally summer!

[hawkingwidow-blog]

I didn’t what?

[flashdevereux-blog]

Uh... Meet anyone?

[flashdevereux-blog]

It's finally summer!

[hawkingwidow-blog]

That’s…good. It was nice, more work related than anything.

[flashdevereux-blog]

Work related? So you didn't uh... Never mind. Glad you enjoyed your trip.

[flashdevereux-blog]

It's finally summer!

[hawkingwidow-blog]

Well, I’m sure you found some way to liven it up. It’s one of the things you do best.

[flashdevereux-blog]

Yeah, I've been doing things here and there. Uh, how was your trip?

[flashdevereux-blog]

It's finally summer!

[hawkingwidow-blog]

I’ve been…alright. Um, you?

[flashdevereux-blog]

About the same. Things have been pretty, uh... dull around here.

[flashdevereux-blog]

It's finally summer!

[hawkingwidow-blog]

It suits you.

[flashdevereux-blog]

Yeah, I guess it does.

How've you been?

[flashdevereux-blog]

It's finally summer!

[hawkingwidow-blog]

You always were a summer kid.

[flashdevereux-blog]

What can I say? I like the sunshine and the warm weather.

[flashdevereux-blog]

It's finally summer!

[supernovastorm-blog]

Thank you for the season report.

[flashdevereux-blog]

Just tryin' to be helpful.

[flashdevereux-blog]

It's finally summer!

[thediamondone]

...Honey?

[thediamondone]

[She smiles and pinches his cheek] Perhaps. Now shoo and go talk to her before I tell her that she makes you shine like a light bulb.

[flashdevereux-blog]

[Makes a face] Fine, fine, I'm going. [Gives her a quick hug] Thanks, mom.

[thediamondone]

...Honey?

[thediamondone]

I think it’s adorable. And look at who’s starting to glow a little bit! You should calm that down before someone notices.

[flashdevereux-blog]

I think that's probably kind of inevitable, isn't it?
