“… Men whom childhood had abandoned without a trace. Men without curiosity. Without doubt. Both in their own way truly, terrifyingly adult. They looked out at the world and never wondered how it worked, because the knew. THEY worked it

Maybe you’ll cause it to storm! Tarrant! I’m not telling you any of that! You just have to show up and see what it is, that’s why it’s called a surprise! Jeeze. I’d eat the pickles, of course! What do you think I’m going to do with that many pickles; build a house or something?

[maddeningmaddox]

Rose! Okay but, what if this surprise requires preparation that neither I nor Cami have made? There are responsibilities that come with surprise giving you know. I mean, you totally could - at least a small scale one because, a real one would go bad too quickly. But I'm not sure if the human body was made to consume an entire factory full. Your feet would swell up like a balloon.

[lucytremaine]

True. And I’ve never been married so I don’t know how it feels to be away from a spouse. So I guess we can’t put ourselves exactly in each other’s shoes. But I guess that was a really roundabout way of me saying that hey, I’m back in town and I kinda missed certain parts of this place. Also, I have no idea. Probably exactly the same as it was before I got there.

Oh, she would like that. Very much.

[maddeningmaddox]

It's honestly just the same as missing someone you care about a lot. But you're right, I'd pretty much put a hole or at least a huge dent in your shoes, which isn't very friendly of me. Aw, doesn't it feel so odd to say that? Any particular spots you're looking forward to re-visiting while you're here? Yeah, pretty much. The land that time forgot, good 'ol Farwell.

Just no sparklers. July has come and gone.

[angelinaharper]

Oh, well, you know. Until I get off and you take me home. I also need to be carried because my feet hurt. Okay, two drinks, but only if you give me better tips. And my fans love the cruel side of me, by the way.

[maddeningmaddox]

Yes, but your fans aren't the ones taking you with them tonight, are they? Or sweeping you off your feet, drawing you a bath. But hey, if one of them offers, y'know. Not like we live together or anything.

[thirwallscarlett-blog]

Yes, vacay. Excuse me then. How are the ideas coming? I’m ready to read another Tarrant Maddox novel as soon the next comes out. I’m glad that the time out of town was definitely productive though. I’m stuck at home this week anyways since the baby due is anytime this week, so I’m free anytime you are, really. 

[maddeningmaddox]

Scar just... vacation. It's literally just four more letters. You are excused for now. They're uh, coming! Hah. I'll be sure to let you know but, for now the two I have are still in semi fledgling stages. I always make it a point to be - even if it's not for work, it's memorable in some form. Oh God, that's right. Well I'll try to make it over before anything breaks, then. So how’s it feel, being so close?

[angelinaharper]

Yes, they love me. Which is why I can never leave, so sorry. Yes, of course he does, it’s his favorite part of his job, duh. Alright, fine, look. I guess I can make you one drink, but then you’re on your own.

[maddeningmaddox]

Wow. On my own for the entire night? You're so cruel to me, if only your fans knew this side of you. Also two drinks because you're especially leaving me hanging.

[fnlmadison-deactivated20170204]

Ooh, see that’s perfect. Great stress relief to have people around to have target practice on! It helps, right? The nausea is the worst omg. I haven’t gotten to the having to pee all the time part, but I’m sure that’ll happen soon.

[ameliadunbar-blog]

Yes, exactly. You should find someone to throw things at. Or just come to the shop and you can use Jaret. …then again, I’m sure Bee has been using him. Poor guy, maybe I should ease up. Do it to Tarrant, he’ll love it. It’s a constant annoyance always having to pee.

[maddeningmaddox]

I completely made it clear years ago that pain was not one of my kinks, Dunbar.

[fnlmadison-deactivated20170204]

I’m impressed! You know it, surprises are my favorite, and you should be happy! Nope, too big of a present to bring to Fred’s, you guys gotta come here, okay? Oh, that sounds perfect! I may be a bit late because I’ve got some stuff to do first, but I promise I’ll be there. And I’m doing good, I promise. I may need to invest in a pickle factory though.

[maddeningmaddox]

I'm just stunned, quite honestly. Well I'm... Rose, how big is this surprise exactly? Also is it living or inanimate? Oh no rush, I don't plan on heading back home for a while anyway. Alright, besides you know you can let me know if you do need something. Besides a pickle factory. A jar? Yes. Factory? A little out of my price range, and yours. What would you even do with a factory full of pickles?

[angelinaharper]

Well, duh, but I’m sure all my other many fans at the bar want me to make their drinks, so. You’ll have to settle for the newbie ,sorry!

[maddeningmaddox]

Your many fans mean more to you than me? Wow, small town's really given you a huge ego, hasn't it? Tell me, does the newbie check your assets as well as I do? No. So, by default, I'm your favorite and I’m stealing your company for the night.

[lucytremaine]

Try leaving for over a year and then you can only imagine what it’s like to be in my shoes right now.

Vacation!Summer may actually make an appearance.

[maddeningmaddox]

Hey, technically I did leave for a year - just not recently, of course. But I can sympathize with things being different coming back. What on earth is New York like without you, Summer?

She will be welcomed with open arms.

[ryanjamesmoore]

I’m guessing the married life is going well for you since you missed town?

[maddeningmaddox]

It's not so much "married" life as, being happy with someone life. Y'know even if we weren't married, I think I'd still be the same as I am now. So, I hear business is booming?

[angelinaharper]

On that note(s), you can have the new bartender serve you your drinks. Bye.

[maddeningmaddox]

Yeah, no. Besides you nobody else knows how to make the perfect gin and coke so, I'm afraid you're stuck with me. For better or for worse.

[nicolebouvier-blog]

Then you must be incredibly fond of me now Tarrant. I’m going to have to decline your invitation because I have a dinner I have to go to but we should definitely catch up. Yes?

[maddeningmaddox]

There are definitely people that I actually missed in this place. Some more obvious than others of course. I think I heard and/or read something about this dinner - fingers crossed that everything goes well. Yeah, of course. I should be pretty free the rest of the week - well, should be.

[thirwallscarlett-blog]

Welcome back, sunshine! How was the little vacay? I’d join you, but I can’t exactly leave the house or drink, so I’ll be there in spirit. Have a drink for me? That way I can pretend like I can still have fun.

[maddeningmaddox]

Vacay? I'll have you know young lady, I was very hard at work during my absence. Seriously, just getting out of town for a few days and the ideas start to flow like an unpolluted river. I can do that too, but I'd rather we get together some time this week. If not today then I can make it to you whenever you've got a moment.

[angelinaharper]

I want all the tips.

[maddeningmaddox]

Uhm, brush your teeth before bed, eat your greens, and never go to bed mad at somebody. I’ve got more, don’t worry.
