[ What Amara’s life had come to that she was at a small town ‘soiree’ but that didn’t mean it couldn’t be fun. She was here with someone, refusing to overthink it, after all this time. That someone had caught the attention of somebody’s mother which spurred Amara into action, putting on a high and shiny voice- ] Oh honey, there you are! I thought I lost you in the crowd. Whatever would the children think if I came home without you? Little Eddie and Freddie would weep for days. Did you bring that for me? How sweet! [ She took the drink out of the mother’s hand, smiling as she left ] … Well, that was fun. Did you lose your tie to a lonely ‘soccer mom’ on the way in too?

[It was boring. No, it was hell. How sad and pathetic was he that he’d gotten to the point in his life where he couldn’t even enjoy being hit on by an attractive older lady? Whatever the reasoning behind his unfortunate progression, he couldn’t wish it away faster. he was seconds away from rolling his eyes and loudly saying ‘blah blah blah’ when Amara arrived] Darling. I was beginning to think you’d thrown me to the wolves here. Well, I doubt they’d miss me that much, but we wouldn’t want to risk it, now would we? The poor dear’s wouldn’t know what to do with themselves without daddy to tuck them into bed. If you’ll excuse us, Mrs....whatever the f you said your name was [he mutters under his breath as they breeze past her]. Fun for you, maybe. It was like entering the seventh circle of hell for me. I finally understand what Dante’s Inferno was about. Divine Comedy my left ass cheek. All I see are tears, Amara.
About the tie--I’ve completely blacked that part out. So if anyone asks what’s clogging the garbage disposal, that’s definitely not it.
