“You’ve been? California’s amazing. Can’t speak on the couples thing, but I’ll take your word for it. You’re such a genuine person…. no matter what area of your life, it’s easy to tell that you’re always going to do the best and most honest and fair thing. You’re bad at hiding your emotions, your heart eyes are impossible to silence. You’re just…easy to read and predict and that kind of honesty and genuineness is kind of amazing.”

[princecharcharming]

“Once. I will be back, it was amazing. You’ve been to weddings before though, right? Because they tend to veer towards ostentatious. So boringly predictable. Easy to read. Right on all counts. Will you go out with me this weekend? Whenever you’re free.”

[sally-carrer-blog]

“Nah. Hotel in California on the beach; dream big, right? You’re transparent when it comes to a lot of things, but I like that about you.”

[princecharcharming]

“There is something irresistible about California beaches. Plus that’ll attract ton of weddings, and couples are willing to spend anything. Things like what, Miss Sally?”

“You have enough moments for everyone. No, I don’t want a bakery. I want a hotel. Or an Inn, I guess. Of course you will - and I have no doubts that you’ll find it. Sooner, rather than later, I’m sure.”

[princecharcharming]

“Not a cute little bed and breakfast in Vermont? I’m pretty transparent when it comes to that sort of thing.”

[sally-carrer-blog]

“Since always? People are selfish and rude and have always been that way. You’re just….special. I do like baking…but even then, I’d rather be a business major. I’d rather own and run my own place than have to work underneath anyone else. Well don’t do that - I hear real royalty are all related.”

[princecharcharming]

“People have their moments. Is a bakery the goal? You could always go back to baking once you own your own place. Four am every morning to start though, those are tough hours to keep. I’ll marry for love, not titles, in any case.”

“Which all makes you really really good. And it’s very out of the ordinary. What major would you have guessed, then? Business can be unpredictable and interesting…. You’re the real-est Prince out there, don’t argue.”

[princecharcharming]

“Since when is it out of the ordinary? Manners maketh man. Is hellraising a major? I don’t know....Psychology maybe, or something culinary. You could secretly be an art freak.I’d have to marry into the crown.”

[sally-carrer-blog]

“Positive, I guess. You’re just so…good. I haven’t been around that in a really long time. Wait, why not? I’m not solid, respectable, or safe? I….wow, that sounds hella boring. All things a Prince would need, though, so makes sense.”

[princecharcharming]

“I’m really not, I just....like doing the right thing. And seeing the good in people. I don’t think that’s out of the ordinary. You’re respectable, for sure. You’re also unpredictable and interesting. I didn’t peg you as a Business major. I think it’s fascinating. Still not a real prince.”

[sally-carrer-blog]

“…..I forgot how different you are from literally every other person in my life. I’m a business major. What’s yours? Since I don’t think niceness and positive outlooks are majors.”

[princecharcharming]

“In a negative or positive way? Solid, respectable, safe major. Doesn’t seem to suit you at all, but I’m sure you excel at it. Economics. It’s more interesting than it sounds, it really helps you understand government policy, law, social and political processes and.....it’s as boring as it sounds. I tried.”

“Okay, good. I’m glad to hear it. That is such a noble view of school but seriously, when are you ever going to use Trig in real life? You don’t…no, nope, definitely don’t have to do that. Sweet offer, though.”

[princecharcharming]

“It isn’t about what you’ll use, Trig forces you to think in different ways and find different paths to a solution. It sharpens your reasoning and logic. You’re never going to have to do a Sudoku puzzle in the real world, but people still do them. What’s your major?”

[sally-carrer-blog]

“But your….your dad - that’s why you were gone, right? You said he’s okay, right? Can’t you just buy your way out of missed assignments? That’s what I would do. Life’s boring, as usual.”

[princecharcharming]

“He’s okay. He’s coming back here as soon as he can fly again. If I don’t do the work I won’t have any of the skills. If I were looking to buy an education I would have bought a diploma directly. I can buy you out of your assignments though, if they’re troubling you.”

[sally-carrer-blog]

“Sorry, I’ll greet you normally one day, I swear. So…..you’re still here, huh? How’s life?”

[princecharcharming]

“I think I’d be as alarmed by that as this. Still here. I don’t see another overseas trip happening anytime soon. Life is filled with missed assignments and training for an upcoming tournament. And yours?”

[sally-carrer-blog]

“But I’m not rel—- oh fuck, it’s you. I mean…hi, hello.”

[princecharcharming]

“Not usually the response I get, but I’m adjusting to it quickly.”

[princecharcharming]

“Just refuse on religious grounds.”

[sally-carrer-blog]

“I’m sorry things got shitty. I’m here for you no matter what, okay?” 

[princecharcharming]

“It was an unforeseeable situation, no one could have known. I’ll do everything I can to make it up to you.”

[sally-carrer-blog]

“Stop.You have other things. You have other things. I’m not special. Thank you for thinking otherwise, though,”

[princecharcharming]

“Things piled up all at once, it wasn’t  a conscious effort it was....overwhelming normalities all stacked together.”

[sally-carrer-blog]

“Yes.  If you can.”

[princecharcharming]

“Yes, I can.”

[sally-carrer-blog]

“You did, though. And all I want  is you.”

[princecharcharming]

“Do you think that’s something you can get past?”

[sally-carrer-blog]

“I’ve missed you. Please don’t leave me again”

[princecharcharming]

“Wouldn’t dream of it.”
