SEAN ✉️ DREW

Drew: Hey, Sean. Don't worry about it man, I'll get it covered. No big deal. Take care of your kid, I hope she feels better son. Don't worry about making up the hours, I won't take anything from your check.

Sean: Are you sure man? You're the best, I swear. I'll let you know how things are going, no problem. Thanks for everything, man. Really.

SEAN ✉️ DREW

Sean: Hey, man. I don't think I'm gonna be able to make it in today. My daughter has been sick for a couple days, I've got to get her to the doctor. Sorry for the short notice Drew, I can make the hours up.

SEAN ✉️ RUBEN

Ruben: Please do. Ramble, I mean. Oh, I'm sorry. That must be the worst, and I'm not saying that flippantly. Losing a loved one is painful. I can't even imagine. I feel like I shouldn't joke about suitors, not after that.

Ruben: I thought so. I'm glad I said it, then. You don't have to do anything, just know I mean it. I will, yeah. It'll take me a minute, but I'll get there. And yeah, that would be nice. I'll bring stuff. I can pack stuff into my guitar case, since you know I'm bringing that.

Sean: I just might. You're welcome to do the same. I'd enjoy that. Oh, no, it's alright really. I mean...I did love Laura once upon a time. But our marks had disappeared a while before she passed. And, I make sure Myleigh knows who her mother was. Who she used to be. I'm just grateful every day My wasn't with her when it happened. You're alright, joke, please. You're totally fine.

Sean: I'm glad you did too, really. Ruben...You are a sweetheart. I'm pretty positive no one is lined up on my lawn, because they're all on yours. Great. I'm excited. To see you. Just be careful. Call me if you need me.

SEAN ✉️ RUBEN

Ruben: I'm looking forward to it too. I'm glad you think so, thank you. I can tell that you love her. Ramble all you want! Don't worry about it, I'm enjoying myself. You said single father, though, do you mind if I ask what happened to her mother? It sounds to me like people are missing out. I'm surprised, hopefully there's some hope for taste factor in the men in town-- if the women aren't lining up, someone should be.

Ruben: It's common decency, really. She should be first, and I know that it kinda sounds like you needed to hear that so you knew that you didn't have to worry. Just in case. I wouldn't. You wouldn't be ruining anything at all, I'm going with you. The purpose is to be with you. So if you're not at open mic night anymore... then I don't want to be either. It's alright. Awesome, alright. I'll head over. See you soon.

Sean: Good. That's really good. No need to thank me, I mean it. I'm glad that comes through. Yeah? Well...I'll try and ramble more often, then. I'm glad you are, Ruben. I am too. I did say that. Myleigh's mother, Laura, passed away when Myleigh was 4 months old. Car accident. And, for the record, you're welcome to ask me anything you'd like. You're funny. Well, unfortunately don't exactly have multitudes of prospects either way the wind blows. I am bisexual, and yet I wake to an empty lawn every morning.

Sean: I...Did. I think. Need to hear that, I mean. You're sweet, Ruben. Real sweet. That's really cool of you. I don't even really know what to do with that. Great, sounds good. Be safe, alright? It's late, you know. So I mean...I don't know. If you wanted to bring an overnight bag or something, you're more than welcome to stay.

SEAN ✉️ RUBEN

Ruben: Sounds like we have a plan, yeah. I'm prepared, I don't mind. I like kids, actually. I think they're cute, and part of the package is energy. You're very sweet when you talk about her, you know. I bet the clear father qualities in you have girls lining up down the block at your place. I just don't want her to be put on the side for me, not that I think you would but I don't want to be a reason that she starts feeling a certain type of way. Does that make sense? I wouldn't mind leaving early with you, if that were the case. I just want you to know, I won't consider it a bad thing if plans have to be cut short at any time for your daughter. So don't hesitate. I could come over in the morning. ..Or now, if it's not too late for you.

Sean: Great. I'm looking forward to it. Man...That's really nice to hear. You're something else, you know. You and her will get along just fine, I'm confident. I am? Thanks for that. I love her, you know? I never thought I could. Before she came along, you couldn't have convinced me I ever would've had a kid, especially not one I'd be raising on my own. I was terrified the entire time her mother was pregnant with her. I'd have these nightmares about doing shit wrong, fucking shit up. I remember this real bad one I used to have, where I'd drop her, and she'd roll into the street or down some random hole that dream-magically appeared. Anyway, that all changed the second I held her. And now I'm just being a sap, and I'm rambling to boot. Why didn't you stop me? Ha, girls lining up down the block huh? Yeah, definitely, as a matter of fact if you get here before 7, you'll usually find one or two fist fighting over who gets top spot. Really, though, that couldn't be further from the truth. I'm a single dad to a 7-year-old girl, who works as a mechanic in like, the smallest town known to man. I'm not exactly a hot ticket item, in any season. Particularly not this one. Thanks for the ego boost though.

Sean: I...Really appreciate that, though. It's cool. You thinking like that. I wouldn't let that happen, though. And, in all honesty, she's the one telling /me/ I need to get out more. 7-going-on-30, remember? Anyway, thank you for that. I'll be extra careful, you have my word. You...Wouldn't? Shit. I'd hate to feel like I ruined your night. Now would work. It would for sure work. I can stay up, I mean.

SEAN ✉️ RUBEN

Ruben: That's what I want, yeah. We could head over together, if you want. I hope she likes it there, I do think she'll find plenty to do. And you can always leave early, if you need to. No need to stay for the whole night, if she falls asleep. I can't imagine she'd enjoy waking up in a café full of people if things got to be too loud for her. Well, I mean.. yeah, a day. I guess it's not too long, then.

Sean: Good, sounds like we have a plan then. Yeah, that sounds great. I'd like that a lot. I hope you're prepared for Hurricane Myleigh. She's great, but she's wide-open when she's excited. And, frankly, she's excited about everything, all the time. It's my favorite. I'm sure she will. Even if not, I've always got supplies in my truck, just in case. I wouldn't leave early unless you did. If nothing else, I'm sure I can send her to Miss Val's to sleep until we're done. No, no, that's...I just meant...I just meant that if you want to do it sooner, we can. Any time. Whenever. Is what I mean.

[seanlowreyorigin]

SEAN ✉️ RUBEN

Ruben: Hey! It's nice to hear from you, man. You're not scared off by the gossip blog? I'd love to have you two there. If it's not too late. I think the café does open mic night every friday? I could always play for you sometime, though. Friday is a ways away.

Sean: Nah, why would I be? We'll come, then. As long as that's what you want, and you're okay with it, we will. She's been wanting me to take her over there anyway, she's interested in the board games. It shouldn't be, but if it gets too late, she'll just wind up falling asleep on me anyway. Yeah? I wouldn't say no to that, but I don't want to put you out. A whole day, right?

[seanlowreyorigin]

SEAN ✉️ RUBEN

Sean: Hey. I just wanted to say I had a really great time with you at the Circus. And, I saw the video you posted too. From Open Mic Night. You're really good, Ruben. Let me know if you're planning on performing again. Myleigh and I will come see you, if you are.

docmickyreid​:

It’s a pleasure to meet you as well, Sean! I’d be more than happy to sit down and talk with you about that! We can chat here, or you’re welcome to schedule an appointment to talk with me in person! We can go through some of the basics- care needs, nutritional needs, annual vetting needs, and go from there. I’m sure we’ll be able to find a companion you’ll both love and enjoy. Thank you for the welcome! I’m still adjusting, and looking at making some changes to the place, but things are progressing!

Awesome! I’ll give the clinic a ring this afternoon, and get something set up for Friday if that works. I managed to nab a day off before the weekend, so I think that’ll work well because my daughter will be in school. I don’t want to get her too, too excited before I know what’s happening. Thanks for all the help, Doc! I’m looking forward to meeting with you and getting settled on something. It’s not a problem! I know it can be a lot, getting adjusted in a new town. But, we’re all pretty friendly around here, I’m sure you’ll be settled in no time. I can’t wait to see all the upgrades you make to the clinic, too. That place could use some life breathed back into it, since Doc Roberts passed.

flying-karl​:

karl smiled when the man got excited. “here, i’ll give you my phone number. so that way you tell me when you will head over. and i’ll make sure we make it special for her. i know how important stuff like that is to kids. so if i can help out in even the smallest way. i don’t hesitate.” karl said as he pulled out a flyer and wrote his number on the back for the man. 

Smiling, Sean pulled his phone from his pocket, ready to take down the man’s number. “That would be great, man. Thanks a ton for this. I know she’s just going to flip, absolutely flip. I’m not...Real great with all the dance and gymnastics and all that she wants to do. Most days I’m pretty convinced I’ll have to pick up a second job just to help out with all her activities.” Rolling his eyes playfully, he shook his head a bit. Realizing the man was writing his number on the flyer, Sean pocketed his phone and took the paper, glancing at it before folding it and placing it in his pocket. “I’ll hit you up this weekend, and let you know when we’re planning on heading over.”

snowburygreens​:

Good, yeah. Well, I wouldn’t want to say that you not having your daughter is a lucky thing, but I’m glad you can come out and have some fun. Though for the record, I wouldn’t mind her coming along, or hanging at your place if it’s too late for her to come out. That would have been fine with me too. So cheap beer and westerns are your thing? That would be cool, yeah. If you wanted to. I don’t want to put you out, I can give you gas money. I would like that, though. I’ll see you soon. Yeah.

Thanks for that. It seems I don’t get out too much these days. You...Wouldn’t? Man, I can’t say I’ve heard that too often since she was born. Unfortunately it seems everyone lost my number when she came along, especially since it’s just me and her. Not that that’s a bad thing, I’d rather have her than a million of those people. But, it’s just nice to hear someone doesn’t mind. That’s really cool of you, Ruben. I guess they kind of are, yeah. I don’t do much else, outside of work. You aren’t putting me out a bit, and I definitely won’t be taking any of your money. We’re going to the same place, it’s really no big deal. I offered, remember? I’m looking forward to it. 

[seanlowreyorigin]

snowburygreens​:

That’s a lucky coincidence, Sean. I’d offer to pick you up, but unless you want to ride in a grocery cart we should probably meet there. I’d like to go with you, yeah.

It is, I’d say. Normally I’d have my daughter but, she’s staying at a friend’s house tonight. So, really you’re saving me from a night of cheap beer and old Westerns I’ve seen about a million times apiece. While that sounds like it could be pretty thrilling, I think you’re right about it being better to forgo it. That doesn’t mean I can’t pick you up, though. If you want. We can meet there if you’d prefer. Good. Great. I’ll see you soon then. 

[seanlowreyorigin]

snowburyathletealec​:

Oh cool, pleased to meet you Sean.  Don’t worry, it’s not weird.  I’m kind of used to people knowing me.  And being a returning inhabitant of Snowbury, the word was going to travel.  Something I can help you with?

Likewise, man. I’m glad you don’t think so, I’d hoped not. I can imagine you would be, given your career. You’re recognizable. You’re right about that, nothing stays low key around here for long. Oh, not necessarily, just figured I’d do the polite thing and introduce myself. I hear you’re adding board games to the Moon Dance. I’m planning on bringing my daughter over sometime soon, she does enjoy board games. 

[seanlowreyorigin]

snowburycade​:

I’m glad they worked out well for you.  Well, it was always like that in my house, so it was what I was used to.  And my mom helped, especially when I was young and with things like the iron, or other potentially dangerous things.  But she wasn’t afraid to show me how things needed to be, how to do it, and then ask me to take care of things.  I think chores help build character.  Plus, gives you basic life skills.

I am too, man. My goal is to not have to replace every inch of this carpet before Myleigh is 16. I agree, I don’t see anything wrong with teaching kids and starting them young on chores. I know there’s a lot of people out there these days who don’t agree, but I feel like there has to be some sort of preparation for the real world. I just want to make sure she knows all she can.

dianageum​:

It seems like there’s a lot of things going on in town right now. Im actually kind of surprised there’s so much going on in a town this small. I was worried about being bored. Yeah, I think Moondance is first on my itinerary, but I’m sure there’s more to see. It’s nice to meet you Sean, I’m Diana. Do you by chance.. know how to service bikes too? 

There are yeah, it’s definitely connected to the Season. Help everyone find their soulmate and all that. Don’t be fooled, it can get boring around here at times. But, you know, if you’re anything like me sometimes that’s not a bad thing. Great, I’m sure you’ll really enjoy it. Word on the street is the new owner is busting ass to get the place more community-centric. So, there’s lots there to check out. They just had their first open mic night, if I’m not mistaken. There is more, definitely, it really just depends on what you’re looking for outside of coffee. It’s great to meet you too, Diana. That I do, yes, of all varieties- motor and non. What can I help with?

[seanlowreyorigin]

snowburyathletealec​:

I guess I’m not very helpful then.  That’s me, Alec Wilder.  And you are?  

Hey, it’s no big thing man. Like I said, I appreciate the response for sure. Oh, I’m Sean Lowrey. I work over at the auto shop in town. I didn’t mean to be weird, word just travels fast around here. 

[seanlowreyorigin]

snowburygreens​:

I’ve got a free night, if anyone wants to hang out. I was thinking about checking out that circus thing.

Hey, what a coincidence, I just so happen to have a free night myself. I wouldn’t mind checking it out with you, if you’re still in need of some company.
