“Don’t,” Asher growled, tears burning his unwilling eyes. “Don’t you dare bring up any of that shit. We- we weren’t good for each other and you know that.” There were reasons he and the other man broke up—reasons he can’t bring himself to think of now that he’s standing in front of Asher. “These memories are nothing to me. So just leave, okay? Please.”

It was meant to be a simple test drive outside of London. Edward had been training to get his pilot license for the past few weeks. It was something he wanted since he left the academy and had been something he had put off. With the extra time the succession caused, he allowed himself time to do this. The completion of the training had ended a couple of weeks ago and it seemed a good idea to do this for Elise. He had already contacted the ones he needed to in New York for this to happen. First, he wanted to make sure everything would go clean and invited Asher to accompany him. Of course being in a helicopter still meant for him to have security. There were two sitting in the back and cars below following their directions. The first twenty minutes had been easygoing without any problems. There was a small field that Edward landed down on just to reassess. After a few minutes, the engine light seemed to flash which was anything but a minor inconvenience. 

“No service,” Edward said impatiently with tight pressed lips. They were standing outside along with the security. The fuel was indeed inside the helicopter but needed to go through a few steps that Edward had been told would take some time. “The nearest town is only twenty minutes. Could get in a car, find a pub, be there for an hour or two. Might be better than standing out here.”

It had been a busy week and when Elise left, Edward felt like he was falling back into what his life was like before which seemed lackluster in comparison. On Monday, he was planning on returning to Edinburgh to see his parents before their holiday was over. They only got a month of the whole entire year and he wanted to spend as much time with them as possible. Edward wanted to see Asher as well as it had been a few weeks since they saw each other. Asher had been one of his few genuine friends from university and had kept in contact through all these years. With that, it was in his right to tell him everything about Elise as well as his night before with Rosie and Wes. 

There were many places right outside the palace across the street, making it accessible for him to walk there with a few guards trailing him. He was irritated that there were measures in place, going inside the tavern only for one guard to follow him and sit somewhere else to be discrete. He knew the other guards would be outside as was usual. When he saw his friend, he didn’t waste time in embracing him. “You’ve returned to me as a...single man? Taken man? I can’t keep up with your bipolar texts.” Edward leaned on the counter to order his own drinks, ignoring the looks he received. “So, how was New York?”
