@coffincoven | from here.
the bar is closed and they’ve been going at it back and forth while they clean up. sam’s been off since he showed up for his shift, particularly snippy without offering an explanation why. the truth is that he’s going through one of his half-assed bimonthly attempts at getting clean. it hasn’t even been a full twenty-four hours yet, but he’s already irritable and juliet’s stubborn refusal to quit asking him what’s going on is only making his budding headache worse.
even with just the two of them here at this hour, the tension in the bar feels stifling and eventually, it reaches a tipping point.
juliet grabs his jaw and drags him down to her level until they’re eye-to-eye, demanding, “look at me.”
and so, with no other choice, he does, jaw clenched tight. a sore loser.
“has anyone ever told you that you’re, like, really fucking nosy?”
