An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Only once she’s on the train, the distance between her and Carmy growing more and more, does she feel like she can breathe.
She tries to quiet the chastising voice in her head that is still berating herself for sleeping with Carmy by focusing on planning her next steps.
This is her plan: she will make the journey back to Hyde Park, where she will finish packing away what little belongings she’d accumulated during her Bachelor’s. She will withdraw all the applications she’d made to restaurants here in New York. Instead, she will apply to places back home in Chicago, probably move back in with her dad for a bit.
She will forget about Carmen Berzatto and the night they shared.

Sydney and Carmy spend a night together just before she graduates from CIA. She never expected to see him again, much less wind up working at his family restaurant in Chicago.

He could tell Mikey how fucking angry he is with him, for completely shutting him out when he was alive then fucking offing himself without giving Carmy the decency to even say goodbye, leaving Carmy with silence and unanswered questions.
Or he could tell him how much he fucking misses him, how much having the most coveted culinary job in the country, and all the accolades and awards he’s won for his cooking, all means nothing to him when compared to his big brother’s approval, or when compared to just having Mikey still be here with him, alive and whole.
In the end, with his vision blurry from his tears and his hands shaking from his barely contained emotions, all he manages to text is this:
“I made hamachi with a blood orange reduction that will only ever be eaten by one person. I fucking miss you.”

Or: Five times Carmy texts Mikey about Sydney, and one time he doesn't.
