lake fucking wisteria, man. what a damn place to be. a tinge of nerves in his stomach, merritt is decently positive that his welcome home caravan will be much smaller than most. a small town that remembers just how much of a delinquent the boy used to be. an ex-con ( the second one in a handful of months ) isn’t exactly the easiest person to watch waltz back into your perfect little town. however, there’s a few people who are sort of required to be elated by his arrival. early release’s best gift is seeing his friends and family sooner than expected. bags and most worries left at home, merritt makes his way to one of the parks along the lake. it, admittedly, takes him time to find it. fourish years changes a lot, but he eventually stumbles upon his favorite curly-haired photographer. right where dante said she’d be. “hey, tiny,” the old, rarer nickname tumbles from his lips. wide, bright smile as he approaches her. “little birdie told me i might find you here.”

deep breath in - hold firm - slow breath out. one, two, three. merritt pushes the back door open, stepping out onto the back porch of owen and dante’s shared cabin with a fresh pack of cigarettes. lucky strikes. sort of an olive branch, he hopes. there’s a little ‘tiny 🖤’ written on the back of the package. saying sorry isn’t easy for a boy like merritt. it’s hard to feel apologetic when half of him really isn’t. how in the world can he be sorry for something that is purely out of his love for august? his desire to keep her in his orbit, not in some sad city on the opposite coast. he extends the hand that has the pack of smokes in it to the girl on the outdoor couch before sitting down beside her. silence. perhaps until she opens the pack or sees his favored nickname for her. maybe then things will be okay again. maybe. but he’s too talkative of a guy, too impatient, to just sit here, so he looks to her with a soft sigh. “i don’t want you to leave,” clears throat. “but that doesn’t mean i should be an ass to you.”
