You and I wear the dangerous looseness of doom and find it becoming.

       “... are you high right now ??”

                now’s when you say no.                 even if that’s a lie.

she’d already stepped down from the curb which she’d been propped. this was the closest thing to a routine they had – ( it didn’t take much convincing anymore. ) hands in back pockets, calm but anticipating. 

    “where are we going?” 

[vermilien]

he knows exactly where they're going, as  well  as  she knows exactly where they're going-- but his only response in  a  shrug  of  the  shoulders, and  a smug "i dunno" kind of look.

         meanwhile, 

         it's a sunny day,  one of the first in          what's felt like decades, and there          are  only so many  things to do on          days like these in the sunshine          state.

                     he  takes  her  hand, &                      they lead  each  other                      towards their promised land.

eyes!

Eyes-- ( this meme. )

Sam's eyes are brown ( a lighter brown )-- all around typical, if you ask him. You wouldn't stop, and marvel at his eyes for their color, or the length of his eyelashes; however, you might stop to admire what's behind them. He's always alert-- his eyes are nearly never dropping, but rather wide open, and taking in as much as they can. You can see the thought. The consideration. The planning. Anger. It's all there. You definitely don't look into his eyes for the color.

"did someone actually   threaten you-- ??"

If you find yourself in a cage with a lion, in panic and distress, ask yourself, “How did I get here?” I’ll tell you one thing - the lion didn’t open the door for you. And even if he had, whose decision was it to step in?

    "you got yourself a deal," 

              he slips her the cheap bic lighter, which                   is nearly out of juice-- but he's sure it's got                                           a least few more sparks in it.

   “so— five dollars instead of two?     will that  cover  your  services?”

      "i'd like to think i'm worth a           little more than pocket change." 

         a moment of thought. 

                              "gonna say-- thirty."

“And what would be the fun in that?” He jeered, then adding, “Fine. No theatrics. Now what?”
