you sat in the overly red velveted fancy restaurant as you dipped on a cold glass of water. He did this often. Planned a date then showed up late… it’s that annoying… especially when you’ve known him for over 12 years. However. This was a constant thing

ever since he joined that stupid and fucking dangerous liberation militia. And got his younger brother involved. It had killed his father, sister, and god knows who’s next! How Jude managed to book fancy restaurants like this and got get caught for his ID was astonishing

you grabbed your bag from under your chair as you took out a tic tac box and ate two before you heard some moron burst into the restaurant and come over to you - now sitting opposite

did I say moron? I meant Jude. Same thing. Like synonyms “Sorry, love, got caught in… traffic” bull, first, he didn’t have a car - he had a motorcycle. Second, he was just busy because of some ransom work with Persephone Hadley… everytime
