Ah thank you! I always get nervous when people read this story. In one sense, it's my favorite (because it's my first) but it's hard to read because I can see so many things I'd do differently now. But I won't touch it because it serves a purpose.
chapter
thirty-one
loe
The breeze isn’t enough to ease the sting of the sun against my skin. I’d rather be in the snow, cruising the slopes but here I am instead, lounging by the pool, earbuds in, music blasting loud enough that I can momentarily pretend I’m not sharing the next two weeks with two dozen people.
At what point does it turn from a normal vacation to a seriously fucked up National Lampoon Vacation? Asking for a friend.
Something passes in front of the sun,
Isn’t THAT about the best compliment ever.
I was a lot of drama back in 2017 when I wrote this. Glad you’re enjoying my epically long chapters. It’s why you HAVE to write a running commentary
I love that @mfa607 was like "Another ready through, hot chapter" and the very next comment is the least sexy scene of the entire 8k words lol. I'm dead.
Definitely. They already talked in a previous chapter about things looking different than they have. The new coffee shop will take a lot of their time and a bit of their focus, but he’ll still be posting everyday. It’s probably so engrained in him he wouldn’t know how to.
And yes, so much power. I can’t even… 🤯🤯🤯
It was the hardest thing I've ever done. 1,000 word stories should be banned.
I've been toying with turning this into a story of it's town. Friends to lovers. Maybe.
