“You have to do better….. If not for you, for her. Okay?” She gently patted his arm.
❝ I know , I still hear her sometimes - ❞ in a slight drunken stupor or in the dark place with every flicker of light , telling him to get up , get out there , be better , heal , grow , learn ...
❝ I just — hope she can forgive me for everything. ❞
“You have to do better….. If not for you, for her. Okay?” She gently patted his arm.
❝ I haven't ... Visited her yet - ❞ he admits , ❝ Because if I go , then it's real ... ❞ he waits for her to come home , hoping she'll walk through the door , but she never will. He could fix it - at what cost ?
Amanda gently slaps him on the top of his head. She could only do such a thing when he’s sitting down.
“Guess who?”
Amanda gently slaps him on the top of his head. She could only do such a thing when he’s sitting down.
“Guess who?”
Amanda smiles as she leaves.
❝ That sounds like a plan to me. ❞ he nods a little , a smile as he looks down at Amanda , ❝ See you. ❞
“Alright. I’ll be back Imo…… Around 5 hours? How does that sound?”
Taking another slow sip from her coffee.
Amanda smiles as she leaves.
“Alright. I’ll be back Imo…… Around 5 hours? How does that sound?”
Taking another slow sip from her coffee.
❝ Eventually - ❞ of course , she had paperwork , he had manuscripts , it's sorta the same but very different.
❝ But — yeah wanna - come by the apartment building later ? ❞
She’s writing too. But her writing is a bit different compared to his. Paperwork…. She was buried in it.
“Alright. I’ll be back Imo…… Around 5 hours? How does that sound?”
Taking another slow sip from her coffee.
She said rather flatly with a frown on her face. She didn’t like to see hun like this. And she didn’t want him to sink any further than he already is now.
“I guess we’ll have to hold each other accountable. No flaking out…”

❝ ... I can't stop — ❞ if he stops , everything falls apart , if he's not writing now , he knows some point , somewhere , some world , he is sat at a typewriter and channelling stories.
❝ I need to get back into the flow of working , there is ... Only so much you can take of being >>
“Just don’t push yourself too hard…..”
She said rather flatly with a frown on her face. She didn’t like to see hun like this. And she didn’t want him to sink any further than he already is now.
“I guess we’ll have to hold each other accountable. No flaking out…”

She was a little shocked to hear that. But happy. He always put so much into his writing. And she understood how hard that was for him. Especially after everything he went through.
“Can’t wait to hear more about it. Maybe even read it.”

❝ Sure thing , works well for me —— I'm stopping by the writers office for a few hours but then I'll be totally free. ❞
Since he was back , his disappearance was called the stunt of the century , but to close friends of the Wake's , he was a man finally dealing with the grief of losing his wife>
“You know. That would actually be nice. I can use a break…..”
She leaned against the counter and sighed.
“You want to do something tonight?”

❝ Why ? I mean we can go and - do something fun for a little bit maybe ? God knows I need fun ... ❞
And to get out of the house to be honest.
“You know. That would actually be nice. I can use a break…..”
She leaned against the counter and sighed.
“You want to do something tonight?”
“Well….. that’s good at least….”
Taking a sip from her coffee, she frowned a little.

❝ ... I'm never in any trouble , ❞ actually he's been on a bit of a low , since going back to Parliament Tower , alone , seeing how Alice lived ... He couldn't stay there with how it was , he's been redecorating.
Though he hasn't been in the main bedroom , that's locked up , he sleeps in the >>
“Thanks Alan…… God you’re such a savior. This was just what I needed.”

“Been keeping out of trouble?”
A little smile , seeing Amanda around was always a highlight to his very boring days — given ... Everything —— Alan appreciates the quiet she sometimes brings.
❝ Coffee ? ❞ he got her one in a to-go cup.
