    Summary

    He was just too tired to deal with much of anyone these days.

    Hearing the sound of a feminine throat clearing though, seeing the color of sunshine in his peripheral and getting a whiff of sweetness has him looking over.

    Or: He was a divorced dilf, she was a troubled girl at a bar she shouldn't be at...Can I make it anymore obvious?

    Summary

    Her hair is blunt from weeks under the burning sun, but he likes the way it falls over her shoulder all the same when she leans closer towards his face. He’s delirious, feels the drool of radiated saliva drip from his mouth. Everything inside him wants to eat her, to tear her to pieces, to dig into her stomach and make a home inside her chest cavity. He wants to kiss her like a dying man, wants to be so deep inside her that there’s no room for anything else, swallow any noise she would make.

    Summary

    Eddie knows he hasn’t got a chance in hell with Chrissy, but God, what he would give to just try.

    So yeah, he takes a moment. Inhales deeply, tasting the cold in the air, listening to the snow melt drip from trees. Last chance, Munson, he thinks.

    He’s going to be gone after he graduates. What the fuck does he have to lose? Maybe he misses the mark completely and she never speaks to him again…but how will that be any different than the current status quo? It’ll be a few more months of desperate, angst ridden pining, and then – well, then he’ll never see her again.

    How the hell is he supposed to live with himself if he doesn’t even try?

    Summary

    “You know birds have hollow bones?” She says quietly into the thick air. “If I had hollow bones, I would fly away from here.”

    “And where would you go, your majesty?” His voice is low to match her volume, fingers still wrapped loosely around hers.

    “Just away,” Somewhere I can be free, she thinks, but doesn’t say aloud.

    Overhead, the purple finch flies off the tree branch.

    ———

    Chrissy is struggling. Eddie helps.
