( where did you come from why did this happen )

[crowflies]

C'mon, you and I both know how this play pans out. So you get a little weak in the knees for tough guys with complicated family lives. It's nothing I haven't seen before. [ He pauses, knits his eyebrows in an expression somewhere between sympathetic and patronizing. ] You and me, darlin'? How's that gonna work out better than any of the last times?

AVA, she shouts excitedly

[crowflies]

Yeah, well. [ He can't exactly argue with that, given that it's a practically a compliment. ] In my experience, lotta tough guys don't have the brains to know when a plan isn't working for them either.

I couldn't resist :3

Where I'm from, you just keep workin' till it does. Things'll pan out eventually. [That was her experience anyway.] Hell, even the place I got sent ain't too bad at the end of the day.

i'm glad you didn't!

[crowflies]

"Ain't too bad" isn't much of a ringing endorsement, I gotta say.

EEE! I'm glad!

[pinball_reset]

Considerin' I gotta sleep around on my fiancé, I can't give it much more.

[crowflies]

[ Well, shit. ]

That sounds like a recipe for things getting really messy really fuckin' quickly.

[pinball_reset]

You got no idea. Things are already gettin' messy, just not with him.

[She was still dealing with the aftermath of him being jailed and all the problems it brought...though she still supported his decision.]

You should see the way some people fight over infidelity though, it's a little ridiculous all things considered.
