OOM: Surprise Blind Date with Nancy

After his heart to heart with Demeter, as they were always heart to heart with her, and all the confusion he's felt between his body, mind, and most of all his heart, Gus is more at ease than before but without any answers. He's already told The Devil once and for all it's off, he doesn't want to be that guy that keeps an open option - especially not an open option that could destroy him... and maybe still would. He's not that guy at all. Instead, he's been going through the motions; closing the case and helping get everything ready for the impending party.
The day after Juliet's birthday party, he gets a text message from Shawn telling him to be at Milliways as soon as possible at a bench by the lake. Later, it would occur to him that Shawn was clearly up to something - but as he walks a slow circle around the bench in the pink silk shirt and black slacks he'd worn to work for the day and waits for his friend to show it's more annoying than anything.

Then a lingering taste of plum and oak at the end." He pours out half-glasses and replaces the cork before he explains, "I've got an extra-sensitive sense of smell."

Date: 2012-05-31 10:26 pm (UTC)He examines her again, a little more closely as recognition lights on his face. Even though he's gotten used to people from different words, different times and different cultures in the bar... it's almost refreshing to have it explained to him.
"America, 2011."

Date: 2012-06-03 04:17 am (UTC)"You're a pretty amazing girl, then. I know a lot of people where I come from wouldn't be able to handle that kind of responsibility."
Honestly, part of him wonders if he even could.
