[ It's been eight days. Eight whole days. Better late than never, right? But in case anyone's yet to figure it out, he feels the need to make the announcement. He's sticking to text to avoid a metaphor slipping out; that's his story and he's sticking to it, okay? Okay. ]

We spoke a couple times.

Guess it happens here a lot, right? Glad you got the chance to meet him.

[charring]

Let me repeat my question. Are you okay? It's never fun when people go home.

[ He's reluctant to point out that him being gone from here means that he's also gone forever; he doesn't want to break it to anyone who doesn't already know, it's not his place. ]

It took me over a week to admit he's actually gone. But I'm good at bouncing back.

[charring]

I hope things get better for you.

[bettercallit]

Yeah, me too. But, hey, I hear alcohol is a good way of dealing with it if you're ever up for it.

[charring]

If I had the time today, I would. I'm gonna be busy for a couple weeks.

[bettercallit]

Got something big going on?

[charring]

Getting married tomorrow.

[And because she actually likes Barton....weddinginvite.jpg. Informal, sure. But it's tomorrow. And she's swamped with pre-wedding craziness today otherwise she'd run it over and and it to him.]

[bettercallit]

For someone who works in intelligence, I'm letting down the team. Congratulations.

[ He'll be there. It's been a while since he's been to a wedding. ]
