Ethan: I could never hate you. Ethan: That would be it. Consider this as me asking. Ethan: Every bag and suitcase is unpacked. Even survived being dragged to a charity event by mother dearest, so it's safe to say I've settled in okay.

Molly: I don't know. Maybe you hate me? Molly: More likely, I'm always at work, but you know I'll make time for you, all you have to do is ask. Molly: How are you? Settling okay?

[ethanmontgomery]

Ethan: How is it that I've been back for a month, and we still haven't hung out? @mollysmythe

[ethanmontgomery]

Wait, you sometimes hook up with people? I can't remember the last time I did such a thing... the last time must have been in college, I think.

Not since college. I tend to get a little further out from town if I'm going to possibly hookup with someone.

[ethanmontgomery]

Ethan: To be honest, I blocked so much from those days that I can't remember if you did or didn't say anything insulting. Going to law school was not for me. I saw the light, decided to not follow the path my parents wanted me to be on and became a teacher. Ethan: I guess there are worse places to be when your truck breaks down.

Mack: Hopefully I didn't say anything insulting... There are very few people in this life I ever expected to run into again, so I feel you. As for what brings me here, my truck broke down in Allentown and between getting it fixed and the hotel stays, I ended up figuring it was cheaper to rent an apartment and start saving up again, since it killed my savings.

Ethan: Great! Truthfully, I have no idea what is playing atm, so if there's a movie you want to see we can go see that.

ethan: Hi, I was wondering if you feel like meeting up. Maybe go to a movie together?

Delilah: I would like that - is there a film you wanted to see?

[ethanmontgomery]

There are some familiar and some not-familiar names on that list, and I can't wait to meet all of them—and you, of course—and catch up on all things Bearcreek.

Ah, yes, that does sound like a huge problem. What if someone offered to host the brunch at their place, and we brought our own alcohol? Maybe we could rotate hosting duties within the group.

Oh god, I actually need to make a list now, don't I? So far like -- you, and Tina and Daria and Delilah and Frankie and Juni, and maybe Robbie, and I also cannot guarantee that one (or both) of my brothers won't crash periodically. That's like a whole-ass group effort to get you caught up, I totally think we can do it.

Finding someplace that sells them, honestly. There are so many sources of tasty treats in town, but not so much on the mimosas. Sad face.

[ethanmontgomery]

Ethan: Ding ding ding... the southern accent... I do remember that very clearly. That you were. Never thought I'd run into you ever again, especially not in a town like this. What brings you here? Don't worry; I know I'm not memorable to most people. I'm perfectly fine with that.

Mack: Especially if said memory includes a southern accent. I was "Y'alternative" before it was cool. Yeah, can't say you, in particular, are familiar, but I saw so many students in and out of the bookstore so...

[ethanmontgomery]

Congratulations, it's great to hear that you won that lawsuit. I can only imagine how happy you are that you won and that you get to keep your medical license. Wow, that must have been a tough decision to make. Maybe easy because of their lack of support, but leaving a position you had for 10 years and not knowing what the future will bring... that's brave!

Do you have any idea of what you want to do next? Still in the medical field, or perhaps something new entirely?

I honestly never thought I would say this, but I figured people are probably going to find out at some point anywhere. The wrongful death suit is finally over, and thankfully it went in my favor. I'm glad that I can keep my medical license, but this whole situation has really made me start thinking about some things. I've officially made the decision to leave the hospital. I've been there for nearly 10 years, and when they didn't even consider backing me in the lawsuit...that spoke volumes to me. In fact, they tried to frame me as negligent in their own defense. I don't know what I'm going to do just yet, but I know that my time with Garden Grove is over. So...on to the next chapter, I suppose?

[ethanmontgomery]

Ethan: I remember someone working in the bookstore that fits that description so that must have been why I had the feeling we met before. I was the typical law school student who rushed in and out of the store at least once a week. Wouldn't surprise me if we all looked alike to someone, ha

Mack: I started at Harvard 14 years ago, so it's definitely possible we crossed paths that way. Worked in the campus bookstore. Had long hair and facial piercings back then.

Out of curiosity, have you ever drunkenly hooked up with a colleague or someone you had to see again? Agreed, a kiss can't hurt.

@ethanmontgomery replied to your post “FMK: Robbie, Ethan, Sam”:

I'm right there with you on the F thing with a coworker, it would makes things extremely awkward. Perfectly satisfied that you gave kiss to me.

​I'm not one for doing such with anyone, but especially not people I work with or otherwise will have to see again on a semi-regular basis. But a kiss can't hurt.

[ethanmontgomery]

PM: I know we’re slowly trying to figure things out and this could potentially be a proper mess…. But if you ever find yourself missing kisses, or having your hair played with, I’d be happy to help you out.

[PM] ..... You have no idea how tempting this is, Lily. I miss it so much...

[ethanmontgomery]

Kissing is seriously underrated. If there's one I miss dearly since I'm single, it is a good makeout session. And when they play with your hair while kissing -HEAVEN!

@ethanmontgomery

My lips are getting quite the workout with all these FMK replies. Thanks, man.

No problem, dude! Honestly, awesome to see you taking it in stride. Kissing is super underrated anyway. Like, yeah, the good stuff is the good stuff, but people underestimate how awesome a good makeout session is, in my humble opinion.

[ethanmontgomery]

Ethan: Oopsie, it is a weird question, but I had to ask. You look so familiar. Harvard might explain it; I went there about 15 years ago, give or take a year or two.

Mack: Weird question is weird, but yeah, I did. Went to Harvard then stuck around for a few years after, why?

[ethanmontgomery]

ethan: You do remember. That's actually the way I like my coffee. ethan: I'll see you in a little while.

delilah: I see delilah: Ameretto most of the time, gingerbread in the winter? Unless that's changed?

[ethanmontgomery]

Ethan: I'm sorry to invade your privacy like this but the more posts I see on my dash from you, the more I wonder if we've met before. Did you ever live in or near Boston, MA?

[ethanmontgomery]

ethan: I know, I can't help doing just that anyway, sorry not sorry. ethan: I think so too. ethan: you still know my favorite coffee?

delilah: You don't have to worry about my heart, Ethan. Worry about your own, they're your parents. delilah: I'm sure you'll find that here. unsent: You want to settled down now? delilah: I'll have your favourite coffee waiting.

[ethanmontgomery]

ethan: still breaks my heart knowing that they're able to make you feel that way. I want to see you happy, not sad. ethan: I'm sure I will. I'd like a place big enough to settle down, and that has a yard. ethan: Yes, ma'am, I'll see you at 2.

delilah: The fact still remains that they make me sad.

delilah: I'm sure you'll find something you like, this place has a lot to offer

delilah: Meet me at my shop around 2?
