Nolan had felt like he was in a daze ever since he and Willow (Jane?) decided to officially end their relationship. Having clung to it for so long, he was feeling lost, and empty. He hadn't been at the art festival when the crack exploded, but now that all the water had receded back into the crack, he had decided to venture out and survey the damage himself.

"What the fuck," he marveled, peering over the edge to see if now there was a visible, albeit liquid bottom. It was near impossible to be alone when you were anywhere near the crack, so he followed up his explitave. "Did you see this thing when it went off?"

"heard you guys broke up. my condolences." it wasn't possible for nolan to sound the least bit sincere saying it. the look on his face bordered on smug, his gaze chasing hers.

Emre had reached out to Nolan, approaching him at the local cafe where he worked and asked him if he might want to meet about a more serious matter. Emre kept it vague, only saying that it was about Nolan's literally long-lost friend and that he wanted to help. He had the last week to look over the case files that were sent up to him from the Nashville office and it was time to meet with Nolan, "So," Emre stated, sitting down with his coffee, "I looked over all these files," they were sitting in front of him, "Is there a chance you'd be willing to recount what happened on that day, from your memories?"

"Scottie. Nolan."

If Atlas had to repeat himself one more time to the station desk clerk, he was going to lose his cool and end up hauled into one of the holding cells that he knows his sister was currently in. Lori telling him that Scottie had gotten herself arrested had managed to mostly sober him up, enough to have called her former foster father on the way so they he could secure actual bail money.

Just as the woman was about to say once again that there was no one by that name there tonight, Atlas tries something he doesn't want to work.

"Scarlett. Try Scarlett Nolan then, and don't fucking call her that if you know what's good for you."

He's not intending to be threatening as he makes his way back to the waiting area for her to be released before he could be issued with another warning to calm down. It was just impossible for him to play any sort of nice where cops were involved, even if it sounded like Scottie was reaping the rewards of a stupid move.

Three months. It was the longest she had been without Nolan. The most she had to be without him was a week, maybe two. But he had been deployed over in Afghanistan. It was hard, not being able to see him or talk to him as often. They tried video chatting when they could, but since they were on different time zones it was hard to get that moment where they were both awake and not busy. Wren did leave him some video messages when she could.

Logging on to send him a message, Wren was having a slumber party with Tanya and had quite a few drinks in her. She couldn't remember a time she was this drunk. "Hi babe!" She said into the camera. "I'm here with Tanya, Tanya say hi!" She called to her best friend. "Hi Nolan! I'm sleeping in your bed with Wren tonight." Laughing, Wren shook her head and put her hand over her eyes. "Anyways, I might be a little drunk but I wanted to remind you that you come home in ONE WEEK. I am so excited, I miss you so much. I love you, and everything about you. And you want to know a secret? When you come home, I'm asking you to marry me." She giggled. "Oh! And my house sold! So I'm all yours now, baby. Anyways, I love you. I can't wait to see you." She hiccupped a little as she shut the video off, satisfied with her message to him. @spiritusmuses

"I know I have a right to be angry, but I don't want to be." That might be a first for Nolan Stone who is known for his dramatics. But he's tired — just wants one things in his fucking life to be easy for once. "So, can we move past this? I promise not to hold onto it if you promise not to let it happen again." It is, perhaps, beneath him to be so forgiving, given the situation, but his exhaustion is to the bone.

it's only been a month since she was fired from her job as a pr manager for nolan ambrose and it’s been hard for her to find a job since. kelsey hated that she didn’t even know why he fired her; it was so out of the blue. hearing her phone ringing, she reached over to grab her phone off her nightstand to see who was calling her. nolan’s contact name appeared at the top; why was he calling her? clicking the green answer button, she brought her phone up to her ear. “hello?”

“I bet you five bucks and a beer I could beat you at surfing.” Alliannah joked, looking at the other. Her relationship with Nolan was nothing if it wasn’t complicated, and even on the times they were off again, she was still able to crack jokes and pick at him. It was better than arguing, at least that’s what she thought. Nudging her hip against his she laughed. “What do you say Murray? You up for a challenge today?”

"My brother. No question. No hesitation. And I say that knowing that he'd say the same for me. And it's not even hyperbole. I'd do it tonight if I had to and wouldn't even worry about getting caught so don't tempt me." @atlasnolan

"Hey, can I help you with something?"

The question, slightly tinged with annoyance, was directed at the lingerer at the abandoned concessions counter. It wasn't his fault — one of the projectors was down, and she was currently on hold with a maintenance company giving her the run-around.

But, put generously, Faye was a hands-off business owner, and she wasn't exactly used to being in her own place of business.

"We're between screenings until 5:30. Ticket counter's outside."

The pure desperation that had driven Nolan up to this point was like a different kind of adrenaline. He was nearly driven to madness by it, and yet here he was, finally having some evidence of where his (ex?) girlfriend had possibly wound up. The search had been long, and hard, but he absolutely refused to give up, despite almost everything pointing to the fact that he should have.

Finding Huntsville wasn't easy; and Nolan had crossed the line completely unaware of just how different his life was about to be now - both because of the Paradox, and because he had no idea what to expect when it came to the girl he used to know.

Driving into the town was weird; for the first time, he felt like he entered somewhere he shouldn't be. However, upon spotting the girl he'd been so desperate to find after all this time, he parked very haphazardly before bolting out of the car towards her, entire face lighting up. "Willow!" He called, grabbing her shoulder to turn to face him, pulling her into a hug. "Holy fuck I can't believe it's actually you I've been looking for you for so long."

"Okay, so this looks harder than I imagined," Ethan looked down the line at the next person that was rolling the white ball towards the pins. "You think it's rigged?" The man joked with the person in front of him in line, "I've got to test it out before the kids get here," he laughed softly, "mostly kidding, I've honestly just wanted to try it out myself and use the kids an excuse but they're off doing who knows what with their grandparents."

"Fucking stop," Buddy says from behind his closed apartment door, stalled in the process of going open it by having to be in pursuit of tiny, skinny legs that had scurried out after him from the couch the second there was a knock on the door.

He scoops the little dog up with one hand, holding him against his side as he opens the door with his unoccupied one, looking more flustered by the pint-sized dog than he ever was when multiple canines were in his care.

"Come in. Beware."

Lorelai's hips swayed slowly to the synth beat playing through the speakers before Submergence took the stage, arms winding into the air as she let the music wash over her. She looked every bit as mesmerising as a snake being charmed and just as deadly. A smile spreads across her lips as she spots Atlas pushing through the crowd. Something flutters inside her stomach. A feeling she can't quite give a name to yet.

"You took your time." Lorelai reaches for his hand, fingers lacing with his as she pulls him closer. I missed you, she wants to say, but instead she lets her body melt back into the rhythm of the music, dragging him with her. "Dance with me."

"Don't freak out yeah, but I think we have mice. Might be just the one mouse but something furry definitely darted across my foot when I walked into the kitchen," He tells her, practically hanging out of her bedroom doorframe as he leaned his head into her room to warn her, "You might wanna stay in here 'til I kill it."
