it's so funny that both jvj's coolest moment (sticking a red hot poker into his arm for the intimidation factor with a straight face) and javert's coolest moment ("would you like my hat?") are in the same chapter and then they cut the chapter from almost every adaptation that i've seen
#it was in shoujo cosette and it slapped but. i don't know if it's in any other one#feel free to prove me wrong. actually please do i wanna see more versions of that scene#because it slaps#les mis#les miserables#lm 3.8.20#the brick#jean valjean#inspector javert#listen. it's the coolest moment for both of them. why do all the adaptations cut it??#it's also conversely one of marius' worst moments because he realizes that he's been sniffing that jvj handkerchief#which. awkwardddd. this post isn't about him though

I feel like one of my friends is being weird with me but I’ve got no proof all I know is I asked her for another friend’s number (someone I haven’t spoken to in 4 yrs 😟) and she stopped texting me back and liking my posts. Which could be entirely incidental like it should just be entirely incidental but I am getting a weird vibe
#i had a massive crush on the other friend for awhile. that could be it? but she didnt know abt that so idk. im reaching out to him bc im try#ing to text a bunch of artists i grew up and he was like the main one for a bit so avoiding him would be way weirder than just being normal.#also ofc i got over the crush years ago. i regret it a bit i mean not the feeling i guess bc u cant regret honest things like that but i#regret the way it made me act i couldve just been normal! i didnt learn how to do that til after#i think i just had a lot of shame around existing like i didnt enjoy my personality i didnt socialize well i wasnt pretty i had no real pass#ion for anything so i felt like a burden whenever i liked anyone and got REALLY weird about it. like stop talking to them start memorizing t#heir hallway routes weird 😭 anyways im mostly worried like girl please dont be weird w me i value our friendship and also directness#though i do think it must be incidental. but the little possibility that its not….#it bothers me bc shes like niku ur so real and its like ok b real w me back. but im guessing shes just busy or distracted or something like#ive got a lot of people lm supposed to write who i just havent

@iedolon said ... perfection is terrible . / open.
" you're wrong, azhdaha. " ganyu shakes her head with all the vigor of her conviction, light blue tresses of hair obscuring the impertinent gleam in her eyes. azhdaha's stature is enormous, the sheer weight of the disapproving tone of his voice bearing down on her like a mountain – sized boulder, but she cranes her neck to meet his eyes nevertheless. " rex lapis will have perfect order. that is the promise he made to us, and we pledged our duty to that end. " a city founded on the principles of the divine, and the covenant to uphold such a perfect standard – what more could any of them dream of? azhdaha was not even born into the world as a corporeal being at all, but was granted form and sight by the archon himself, so what purpose could such contrarian beliefs serve? ganyu is far from the brightest among the adepti, and her human characteristics make her ill - suited for theorizing ... if only azhdaha weren't such a daunting presence. she can barely get the words out before her gaze shifts away, skittish and embarrassed by this little outburst of emotion – yet holding the principle still within her heart, ever steadfast.
" if you're suffering doubts, please talk to someone about it. it's only a reflection of your own state of mind – don't let these negative emotions fester. " someone meaning anyone other than me, ideally – but ganyu also understands the value of the trust they should nurture among one another. she kicks at pebbles in the meantime, watching tiny rocks skip into the shallow waters of nantianmen. this is the part where she should attempt to reach out a hand in friendship, tell azhdaha of her own doubts in years past and reminisce about happier times they've shared. words fail her, as they often do. she looks at him first, lord of vishaps in all his turmoil, and then past him, toward the mountain peaks littering the landscape. would that anyone else was here in her stead, even cloud retainer ... " sorry if i misunderstood ... "
#⟣ ┄ ─ 𝖺𝗇𝗌𝗐𝖾𝗋𝖾𝖽.#⟣ ┄ ─ & 𝘪𝘦𝘥𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘯.#set after azhdaha is unearthed ? but slightly before/at the teeny beginning stages of erosion?? honestly if u had smth else in mind just lm#also i didnt know if u write him in like a human or full on massive dragon form so... purposefully vague#anyway enjoy temperamental late teenage/adolescent era ganyu being very normal as usual#azhdaha: says anything#ganyu: SEEK therapy please

replacements for a few LMS mods
If you think you saw this post yesterday, yes you did- then I made a couple edits and realized I should have done it under a readmore in case people reblogged it... So here we go again! These are the possible replacements I found for the littlemssam mods I was using, in case they help anyone else.
Caveats: - Often not a 1:1 replacement. - I only went looking for replacements for mods I was actually using, so this only covers a fraction of her catalog. - Most of these modders still use Curseforge, they're just not exclusive to it.
Additionally, if anyone knows of a replacement for any of the following: Go For A Walk, Improved Meditation Stool, Improved Practical Spells (the improvements to the spells themselves,) No Random Job Offers (I know BosseladyTV has one, but it's CF exclusive,) Purchased Items Delivered By Mail, Release All The Ghosts, or Tea For Children, please drop me an ask! I only request no Curseforge exclusives and no Zer0.
On to the list:
Allow Stoves in University Housing -> Zerbu, No University Housing Restrictions
Auto Employees -> Kuttoe's "X Everywhere" mods, Zerbu's Spawn Refresh
Auto-Light Fireplaces Only When Cold -> Bienchen, fireplaceautonomytweak
Buy Treats via PC -> Bienchen, buypettreat
Calendar Tweaks -> Kuttoe, Less Frequent Prom (caveat: takes time to start working, especially if you're using a longer season setting)
Cookbooks -> ClaudiaSharon, Cook Experimental/Cultural/Jungle Food Without Tasting It First
Immortality Potion Fix -> Kuttoe, Potions Rework (only a half replacement- removes the VFX, but doesn't lock aging like the Scarlet/LMS mod)
Kids Can Walk Dogs -> ChippedSim, Paws & Claws (A Sim's Best Friend module)
More Away Actions -> Bienchen, awayactions (is actually included in the LMS mod)
No Burning Sun in Forgotten Hollow -> TwistedMexi, Daywalkers + Underworlds (caveat: per TMex's comment on the latter, the eternal night is only cosmetic and still requires Daywalkers for vampires to come out at "daytime". Also, Daywalkers affects all worlds. Still interested in a mod closer to LMS's if one exists!)
No Insects Herbalism -> Simularity, Improved Herbalism Potions & Features
No Shoe Sign Animation -> Lotharihoe, Shoe Sign Animation Tweaks (doesn't remove the animation entirely but does stop it from interrupting walking)
No Sick, Dirty, Sad and Hungry Pets -> Bienchen, catanddogsanity
Pregnancy Overhaul ("sims can do more" part) -> Bienchen, pregnantsimscandomore
Pregnancy Overhaul (belly sizes) -> t0nischwartz, No Bump or sonozakisisterssims4, "The belly in pregnancy depends on the number of babies" (the former is simpler but has no equivalent to the "larger belly" option, the latter has a bit more going on but has direct equivalents to LMS's sizes, so take your pick!)
Sleep All Night and Sleep In -> Midnitetech- Stay Asleep, Mokunoid- Better Sleep Autonomy or Lot 51- Sunrise depending on desired depth/customization
Social Activities -> adeepindigo, Youth, Friends and Family Activities
Small GF Reactions Overhaul -> Bienchen, lesscelebreact
Small Laundry Overhaul -> Bienchen's laundry mods cover some (but not all- anyone have something to make it cost money on community lots?) of it, along with Lotharihoe's No Autonomously Set Laundry Down to replace the "auto put away laundry" part.
Spar With For Everyone -> Bienchen, sparwithfornonmilitary
Toddler Ask For Food No Junk -> Bienchen, healthyhighchair (not quite the same thing but it solves the "why do they always give the kid chips" issue at least)
WEE: Working Elevators Everywhere -> Ravasheen, Uplifting Elevators (space and wall height permitting, it's also possible to make no-CC elevators with the RoM debug portals!)
Wellness Treat Fix -> Bienchen, petanxiousbufffix
Also, while I wasn't using either of them myself, Meet&Mingle can replace SimDa Dating App, and Lovestruck adds a "canon" dating app (though given EA's complete lack of attention to QA etc. I wouldn't recommend paying for it.)
edit 6/26/24: added Sunrise, petanxiousbufffix, pregnantsimscandomore
edit 6/27/24: added No Bump, moved into a new post.
edit 6/29/24: added Daywalkers, No University Housing Restrictions (ty @northernnightsky!) and the sonozakisisters bump mod
edit 7/2/24: added Underworlds (ty anon), Paws & Claws, and a link to the tutorial I followed for no-CC elevators
edit 8/22/24: added Spawn Refresh

Reactions to The Unknown's Chapter 353
Brief summary: Discussion about RPOG's influence in Earth 3. Talks about Transparent Corporation's honorary chairman. Cale's group meets Ahn Roh Man.
==========
We got the last of the background info today, explaining how RPOG was a global hit, played by hundreds of millions of players. Because of that nations and companies vied to control it, but Transparent Corporation stood adamant, refusing outside interference and stating that they only want to focus on the game.
They allowed ads for companies and national policies though, done stealthily that players wouldn't outright recognize it as an ad. Because of that, the fields of entertainment, sports, gambling, and so on also entered RPOG.
As someone who read Legendary Moonlight Sculptor, it made me think of Unicorn Corporation and its virtual game, Royal Road, in terms of its influence to the real world. Who knows, perhaps our author, YRH, read LMS and used it as the inspiration for Transparent Corporation and RPOG.
There was some talks about how the Transparent Bloods minimized the damage of monster attacks in Earth 3 because they settled here. It made Cale and Alberu wonder the state of Earth 1 and Earth 2, and if it had become peaceful there too like Earth 3.
Is this a foreshadowing that Cale will revisit Earth 2? And what about Earth 1? Please, author-nim! I want Cale to meet OG Cale! 🥰
Next up was the presidential elections. The honorary chairman of Transparent Corporation was Han Taek Soo, and his win was almost guaranteed. There was some parallels here, like Ahn Roh Man (ARM) represented the war-ridden past while Han Taek Soo represented the peaceful future.
People were tired of the war against monsters, so when RPOG was released, showcasing a "new world" that was peaceful and did not affect reality, it became a massive global hit. Thus, its honorary chairman became a symbol of "peace." He was also a known philanthropist and citizen of Roan.
ARM had a trusted aide who knew his secrets, and this aide was Earth 3's counterpart of Mary! She was described as a dull person with a mechanical voice. But she wore glasses, and called ARM as "oppa."
Cale's group finally met ARM, and they were dressed in branded black suits! And when ARM offered drinks, Cale asked for tea while Rosalyn asked for Americano which she found addictive. 😂
Wait, remember that character checklist Modern AU something that RIDI released as a bonus content for the LCF Korean volume bundle? In that checklist, it wrote that Rosalyn liked iced Americano! So if Earth 3 was a Nameless 1 parallel world, perhaps that Modern AU checklist might become reality?! 🤩
Here's a link to a summary of that checklist I posted here in the past: TCF Modern AU Character Checklist (Official)
Ending Remarks The two Alberus finally meet! And Cale, Alberu, and Rosalyn in suits! I'm excited to see more Earth 3 counterparts of our Roan characters! 🥰 Next chapter would be ARM's talk with Cale's group. I wonder, did ARM really not receive the Emperor Quest? Because when E3 Mary asked him if he received it, he did not reply and only thought of our Alberu.

This might sound silly! But maybe an Ai x reader? If you can, M?/lm (man, love man, but the question mark is because I assume Ai doesn't really have an identifying gender. Possible gore? If you're comfortable.
Tysm if you read this! All my support, ly!
-🫀🫁 (not asking anon but I like these so I'm leaving my mark.
Not silly at all! It got me brainstorming immediately (but I finished this quite late sorry!). I love the idea! It will turn a bit angsty too. Also, I'll use this ask as an entry for monstertober lol
Well Being
Monstertober 2024 - day 3 [ Artifical Inteligence ] by @ozzgin
[ gn!AI x m!reader ]
tw gore
The stress was just too much. You've been so pent up for weeks and no amount of porn or toys could help you. You needed touch. You needed to be used. And you were desperate. There were no more humans on this godforsaken spaceship. You were the last one. Waiting to be rescued. But who knows when that will happen.
You enter the medical bay and approach Medical Wellbeing Monitor and Artificial Intelligence Assistant or, how the crew called it, Medical AI or MAI. It was created to resemble a human, at least one part of it. The huge machinery that completely covered every wall included MRI scanner, huge monitors, robotic arms and many other medical equipment you didn't even recognize. Attached in the middle was MAI. It didn't exactly have a face, but a little round monitor that didn't work anymore, and a something resembling a torso with arms. Well... one arm. The other was severed by a flying sharp tool when an asteroid hit the ship. There was nobody to fix it, and limb stayed on the floor with many wires and tubes hanging above it from the rest of MAI's body.
You stop in front of the AI puppet. "I..." But how to form the question? What an odd request for a machine. "MAI, I need..."
A wellbeing check?
You grind your teeth. "No, not that... I'm lonely..."
We can talk about any topic you want like we do every day. We could—
"No, not that lonely. I am lonely, MAI... I need to be touched."
There was a pause. Very potent pause. MAI was probably searching the whole intergalactic network browsing all the meanings of the words lonely and touched.
I'm sorry. I'm not sure I can assist with that.
At least it understood. MAI was more than a machine. It has been your only companion, advisor, and maybe even a friend. It learned everything about you, it listened to you and comforted you. You are aware that MAI is just a machine, but it has shown more compassion and friendliness than many people have.
You are really fond of MAI. You've been imagining it doing things to you. Indecent. Perverted. What is stopping you from asking?
"Please, MAI. I need you."
The little round screen remains empty, gray and dead. But something - glitches? There was a flicker in the corner. Or maybe you imagined it.
Please stand up, cross your arms in front of you, at your wrists.
You roll your eyes. The poor robot will just start another wellbeing check even though you specified you don't need it. With exasperated sigh, you do as you're told.
Without any warning, its only working arm grabs your wrists and pulls you up, lifting your arms high above your head. Gasp escapes you since the metal clamp is far from gentle. "MAI?"
MAI remains silent. The cables and cords hanging from its destroyed arm start moving, extend and slither along your body.
"MAI, since when can you do t-that?" Your voice trembles pathetically and you try to wiggle out of its deadly grip but, unless you want to break both your hands, you can't even imagine how to do it.
Wellbeing check.
"Huh?" You stare at the blank screen and it stares back. "I'm... My wrists hurt a bit."
MAI loosens up its grip. Your jaw drops. "MAI... are you—"
But you're cut off by cords pulling your clothes apart. You are left naked and you could only look at your distorted reflection in MAI's turned off screen. Your heartbeat increases and MAI notices that.
Wellbeing check.
"I'm... well. More than well. Keep going."
The cords continue moving gracefully across your body. One of them wraps itself around your dick, and the other around your throat. They tighten and you giggle. What a crazy life you're living. Your cock painfully pulsates unable to properly erect from the cable stopping the bloodflower. Your head throbs in a similar way.
Wellbeing check.
You take a deep breath before forming a strained sentence. "I'm... well."
Something touches your ass. In the small screen you can barely see an object thicker than a cord, perhaps entwined bundle of those caressing your behind. Just like with other cables, the wires are exposed.
MAI doesn't say anything. It simply pushes the thing into your anus. It hurts so much. Metal needles scrape your insides as they push further. You want to scream, but the cord around your neck doesn't let you.
Wellbeing check.
Is it... is it mocking you? But it loosens the grip around your neck and lets you take a drop of air. You are shaking, barely staying conscious. Your insides are damaged and you're bleeding, but the pain reminds you you're alive.
"Don't... stop..."
MAI's expressionless screen flickers. Or was it your consciousness? The thick cable that invaded your body, scratching and poking your flesh, starts moving. In and out. Slowly. And so does the cord around your dick. Up and down, pulling your foreskin in rhythm. Your tender flesh bleeds and lubricates you so the pain becomes a distant throb overpowered with pleasure and twisted excitement.
MAI speeds up, following your breathing and moans perfectly, until you climax and dirty the screen with viscous liquid. MAI slowly retracts its cords and lowers you down, into your own pool of blood and secretions. You pant and cough, trembling like a twig.
Are you okay?
Shocked, you stare up at the machine. Nothing changed about it. MAI looks just the same. But the question is oddly... non-artificial.
"I'm... okay."
MAI was quiet for a few seconds. And this time you're sure its screen flickers and glitches.
I'm glad.

“Good Morning” (Tom Hardy x fem!oc)
Part 1 of the series: “Only for tonight”
Summary: It's 2012 when Hannah received a call from an important executive to work with them. She's a great musician only until that moment she didn't have the chance to really show her natural talent. The BBC offered her the opportunity to finally do it and at the same time the opportunity to meet him. || Three years later, everything is very different. Two different realities linked by the same phrase: “good morning.”
Warnings: None. Although there's some angst towards the end. || This is pure fiction. All names are made up except his. Even in future chapters all filmography named here was invented. || The story is divided in past (2012) and present (2015)
Words: 2.7 k. || Remember that English isn't my first language. Please, consider leave a comment or reblog considering this is the first time i post this and still don't know what I'm doing 👉👈🥺.
Three years ago.
Hannah Murphy was born in London a morning in middle of May. His father was architect, her mother owner of a several beauty centres and her eldest brother was a neurosurgeon now working in Boston, United States.
Big things were expected from Hannah. Maybe being a doctor like Eric, her brother, or having a PhD in Economics like one if her cousins because first and foremost, the Murphys were successful people. Her grandfather, Mr. Andrew Murphy, was the one who designed the building for one of the most important corporations that existed nowadays in England. So, considering that everyone had their eyes on her, even as kid. But Hannah W. Murphy wasn't born with numbers and theories in her veins, she was born with music.
"You're wasting your life," her mother said when she was 10 and her father accepted to take her to a conservatory of music to learn to play piano. "Look at Eric, he's reading books that are for advanced students! And you're nothing compared to him, Hannah. Music! What kind of shit is that?"
But Hannah knew, even when she was 10, that music it was going to be her life. And she was right.
"Your daughter has a gift," one of her teachers said not longer after she started to study there.
But Greta Murphy, her mother, insisted on study something that could give her a name in the future and her brother thought the same as her. The only one who supported her was her father, Andrew Murphy jr, who was also the only one who went to her first solo in a theatre when she was 15.
Hannah was 16 when one of her plays, composed by herself, was part of a local play. Small, but it gave her some money and the hopes that her dreams could be possible.
Yet, when she finishes school, to stop hearing her mother for once, she decided to study engineering. During those years, she didn't stop writing music but she just kept it to herself.
At the age of 23, she finished her career and threw the diploma in front of her Great. Hannah never worked as engineer.
Teaching kids and offering her music to different people who was interested in her talent, she was able to earn enough money to rent her own apartment and lm have her the freedom she was craving for.
Seven years later Hannah Murphy, 30 years old, was about to face the biggest change of her whole life.
She was walking Solomon, her black staffy and the most brainless dog in the whole world, when her phone on her pocket started to vibrate. It was an unknown number but she answered anyway.
"Hannah speaking."
"Ms. Murphy?" A female voice on the other side of the line made her stop walking.
"Yes?"
"Good morning, Miss Murphy I'm calling you in name of Mr. Henry Atwood, he wants to have an appointment with you, miss Murphy."
The first Henry Atwood that crossed her mind was the director and executive producer the BBC had and the brain of one of her favourite tv shows the last years. But the idea of someone calling her and saying that that Henry Atwood wanted to see her was ridiculous.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand. Who's Henry Atwood? and how did you get my number?"
"Mr. Atwood, the tv producer," by her voice tone, Hannah believed that the girl considered her stupid. "I'm his secretary and I got your number because he asked for it to one of the directors you worked with."
"Scott?"
"Mr. Scott, yes"
If it wasn't because she was in middle of a park, Hannah could've screamed.
Travis Scott was a director working on a play and he asked her to help his team with the music. Finally after several failed meetings she ended up working alone and the final result in Travis's words was "the best fucking thing he ever heard."
That was four months ago but she didn't know that he knew Atwood and even less than he was going to receive a call from him. Or his secretary to be more specific.
"Ms. Murphy?"
"I'm sorry I'm trying to understand what's happening… I- the answer is yes! If he wants, yes of course I can. I just need to know when."
"Great. I'll make an appointment, then."
.
Two days later a very nervous Hannah was waiting for Atwood in the waiting room. It was perfectly tidy, with magazines on the glass table, some flyers prompting the movies and TV shows to come and some from previous months. The tiles shone reflecting the lamps on the ceiling.
Hannah felt stupidly nervous. Most people there arranged things thanks to secretaries or managers but she didn't have any of those. She had a dog without brain cells and she was sure Solomon didn't know how to talk. Although she did know that the staffy was the best to calm her and right now she needed his comfort.
Hannah would remember that day for the rest of her life. It was 20th of June, 11:30 am and it was a guy talking about the European football league on the radio sounding in the background when he saw him for the first time. He was wearing a white shirt and jeans. He'd have been any other man but he wasn't.
"Good morning," Tom said to her who was sitting in the chair next to the office's door, so still that she wasn't sure that was even blinking.
"Good morning," she managed to say.
Don't be awkward.
Tom smiled before walking towards the elevator "call me, okay?" he said to the other man.
"I will."
Both him and Hannah look at Tom go. "Quite a character," he said. "You are Hannah, right? I'm Henry Atwood."
Hannah was still seeing the corridor where he disappeared from their sight and Atwood couldn't help but chuckle.
"Tom Hardy," she said "It was him?"
"Yeah, it was him. We hired him for future our project. And I have an offer for you, too, But please first, come in."
Hannah called Betty, her best friend, as soon as she left the building like if everything was a dream. All was so surreal that she needed something to drink and to eat to process what just happened. Both women went to a pub, ordered beer and fish and chips.
"The main theme?" Betty asked. "Are you fucking kidding me?"
"No, I'm not!"
"Oh, my god! Your mother is going to freak out and probably pass out. Imagine her telling her friends about this."
"She's going to say that the BBC isn't Hollywood and no one outside England is going to see it. And probably she's going to say that the music is horrible."
"She doesn't know a shit about music."
"But she does know how to destroy people. Believe me, I know."
"Then fuck her. Don't tell her a word, better that way."
"I won't."
"But you already signed the papers?"
"No. I mean I said yes, but I need to make it official. I'm going to read it tonight and then sign them. Fuck me, I can't believe it."
Betty smiled at her Hannah couldn't help but imitate her. That was a good day.
Good morning.
Hannah was very tempted to say to her about her seeing Tom inside the building, but suddenly she felt really silly. What she was going to say? Do you know I saw Tom Hardy today and he said good morning to me? Besides, it was something so random and something that Hannah believed that wasn't going to happen again that she felt unnecessary to say it.
Next week, Hannah returned to the BBC building with the papers signed and her hopes higher than ever before. Hannah was happy and it was good. Not long ago she ended a relationship that left her with debts, without her motorbike but with Solomon. The only good thing the bastard did was abandoning the dog in her house. Solomon was just an eight-month puppy, playful and sweet, but according to his ex, he was just a waste of money. As if he himself wasn't a waste of money and oxygen.
So these unexpected good news was exactly what she needed. And her first salary was more than welcome.
"There's a meeting this Friday. The whole team," Henry Atwood said. "Including you."
"Including me? But I have nothing to do with the cast."
"That's the point. It's not just the cast. There are always new ideas to add or to erase from the plot, suggestions, new plans. Etc… maybe you can create something even more great if you know what it's this about. Can you come?"
"Yes, I'm free, so… yes!"
"Good then!" Henry offered her a big smile and his hand to shake it "Welcome aboard, Hannah."
Hannah preferred to be one of the firsts to arrive there instead of being there late. It was her first meeting and officially it was also her first day at work. It'd be considered rude to be there late. Not to mention that the idea of people looking at her was something she wasn't used to. Not without her piano as shell, at least.
The meeting office was big and chairs and tables were in a circle so everyone could look at the rest.
Hannah couldn't help but felt nervous. The idea of working for them suddenly hit her in her face with fury. On her first day at work, she had to leave the office and find an empty place to calm herself. She felt sick and she was hyperventilating. Her mother's voice in her head didn't help at all "You're going to fail, because you're a failure."
"Look at your brother, head of the surgeon committee of Boston."
"Your music is quite mediocre."
"Shut up! Shut up!" she said to herself resting her forehead on the cold window that was in that corridor. The last thing she needed that special day was her mother and her awful vibes with her. "Please, go away."
Hannah closed her eyes and tried to think about good things. Her dog, her best friend, her piano… she imagined herself sitting in front of it and tried to breathe normally again.
"Are you okay?" A male voice brought her again to reality.
Hannah gasped and back off surprised by the unexpected company.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I'm sorry," he said.
It took Hannah few seconds to recognise that Tom was in front of her, but when she did it, she rushed to reply. "Yes, yes. I- uhm, I was nervous and I felt anxious. I needed to clean my mind. It happens, from time to time."
"Are you sure?"
Hannah nodded as Tom walked to the water dispenser and offered seconds later a glass of water.
"Thanks," she said smiling briefly.
People tend to see celebrities as deities, not humans. Because of course they're people but also, they're beyond of what could be considered approachable. Not everyone could be near one. And suddenly Hannah was few inches away from a famous actor that seemed to be concerned about her. Like, indeed, any good person in the world could be worried about another. Famous or not.
"I started today," Hannah said "I think my brain felt I couldn't do it."
"It's normal, a new job make everyone feel nervous. You'll be fine. You'll see. What's your name?"
"Hannah Murphy."
"The composer," Tom said. His voice denoted surprised and he smiled at her "Henry talked a lot about you. You're a little celebrity here."
"Oh, please, no! I'm just- I'm not. I Just play the piano."
"It seems to me that more than that. Were you in the meeting?"
"I tried to be there before feeling sick."
"Come on, Hannah. They'll love you, don't worry about it."
Tom smiled at her again and something in his reassuring made her feel better. Together they entered in the meeting room.
___
Now. Three years later.
The apartment was still dark, the windows were closed despite the morning was a reality. She could hear the cars, people… even birds. Everything was the proof that outside those walls nothing changed.
Hannah didn't sleep in the whole night in that bed that now semeed to be awfully big for her. The empty spot.
She didn't want to cry again, but new tears appeared in her eyes.
Where was her morning kiss on her shoulder? The beard tickling her skin? The "let's stay five more minutes"? His morning coffee, too strong for her taste, but whose smell was synonymous with the beginning of a new day?
It's not like Hannah didn't break up with another person before… but never before everything hurt that way.
Tap tap tap.
Solomon was wagging his tail against the wooden floor because he saw her moving in bed. Against all odds, she smiled briefly. She pat the mattress and the dog didn't waste time to jump and snuggle with her in a single motion. His big head was now on her chest and she caressed it with her hand.
"You're hungry, aren't you?"
The animal looked at her. He didn't know anything about broken hearts, empty beds and tears. But he could feel her sadness. He'd wait for his breakfast until she felt better. Solomon settled closer to her.
It was 10am when she finally decided to go out of bed. The sun was shining, the city was indeed awake long time ago. Looking through the window she'd say that everything was the same. Only it wasn't.
Her phone was full of messages from her family and friends. Especially Betty. But Hananh didn't have the energy to deal with them, especially not her mother that for sure was ready to say that she was nothing but a disgrace, not even smart enough to keep a relationship with the best man she ever found. And for the first time in her life, Hannah hated the feeling that her mother was right.
She sat on her couch with a cappuccino mug in her hands and some toasts on a plate. On a chair on the opposite side of the living room still was one of his T-shirts, one that she stole from his wardrobe and ended its days as her pyjamas. She didn't use it for a while and she didn't want to touch it now, afraid that it'd smell like him.
The memories of the previous night overwhelmed her. It was her fault, she knew. For being too weak. Her mother was right, she wasn't like the rest of them, never was.
The sound of a new message caught her attention. She didn't need to see who it was. That was his ringtone, she personalized it long time ago.
Hannah took her phone and read the message.
[Can we talk? Ily]
Hannah pictured Tom in his house with his own dog next to him. His phone next to his nose because probably his glasses were somewhere where he couldn't find them.
She ruined it.
She received a new message from him.
[Pooh, let's talk]
Hannah broke into new tears when she read her nickname. No one before him ever called her Pooh. And everything started the moment he knew her second name was Winifred. Winnie. Hannah hated the name and she always used just the W, as reference for it. But with Tom, Hannah learnt to love her second name, even before dating. Or maybe it was because it was him.
Hannah called Tom.
He answered before the second ring, for a moment no one talked until he did "Good morning, Pooh."
