“yeah?  i’m  actually  relieved  it  is.”  she  was  smirking,  the  curve  playing  in  the  corners  of  her  lips.  "you  were  there  last  week?  what  you  still  go  there  or  like,  passing  by  kinda  thing?“  and  if  he  went  there  with  someone  else,  it  was  safe  to  say  she’d  be  a  bit..  heartbroken.  somehow  aelin  still  viewed  that  as  their  thing,  and  she  knew.  it  was  silly  to  think  it  but  once  upon  a  time  that’d  been  their  pocket  of  peace  in  this  town.  "yeah  you  know  what,  all  dressed  up  and  already  left  the  point  so  we  may  as  well  get  a  sundae  right?  i  think  there  were  nights.  dreamed  about  those  like,  sweet  cherries  they  put  on  top.”  for  the  most  part  aelin’s  parents  would  just  be  happy  she’d  left  the  house  for  more  than  grocery  shopping.  she  was  back  in  town  for  an  injury  suffered  to  her  shoulder  and…  she  hadn’t  exactly  been  handling  being  out  of  action  very  well.  the  bandage  was  just  peeping  out  from  behind  her  top,  wrapped  around  her  shoulder  and  it  clearly  still  bothered  her  because  she’d  refused  to  move  that  arm  at  all.“oh  you  don’t  have  to  get  this,  if  anything  let  me,  you  know  what  my  appetite  is  like.”  she  laughs  and,  like  her  typical  self,  a  creature  of  habit,  goes  for  a  sundae.  "i  guess  that  depends  on  uh..  on  how  you  mean  the  question.“  the  sundae’s  arrive  and  the  first  thing  she  does,  is  pluck  the  cherry  off  the  top.  it  felt  homely  in  here  and  maybe,  for  the  first  time  since  being  back  in  town..  she  felt  comfortable.  at  ease.  "if  you  ask  my  mom  she’d  say  that..  i’m  moping,  miserable,  bored..  ask  my  dad  he’d  say  i’m  just  taking  a  while  to  come  around  to  healing.”  she  sighed  softly,  another  spoonful  of  ice  cream.  "i  know  i  sound  really  pathetic  but  it’s  not  just  like..  oh  she  slipped  on  some  ice  and  popped  her  shoulder,  it’s  not  that  it’s..  i—  i’m  the  tough  guy  you  know  what  i  mean?  it  feels  like  people  are  waiting  on  me  to  go  back  to  work,  to  just  pick  up  being  detective  levaine  again.  people  get  shot  all  the  time  but  someone  was  in  my  home..  someone  broke  into  my  home,  my  apartment,  and  shot  me  and  if  i’d  have  been  a  second  slower?“  she  sighed  and  shook  her  head.  "i’m  sorry,  colt…  you  didn’t  ask  for  me  to  go  on  about  all  of  that.  i  mean  you  didn’t  ask  for  it  to  be  me  on  this  date  either  like.”  she  huffed  a  bit  of  laughter.  "how  have  you  been,  what  is  it  you  do  now?“   

“just passing by, i haven’t been inside in a little while.” colt said with a slight shrug of his shoulders. he didn’t know if he could bring himself to actually go back in alone or even with someone else. it held far too many memories within those walls that he knew he’d be hit with the minute he stepped foot back inside. it felt too familiar walking in there with her but instead of panic he felt like he was at ease. the two of them slid into the leather seats of the booth and just like always, he too ordered a sundae for himself. “really, don’t worry about it.” he said with a smile as he started to dig into his ice cream, and even doubled down and ordered some fries for the two of them to pick at. if they were going to be out tonight, he knew he might as well make the most of it. he had heard in passing of what happened to her, word spread around like wildfire and colt felt horrible for at least not reaching out. there wasn’t much he could do or at least he didn’t think there would be much for him to help out with. “you don’t sound pathetic at all, c’mon.” he said with a shake of his head. as he locked eyes with her for a moment. he could still see the pain that she was in and hopefully tonight, even though it was a bit strange still the two of them could make the most of this little blind date. “and you don’t have to be this tough guy, you go back to work when you’re ready. if that means a day, a week, a month, whatever, you don’t have to rush for anyone.” a little chuckle slipped his lips as he pushed a hand through his hair and continued to poke at his ice cream. “i know it was a bit of a shock for the both of us but i’m pretty glad that you showed up tonight and it wasn’t someone else.” colt didn’t know how exactly he was supposed to just continue with a date, forcing himself to speak to someone brand new and trying his best to act like everything was natural. “everything’s been alright. i got my own place, no more roommates and try your best not to laugh, but i’ve been moved to the children’s wing in the hospital.” he said with a chuckle and a shake of his head. “i’m still getting the hang of it all but it hasn’t been too bad. some of the kids think i’m pretty cool, my other patients probably didn’t so that’s nice.”
