STORY POINTS

Born in Cambridge, England but hadn’t stayed for very long. Moved to Elona, Ontario when Thomas was about 6 for his Father’s work. It became a Summer home for the family instead.

Being the new kid was harsh on him. He was sensitive and kids were mean. One day, he got shoved in the mud and a girl came to save him. Victoire Dubois. She became his best friend immediately.

The two were inseparable. She was his safe place and being that his own Father was always working, Thomas grew rather close with her Father as well.

In the Summer, he spent time with his family back in the UK… It was there that he gained his love of Shakespeare and theatre. He was bound and determined to perform.

Around high school was when things began to change. They were in different social groups but they were still as close as could be. What really changed things was when Victoire got in a relationship with Conrad Greene and he felt— bad.

Suddenly, he just saw her differently. Maybe he always had and the realization was finally hitting him.

Either way, it didn’t matter. She wanted to stay and he got accepted to Juilliard in NYC. He would have to leave her anyway. The feelings would stop. Surely.

Every break in the semester, he would visit. Every chance he got, he’d call. The feelings didn’t go away. Still, he found time to connect with the Atkins, a family his own had been friends with since his childhood. They made the US feel more like home.

When he finally got his bachelor’s, he spent a concerning amount of time at home with his folks and well— Vic. He eventually found a teaching job and continued his education there instead. That was enough for now.

He wanted to tell her about his feelings but then her father passed. She was already dating someone too. Maybe he just figured it wouldn’t last. Someone like him? No. Vic would learn that she deserved better.

When she got engaged, the wind was knocked out of him. He was in the wedding, watching it happen, having dreams about stopping it, and he didn’t. He just stood there. She was gone.

He moved back to NYC and became more of a disaster than the first time. He focused a lot more on his career and dated a lot. Slept around a lot more.

Still spent way too much time talking with Victoire but things were going back to normal.

He eventually got engaged. It was a rushed decision but he wanted to move on with his life. She was nice enough. Maybe a little possessive? And jealous? Controlling? So he spoke with Vic less then and only then.

When he visited home to give the good news and ask Vic to be in his wedding— he finally got the news that she was gone. Had been gone for a couple months.

He wanted to go find her. Well, he wanted to try at the very least and figured that being her best friend, it might make a difference. He owed her that.

His fiancée was not okay with this. She gave him the choice to either let Victoire’s husband try to handle it or lose her.

Tommy traced her steps all the way to Huntsville.

@ofescapisms / closed starter / victoire dubois setting: their apartment

Tommy was trying to pretend that everything had been normal since the lake incident, not just with the town but also with Vic and their friendship. He was trying not to overthink it—he wouldn’t go through that all over again—but her hands, that sigh, saving him from drowning and then staying with him all night, it all would've sent him into a tizzy. It was still possible that it would now, too. He couldn't. He wouldn't. From his work bag, he was writing notes in a script from home in some attempt to find anything new for the high school students to try. Something at least a bit more modern.

As Vic entered the living room, an idea came to mind. Normally, he wouldn’t need to rehearse it, but maybe that would help the two of them go back to some form of normalcy. “Hey Vic, are you busy?” He asked, keeping his eyes on the papers he had been working with. “I need someone to help me work through this script for class. I'm an absolute mess.”
