the shit between Desmond and Charlie is so fanfiction coded. like what do you mean I’ve been sticking close to you because I keep having visions of you dying so I keep needing to recuse you from those Scenerios as they arise but no matter what I do I’m just prolonging the inevitable because you, Charlie, will die. and I am so sorry. but I am going to try and try and try anyway. like ok. that’s a romance plot line.

Sometimes, I wonder, when you sleep
Are you ever dreaming of me?

any you gay bitches need a man?

The Break Up: Café

The café smelled like burnt espresso and citrus cleaner, a place that pretended to be warm but never quite was. Bri wrapped both of her hands around her hot cup even though she hasn’t taken a sip. The heat feels earned, something solid she can rely on.

Across from her, her boyfriend, Desmond didn’t touch his drink at all.

He didn’t look nervous and that was the first thing she noticed. No restless tapping, no awkward half-smiles, no rehearsed softening of the eyes. He looked resolved, which somehow hurt her more.

“I don’t think this is working anymore,” he said finally, like he was commenting on the weather. His voice stayed level, practiced. “You’re just… a lot. Too needy.”

The word lands wrong. It clangs instead of settles.

Bri opened her mouth, already forming a rebuttal she’s been saving for months. She had always imagined this moment differently—her words sharp but controlled, her spine straight, her dignity intact. She thought she’d be the one to say enough.

Instead, she sat there in the chair, blinking, trying to figure out when needing reassurance turned into a character flaw.

“I just—” she started, then stopped. What was she supposed to explain? That she asked for consistency? That she wanted kindness without having to beg for it? That she stayed every time he withdrew, every time he cheated, convinced herself patience was love?

Desmond stood up after saying his piece, chair legs scraping against tile. “I’m not trying to be cruel,” he adds, already reaching for his jacket. “I just know this is better for the both of us, Bri. I’ll see you around.”

He left cash on the table, more than enough to cover their drinks. Bri scoffed, looking to the side and watching him walk to his car with his hands in his jacket pockets. Of course he did. Even now, he wanted to look generous.

Bri stayed seated long after the sound of the bell chime faded, staring at the untouched foam drifting apart on her latte. Around her, life kept moving—cups clinked, laughter rose, someone called out an order. No one looked at her twice.

She swallowed hard and realized something terrifying:

She never thought she’d be the one left behind.

Desmond Scott Says He’s ‘Back in the Kitchen’ Post-Split From Wife Kristy

Desmond Scott says he’s “back in the kitchen” in the wake of his divorce drama from Kristy Sarah Scott.
In a new video shared to his Instagram on Sunday (Jan. 18), the professional chef and influencer is seen furnishing a kitchen.
The clips cut to Desmond, 32, positioning a wooden cutting board, arranging utensils, placing pots and pans in a cabinet, shopping for groceries, and later overlooking…

Desmond Scott Says He’s ‘Back in the Kitchen’ Post-Split From Wife Kristy

I have this scene in my mind where Desmond like just got out of the Animus (like still laying there just the Animus turned off) and because he’s been laying there for so long, waking up from it is like an instant headache plus body ache and he just feels like such crap that instead of standing up and going to lay down on his bed roll, he just- rolls off the Animus and curls up on the floor next to it while Shaun and Rebecca are behind him like “should… Should we do something?” And the other is like “nah.”

That’s it, that’s the scene
