Where: Boo's apartment
Rating: TBD

Alice didn't exactly know what she was expecting Bradley to say when she showed up at his apartment. She didn't understand what he was having such an issue telling her about, and she didn't much like the idea that he was having to keep something as important as his employment a secret. What sort of job did you have to keep secrets for, anyway? Or was he just embarrassed about it? She sincerely doubted he had ditched his yoga job to be a male stripper, regardless of how lucrative Magic Mike made the profession seem.

Sighing softly, Alice adjusted her sweater and smoothed out her hair, before she worked up the will power to knock on his front door.

"So what I think doesn't matter, I guess," she muttered, elbows falling to her knees as she let her head fall into frustrated hands. "I just get to sit around and worry about you all the fucking time until my brother shows up at my door covered in blood." She'd had to throw out half of her bathroom after she hadn't been able to get the blood out. Sometimes she felt like she was still breathing in the coppery smell.

Boo wasn't even sure if what he thought mattered either. First, they hadn't really offered him much of an out. He didn't take to kindly to Josie's insinuation that if he didn't come with them right then and there that they'd simply kidnap him later. But was he allowed to really say that to Alice? He wasn't sure, so he probably shouldn't.

"Alice, it won't be like that, alright?" He reached out to take her hands, "They didn't exactly give me a choice in the matter, either." He'd admit that much, though it hadn't all been awful. After that first bump in the road with the threat of kidnapping, it had been nice. He liked working there. He hadn't really wanted to be a yoga teacher forever, but he would never have been able to do anything else with his record.

	"That's exactly what it's going to be like," she murmured, fingers curling into the warmth of his much larger hands. As irritated as she was to realize it, that gentle touch had been enough to knock some of the wind out of her sails, and she let herself lean forward until her forehead came to rest against his chest. "This is really happening, isn't it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He wasn't going to argue with her, because frankly, it wouldn't help. And he could very well make a promise he couldn't keep. He gave her hands a light squeeze. "It really is." He agreed. (Reply to this) (Parent)
