▸ Now for the weather, expect light showers from late morning to mid afternoon. Blackwell is expecting the storm to keep rolling through overnight, so drive safe!

▸ That's the News In today. Now back to your regularly scheduled tunes. This one goes out to the Gages, may you find peace in these difficult times.

THE RISING IS NOT IN EFFECT

[singlestrand]

They offered. [ she winks at him. ] Come on, I wouldn't have an ego that big unless people regularly told me how spectacular I was.

[eternalboy]

I've only gotten compliments on my ass and that never happened with me. Maybe it's different when you're complemented in New York.

[singlestrand]

Wait-- [ the front legs of her chair fall to the floor and she sets her hands on the table. ] You have an ass?

[eternalboy]

Apparently not by your standards.

[ it's a nice lil butt. excuse u. gives her foot a gentle kick under the table. ]

But I'm happy with it.

[singlestrand]

[ she moves her foot away. hey! ]

I'll make sure to get a better look at it on our way out.

[eternalboy]

I promise to walk slowly and stop under a streetlight.

[ all for u. ]

[singlestrand]

Are we going to stick around here so long the streetlights will be on? Wow. What a date you have planned.

[eternalboy]

It gets dark early these days. That's something I remember back from my Elkins days.

[singlestrand]

There's still a handful of hours left until the early darkness. How are you going to keep this going? [ her coffee is gone. she scoots her chair to the side a little to gauge the distance between the table and the trash receptacle. ] Your turn to ask a question if that's the route you want to go.

[eternalboy]

Tell me more about the parties back in New York. You got me interested.

[singlestrand]

Too bad. New York talk is off limits. Sorry.

[ she shoots, she scores! one of the baristas shoot her a dirty look. whoops. ]

[eternalboy]

[ slow clap. ]

That's too bad, I was hoping to hear about it. Is there something else I shouldn't bother bringing up?

[singlestrand]

Nah, that's it. I'm generally pretty open but you have to admit, if someone leaves NYC to come back to West Virginia of all places-- good things could not have gone down.

[ nope. ]

[eternalboy]

[ leans back a little. ]

I'm sorry.

[ drums the table with his fingers. ]

So tell me about the person you would like to see naked then.

[singlestrand]

[ eva mendes? wait. that's really gay. ]

Uh.

[ too much of a pause. why was she playing this game right now, anyway? it was awful of her. and to be totally honest with ben right now, there wasn't really any men out there she did want to see naked. gross. ]

If they're hot, I mean. I'm not going to turn that down.

[ is that a good save? ]

[eternalboy]

[ that pause was never caused by her modesty that's for sure. he wonders what it was about because that right there was not a believable save. ]

Kind of a broad answer.

But nothing wrong with that.

[ it's very close to something he might say but the total opposite of her earlier answer. ]

You know, I'll say the same.

[singlestrand]

Broad, yeah. [ wait, she thought of someone! it's not true, but it's a hot guy. right? ] But I'll stop being broad, just for you. Charlie Hunnam.

[eternalboy]

He's alright.

[ would sell his kidney to date him tbh. ]

[singlestrand]

[ ok. ]

Yeah, he has arms like he could choke me to death. So hot.

[ ., ]

[eternalboy]

You're into that 50 shades shit? Wasn't he supposed to play the main guy for a while?

[singlestrand]

[ oh, this was something she could talk about. not that she was into 50 shades. ]

I would have went to see it if he was cast in it, but I'm uninterested otherwise. Really. I mean, the kinky shit is great but those books are not my thing.

[eternalboy]

So you are into kinky shit in general but not that kinky shit especially?

I did hear they were badly written.

[singlestrand]

Yeah, terrible. I mean, don't get me wrong-- I tried to read it. I did, I'll admit it. But... terrible... writing.

[ she shakes her head. what was that about trying to get kinky information out of her, ben? she's going to pretend she didn't hear that. ]

[eternalboy]

[ just curiouS. ]

Housewives seem to like it alright.

[ he'll buy Trent a copy for christmas. ]

[singlestrand]

[ not talk for a first "date". or is it. ]

They're housewives. Who blames them? It's the hottest thing they've read in their life.
