Dress Rehearsal

Five minutes with her and you're back to rehearsing what to say, like two years ago.

"I'm married." Simple enough, right? So tell her already. You're over her, and she was over you long ago.

Then you look at her, all pinstripes and cowhat, and there's something... off. Broken. Like the Buffyness of her ran out, and the precious little that's left rattles around in a fragile shell and...

...don't start waxing poetic. Over. Married. Tell her.

Here we go.

Telling her any minute now.

"No offense, but this is black ops, and you look like a pylon."

Smooth, Finn.
