you knew it was coming, didn’t you? You knew, you asked yourself this multiple times if it’d ever happen, and when it did happen you’d just deny it. I can’t say I’m surprised, really, or resentful of it. After all, I would’ve done the same thing myself.
The question now, I guess, is where we go from here. I know you’re in too deep to quit writing about me, and I ain’t the type to just stay away forever and let folks forget about me; really, there's I got no plans of going anywhere. But you know how it is with everything. Engines got to stop and fuel up every once in a while, you know? And fires need feeding. If you want something to last, you got to let it rest once in a while.
If you don’t feel it coming back within the next three weeks, that’s mighty fine, you know. You did your best, and that’s what counts, right? Besides, there’s a whole load of other folks waiting to get out of here. I know you’ve been thinking loads about Ami, and if it ain’t her well, my brother’s been coming around more often lately. Maybe give the old man some air once in a while. Maybe let Tolys actually let loose—I know he’s the type to keep himself cooped up with work too, great minds think alike I suppose. Heck, maybe you could even throw a bone at the dog and let the Ruski out. I know you’re real nervous about him, but you’ve had him for as long as you had me, right? I mean, look at me, I can't even say I'm too fond of the guy, but come on.
Really, I don’t mind taking a break this time around. Just thinking ‘bout the coming elections gives me enough of a headache to deal with.
… what’s that? The big guy? You’ve got a point there, though—I can’t just leave him hanging. I don’t want to leave him hanging like that, either. It’s been a week, after all. Hopefully when I come on over, he’s not gonna have the door slam at my face.
But, I digress.
Point is, after I go on over to talk to the big guy, I’d like a bit of a break just to pull things back together. Heck, who knows? I’ll probably be up and about in a day or two after before you even notice!
I swear I’m not going anywhere, mun, so there’s no need to worry there. Really, I don’t think you could ever lose me if you tried.
