Tony and Michelle walk outside to the lake with a picnic basket and a blanket. Leading her to “his” tree, Tony places the picnic basket on the ground and helps her unfold the blanket. It’s a nice day outside, despite the obvious presence of doom and woe.

She looks a tiny bit uncomfortable. "What about Elaine?"

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"Maybe."

[chelleuncurled]

"To um...remind us."
