Somehow, what had happened with Cordelia and Orlando had snapped something back into place for Michael. Maybe it was the fact that everything had been so sudden, and he'd seen once more how things can change in a matter of seconds. One would think he would know this by now, but it was one of the many lessons he had yet to really learn ( Read more... )

After having dinner at Logan's house again, Michael had excused himself for the night and had gone back to his hotel room after making a quick stop at a liquor store. He paced for a while, unsure of doing what he had been thinking of doing most of the afternoon, but there was always something pulling him back. Maybe it was a bad idea. Maybe he ( Read more... )

So...I said I'd post some pictures. The first two is because Logan's changed from how he was when he lived with me; his curls are gone. Which... I don't know, I liked how the kiddo looked with curls, but oh well.

Admitting that he didn't like being alone in Long Island had been hard for Michael, but he had finally said it when he got to speak with Heather after he and DJ got into a fight over the phone. Michael loved his brother, but having to keep a secret from him was obviously a bad idea: the guy wouldn't give up asking questions that he didn't need the ( Read more... )

The phone rang three times before there was the small click on the other line. Instead of someone answering, though, the answering machine came in. "Hey, it's Eddie. You know the drill, I'll call you back."For a moment, all the words that he had been forming left him, and Michael just sat there, staring at a spot on the table. Sighing wearily, he ( Read more... )

[for beau_amour]A visit from DJ and Heather was something that Michael had not expected, but he was glad nonetheless to receive the phone call the night before saying they'd be coming in by noon the next day. He, of course, went to pick them up with Logan before driving back to the apartment. Since DJ wanted to rest a bit after the flight, he decided to ( Read more... )
