Drabble: Chuck, implied Chuck/Bryce and Bryce/Sarah
7. Does Bryce Larkin handle commitments well? For photoash.
He takes one identity off and puts on another, a smooth glide of faces and names that go on easy, like a silk shirt, like a suit cut perfectly to his body.
One place, one name, one partner for too long, and Bryce’s world takes on too much weight. He needs to be nimble, to be on the move, so he’s good at leaving things behind.
There are things he keeps, of course. Memories he holds close.
But no burdens.
Everyone he loves thinks he is dead, and there’s a freedom to it that he shouldn’t like.
(But he does.)
