Take it as you will.

I've sat here for over an hour now, staring at the box and trying to convey thought through my fingertips to explain why I left and why I would come back now. There's no easy explanation and I could throw a hundred reasons at you, but they'd all be secondary right now. Let's just leave it at what it is. I came back. I never stay away for very long

I've always said this place is like a black hole. You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you do. Welcome back.

[davemnavarro]

It sucked me back in and even when I was gone, it wasn't that far from my thoughts. I owe you an apology more than I do anyone else. If I'd known or if you'd told me what you were going through, it might have turned out differently. I broke my promise when I said I'd do right by you and I want you to know how sorry I am. If there's anything I can do, I'd still drop everything to be there for you.

If I'd known or if you'd told me what you were going through, it might have turned out differently.

First of all, I'm going to chalk that up to bad wording and not jump down your throat just yet. Second, that's no way to keep somebody, or even get somebody, by guilting them into staying with you. It's not the way I do things. Third, my current situation was much a surprise to me as anyone else, so that being said, I'll regale you with the fabulous story sometime. It's not really interesting so much as fast paced and head turning. Could make a good action movie, I think.

The truth is, I forgave you a long time ago. Still, the apology is appreciated and accepted. I could always use more friends, you know? I'm just relieved the villagers can now stop rioting outside my house, and blaming me for your disappearance. Ha.

If you're going to jump down my throat, take your shoes off first. I don't like the taste of them and they'd just make you get stuck. It wouldn't have been guilt, Sheryl. It was real for me, what we had and if I'd known what you were going through, it wouldn't have ended the way that it did. I want to hear the story whenever you want to tell it. I don't want animousity between us. It was fucked what I did and I accept full responsibility for it. I'd offer to rebuild it from scratch, but that's not my choice or my place to even ask for that kind of forgiveness.

Haha, there were villagers? I was hoping they'd all go over to Carmen's and leave you alone.

You have no idea how enthralled I was when I saw your comment in my inbox.

I'm glad you're back.

[davemnavarro]

We have some making up to do, don't we? Did you run off to Canada and marry a pretty woman yet?

I'm glad you were still here when I came back.

[derossi]

I'm definitely hanging on. WITHOUT a pretty woman by my side, but, you know I have so much time for that. I hope everything is good with you.

[davemnavarro]

It must've been slow when I was gone. I was sure I'd come back and find you married with a few kids by now. Everything's alright.

[sabullock]

Everyone gets sucked back in.

[davemnavarro]

It's pretty unavoidable, but there are worse things.

[tierney_m]

Heya, stranger.

[davemnavarro]

Shuffle up and deal, gorgeous.

[sienna_g]

I don't see it as a weakness or something you should apologise for. What matters is that you're here again.

[davemnavarro]

It's good to see you again. You're as kind-hearted and compassionate as ever.

[sienna_g]

Thank you, I suppose some things never change...either that or you weren't gone long enough for me to become a wretched bitch?

[davemnavarro]

Some things never change and sometimes, in cases like this, it's the positive ones that remain untouched. Look, I was deep for a second. Any new boyfriends for me to threaten to kick around?
