Jude
it’s tough to be a dreamer when they don’t come true
Feels like your blossoming is overdue
Jude's smile is a hapless 'welp, there you have it'. Maybe it's just easier to be bitter against people who have disappeared, or maybe it's just the chip on his shoulder he's grown since the breakup, but Jude's frown is severe and conflicted the more Flora shares. Feels like your blossoming is overdue
"Maybe he's a collector of firsts then," he mutters vaguely. Koa had seemed more chivalrous than that to Jude, but what does he know? He'd been the last thrown into the proverbial ring. "If he keeps stringing you along on maybe this time then he gets whoever he wants however often he wants. Maybe he just finally made a permanent move on Sohalia." It's easy to agree with her with the sick feeling of inadequacy in his chest. With the two defendants in the wind, it's a closed case of heartbreak.
Jude reaches for her hand but only tries to squeeze around her wrist. Baby steps, but fuck, it's hard to touch people so little these days and he can't resist. "He's hot sure but you're the Doubletake. Fuck him. Er, metaphorically this time." His nose crinkles in aborted humor. Maybe it won't stick, but even if it doesn't at least she can carry both the ego stroke and the reassurance that somebody else her age thinks she deserves better.
Well there ain’t no use in crying, darling
Or so they say
Or so they say
