He is here, which is more than you can say of El. You've been drinking alone for a long time, and even though you've mostly accepted that it's your own damn fault things wound up how they are... well. El made her choices, too.

Speaking of El. Taking another long (too long) pull, you settle the bottle back in the sand. You've moved now so you're leaning on the empty portion of the bench, staring at the low fire, your elbows on the stone. "How I met El," you repeat somewhat distantly, a bittersweet smile pulling at your mouth. The fire and the alcohol are working together to leave you comfortably warm. "Not much'uva story there. We grew up together - dock rats, both'a us. Always tryin' t'figure out how everythin' worked, gettin' underfoot, causin' trouble." You'd been a proper pair of terrors - her coming up with ideas, you taking action on them.
"Took a while for us t'actually get together, an' I had my share'a flings 'fore then, but one day I guess... I dunno. I looked up an' it was like, oh right. I wanna spent all'a my life with this woman. An' that was that."
