[color=ed1c24][b]Ace Makovich - Mid Afternoon- Diner [/b][/color] Ace laughed as the synth called itself Abel, “Right…Adam’s favored son…the good son...right. Well if Barney is willing to accept you, who am I to oppose?” He cracked his knuckles, he looked as everyone in the diner stared at him. Adam sat down and cleared his throat, "Hey, uhhh, sorry to bother whatever is going on here, but are you open? I just want some chow, sir." “Yeah, we are open… Betty help the gentleman out. I need some air.” He said as h opened the hatch leading to cellar. “Whatever, leaving me alone…again.” Betty replied with an attitude. “That’s what I hired you for. Find out if the toaster would like anything, I’m sure there’s a can of motor oil for it somewhere.” Ace replied as he made his way down the ladder. Betty turned to Adam as she smacked so gum, “Whatcha having old man?” Ace walked over to his room but it was empty, with Brandy nowhere to be seen. There was a note on the bed, so he sat down and read it. He shook his head in disbelief, he had forgotten of Reggie's picture on his nightstand along with the wedding band. He grabbed the picture and laid down on the bed staring at it, smiling. He ran his fingers over where Reggie stood on the picture and gave it a light kiss, softly murmuring that he missed her. She had been good to him but he abandoned her, left her behind. He always wondered how she was doing, and if she thought of him. Well if she did , he figured, she'd probably want to kill him. Ace placed the picture back on the nightstand, got up off the bed and made his way out the cellar door that led outside. He figured the most likely place Brandy would be at is her house. As he approached he was right as he could smell her cooking wafting from an open door. He let himself inside and he could hear flattering coming from the kitchen, as well as Diamond City Radio. Ace walked towards the kitchen and Brandy stood there preparing food, unaware of his presence. He walked over to her and placed his arms around her waist. She let out a yelp and dropped an egg on the floor as she turned around. As she saw him, her eyes started to glaze over with tears and she backed towards the counter away from him. He move closer and took her hands, "You should've just waited for me Brandy. Reggie is long gone history, hell I haven't seen her in almost 4 years. I'm not with her anymore. I wouldn't lie to you." He kissed her hand, "Ever since I saw you arrive to town those few weeks ago, I haven't been able to keep my eyes off of you. I want to be with you...please believe me..."
