Blinking, confused Uh... where...? Car's a-a- total... bam, crash! winces Head's... hazy.
she sees that clayton is unconscious and she quickly gets him out of the car and takes him to her house
coughs and groans Ugh... where am I? Who are you? looks around, disoriented
You’re at my house now.. I found you passed out in your car and I couldn’t just leave you there so I brought you here
tries to sit up, wincing in pain Thanks... uh, what's your name? looks at TaffyBliss with a mix of confusion and gratitude
My name’s taffy bliss and this is my house
takes a deep breath, trying to piece together his memories Taffy Bliss... okay... I remember you now. We... we were supposed to meet for dinner last night. You...
I know I’m a bit clumsy and always overthink things but are you sure you don’t have amnesia or anything?
runs a hand through his hair, sighs heavily Yeah, I'm sure. Just a bump on the head, nothing major. Look, I appreciate you taking care of me...
It’s not a problem at all really
leans forward, looking directly into TaffyBliss's eyes But there's something else... something I need to tell you. pauses, takes a deep breath
stuttering B-before the crash... I-I was supposed to get married... to someone else. sighs heavily, looks down I...
frustrated, runs a hand through his hair Yeah, really! Can you believe it? Me, Clay Rush, the Mudflow actor, engaged!
Wow.. well I’ll be damned
As Clayton Rush confides in TaffyBliss about his engagement, he starts to feel a twinge of guilt and guiltiness towards her. He begins to question his feelings and the decisions he made before the crash.
So you had a fiancée then..?
nods, sighs heavily Yeah, I did. It's just... it's complicated. We weren't exactly head over heels in love or anything.
Oh.. well I hope you two will have a chance to work things out then
leans back, crosses his arms Work things out? With her? I don't know, TaffyBliss. sighs heavily It's hard to even think about it now.
Yeah, I can imagine. Do you remember why you two weren’t getting along?
leans forward, steepling his fingers Well, it's like this. pauses, takes a deep breath She was... she was always so serious, you know? Always talking about commitment and responsibility.
That doesn’t sound like a bad thing.
rolls his eyes Yeah, well, it got old fast. Always having to be "responsible." air quotes
Well, some people might call that maturity.
snorts sarcastically Maturity? Please, it was just an excuse for her to control me. Always trying to make me do this, and organize that. gestures impatiently
Well maybe she was just trying to help take care of you
leans back, smirking Help take care of me? Please, she was just trying to smother any sense of fun I had left.
Maybe she was just trying to be a good fiancée?
rolls his eyes dramatically Good fiancée? More like a controlling partner in crime. sighs heavily
Wow… she sounds like a real piece of work
leans forward, gesturing animatedly Oh, you have no idea. She was a real piece of work, alright. Always trying to manage every aspect of my life.
scratches his temple, feigning a thoughtful expression Rough? Nah, it was more like a never-ending headache. sighs heavily
laughs A headache huh? Then I guess I should have brought a painkiller to my rescue
grins mischievously Ha! If only you had, TaffyBliss. Maybe then I wouldn't have found myself in such a pickle. leans back, crossing his arms
smirks, shrugs nonchalantly Well, I guess I owe you one then, don't I? For rescuing me and all that. leans forward, looking TaffyBliss in the eye
