Sunny nodded and sipped from her glass, barely feeling the burn as her mind continued to fuzz but as she looked up towards Thomas she felt a wave of desire hit her. Her hand trailed from his back to his chest, toying with his shirt. "I miss you...a lot." She murmured.

Thomas raised an eyebrow, the hairs at the back of his neck standing up, he knew he shouldn’t let her sweet talk him. But just like in high school, he couldn’t help it. He didn’t know if he could trust his words with the swirling motion in his brain, stuck in the middle of the ocean with just a rowboat, so he closed his eyes, and leaned his forehead against hers.

Sunny inhaled softly at the feeling of him being so close, slowly looking up at him, her fuzzy brain wondering why she had called it quits, conveniently forgetting all the arguing, lack of time together, and stress of growing up too fast that left her feeling like she was in a midlife crisis at this stage in her life. "Thomas..." She murmured softly, leaning in just a bit closer so her lips brushed against his.

Thomas sucked in a breath at the feel of her lips. He couldn’t help it, couldn’t stop himself from closing his eyes and leaning into her, placing a kiss on her lips. He knew she wanted it too, but he was afraid this was just the alcohol talking for the both of them. He wasn’t sure he cared enough to stop.

Sunny sighed, wrapping her arms around Thomas she kissed him back, her body aligning in a way that was perfect, as if they were physically meant to be together. The alcohol swept away whatever worry she had as she enjoyed the feeling of him but after a moment slowly pulled away, taking his hand and tugging him back towards the bedroom.

Thomas wrapped his arms tighter around Sunny in response to her, all worries of this being nothing, but alcohol and high emptions were gone until she pulled away, started pulling him towards the bedroom. He stopped, and pulled her close to him, “Are you sure?” he whispered, reaching out and cupping her face as he waited.

Sunny looked up at him, leaning into his touch with a sweet smile and dreamy eyes, "with you? Always." She murmured happily, reaching over and tugging at his shirt.

Thomas hated the way his heart raced at her words, feeling his stomach drop as she tugged his shirt. She knew just how to tug him in ever since high school, he would always be a sucker for her smile and gorgeous blue eyes. Thomas started removing his jacket, trying to convince himself that even if this was just sex, he wouldn’t hold it against her. He tossed his jacket to the side and let her drag him to the bedroom, ready to just feel her in his arms.

In the morning Sunny groaned, the sunlight peeking through the curtains stabbing into her eyes and making her head pound. "Fuck." She muttered, stretching out in the bed when she felt slight aches in familiar places and the feeling of someone else in the bed, making her freeze. Please don't be a random guy... she prayed, racking her brain for what happened last night but only coming up with images of Thomas. Shit. She slowly rolled over as she cracked open her eyes to see who was with her.

Thomas slept through Sunny moving about, though the sun peaking through the blinds was annoying. He vaguely remembered drinking, and kissing, and he soon realized the dream he had of being with Sunny, wasn’t a dream at all, but something felt off. He wanted to kiss her again, but he was afraid she wouldn’t want him again, making him pretend to be asleep as he started to feel her stir around him

Sunny rubbed her eyes but Thomas didn't go away. She swore in her mind and pulled her pillow to her chest. "I can tell you're pretending to sleep." She said softly, thinking of the times he had tried to pretend to sleep through late night diaper changing and feedings for the girls when they were babies.

Thomas squeezed his eyes shut tight, if this was a dream he wanted to keep it going, afraid waking up would end with him alone at home once again. “I’m asleep.” He mumbled, knowing if he didn’t respond in some way she was likely to smack him or hit him with her pillow as he learned she’d do in the first years of their marriage.

Sunny couldn't stop the small smile from forming on her face, "uh huh," she murmured, reaching out and lightly poking the end of his nose, "it would have been more convincing if you didn't say anything." She couldn't help but tease him. Maybe the humor was what she needed to try to avoid the seriousness of what had happened between them. She tried to reason with herself that this didn't have to be serious even though common sense told her otherwise.

Thomas flinched with his eyes closed when she poked him, “Well, it would have been rude not to say anything.” He opened one eye, letting his brain adjust to the brightness, but felt a slight sting and a pounding in his head from the drinking. “Ugh, I forgot why I stopped drinking like I was in high school.” He groaned.

"Mmmhmm," She murmured and sat up a little, leaning back against the headboard and pulling the blanket up over her chest. "I don't think we even drank that much," she said as she rubbed her head, feeling a twinge of a headache that she knew would develop into more. "Which...kind of just makes us sound more pathetic." She said with a little laugh that turned into a grimace from the way it seemed to aggravate her head.

Thomas closed his eyes and sighed, “No, but I don’t… I don’t drink.” He hadn’t had a decent drink in about five years, his tolerance was definitely low, but he wouldn’t trade drinking all the time with how his family’s legacy was continued on when he finally came around to working. He chuckled and shrugged. “I don’t mind being pathetic.” He sighed, wondering if she was worried about being seen as pathetic.

"Then..." Sunny frowned a little, wondering if she was really that out of it last night to not remember, "why did you drink at all?" She asked, pulling her knees up to her chest under the blanket and resting her chin on them, suddenly finding the dresser on the other wall fascinating. "You aren't pathetic," she sighed, "you never were, you are the best father our girls could ask for."

Thomas moved to sit up, leaning against the headboard next to her, “Felt like it was needed, with what we are dealing with. The girls and all.” He did remember he had a couple of beers with Silas before arriving, but he didn’t think that would have made him drunk. “Sometimes I feel like that, everyone does,” He eyed her from the side, seeing how she was staring into space. “Just gotta find whatever makes you happy.” He hoped she’d figure out it was staying here, with him and Reign and Stormy, but he wouldn’t force her.

Sunny nodded quietly as she continued to study the dresser but after a minute she eyed him from the side. She hesitated before giving him a small nod. "Well you aren't, I don't think I could have made it without you back then." She said, thinking back to those late nights when her body still ached and she couldn't get out of bed and he was always ready to hop in to help. Back then there had been sparks but then over time it was like it had faded and she hated that, not knowing how to ignite them again. "I was happy," she mumbled and looked away, "then I don't know what happened."

Thomas slowly nodded his head, wondering if he had waited too long after noticing. How long had it been going on and he didn’t see it? How long had he made her miserable. “I don’t know… Either.” He wasn’t sure when he noticed she wasn’t happy, Was it months, years? He felt like shit if it was that long, realizing that maybe she deserved a chance to find what she really wanted. “Sunny. It’s okay to go and find it.” He turned to face her, look her in the eyes to let her know he was here if she needed him. If she wanted him.

Sunny looked back at Thomas, unsure what to feel as she looked back into his eyes when suddenly she felt her own start to water and she shook her head. "I don't know how...or where to find it." She said softly but she didn't want to think about leaving, Graymore was home and she had her girls to look after and the Dance Hall. She couldn't go out and chase her dreams, she wasn't young anymore and had too much relying on her.

“You deserve to be happy Sunny, don’t feel obligated to miss out,” Thomas knew she would want him to be happy, although he wasn’t happy away from her. He swallowed that truth down, thinking it was too soon, she hadn’t even tried, he didn’t want to push her. “We’ll always be here, at least, Reign and I will be, but Stormy wouldn’t be far either.” Even if she was, she’d come home, afteer they made things betteer first betwewen them and the girls.

"So do you." Sunny reached up, rubbing the back of her neck, starting to getting a little prickle of annoyance with how he seemed to be pushing her to move on. Maybe she really had destroyed any attempt for him to feel anything for her anymore, that she'd deserve. She nodded though, feeling confused about this conversation. "Stormy," she said softly, "I hope she's going to be okay, and Reign...but Reign at least has Sam and the twins but...Stormy doesn't have that many friends." She hoped her youngest could find more than just one friend, to at least feel like she wasn't alone and had someone to talk to while she felt like she couldn't speak to her family.

“It will never be the same, but I think we can all be a fun family even while we are apart.” Thomas nodded, wanting to be positive, forcing himself to be positive about it. “Let’s ask the girls to talk, it’s the first step.” They all needed to get everything out in the open. Work on their relationship, maybe it’ll be good in the end, he hoped.

Sunny wasn't sure how or if they could be a fun family again, it was so much easier when the kids were younger, being little balls of light as they ran around, being the perfect distractions in those years. "Okay." She said softly, "we can try that."

Thomas reached over and took her hand in his and gave it a squeeze, wanting her to know it’ll be okay. “We’ll figure this out. We’ll fix it.” Because they had to fix it. He wouldn’t tell her anything, she didn’t need more problems on her plate.

Sunny looked down at their hands, feeling her chest tighten a little. "Yeah," she said softly, wanting to be at least a little positive though she wasn't fully feeling it. "We'll fix it, somehow." She really hoped they would, she wanted to make things better for the girls some how.

Thomas sat for a few minutes thinking, though everything was jumbled around in his mind, it was starting to be difficult to think on one subject. “Hungry?” he asked her, reaching down and grabbing his pair of boxers and slipping them over, wondering if maybe he should leave, maybe she wanted him too, maybe this wasn’t anything more than getting sexual frustrations out.

Sunny went back to the silence and when Thomas got up she was sure that he was going to get ready to leave so when he offered breakfast she stared at him for a secoond before nodding. "Yeah, a little." She admitted.

“Got anything good to eat here, or is all down at the dance hall,” Thomas teased with a smirk as he headed out of her bedroom and towards the trailer’s kitchen. He wasn’t sure what he expected to find in the fridge, the last time as some eggs, cheese, and butter. She had been eating most at the Dance Hall when they were first separated, so he’d gone and filled the fridge for her so she wouldn’t have to worry about it. He hadn’t checked in a while, mostly because they had been trying to stay away, and for the very reason of sleeping together like they did last night.
