"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Starting Over. There's a woman with a part of my life there that is just... weird.

The whole shebang.

She talks about the gym and I get it -- missing the smell, the chalk dust all of that.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Maybe they just really like riding the bus?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
