fandomtownies | The Boardwalk | Thursday Afternoon

Jim was done with classes for the week and was celebrating that by sitting lazily on a bench on the boardwalk while he ate a lunch he'd picked up from town. The warmer weather was definitely welcome and he knew it'd be even warmer when he went to Brazil next week to spend time with Natalie. That was definitely something to look forward to.

The weekend had left him thinking about a few things, a few things that he'd been trying to repress since Pike's visit so many months ago. The fact that he was now...considering his words was a big step but it made him slightly grouchy. Not too bad though and not anything he could solve by closing his eyes and enjoying the ocean breeze but still.

The good part about being so busy lately was that he hadn't heard that stupid voice any longer.

Once you were a girl with grace and style.
Hey, mind if I borrow your boyfriend for a while?

...okay, spoke to soon. "Oh, come on!" Jim said, glaring around the empty boardwalk. "Stop making me think I'm going crazy!"

No one responded. Of course.
