Fast Eddie's, Thursday evening

[myfifthrodeo]

There was an idea in recovery that routine was important for sobriety, so Rosa was back at the bowling alley for the second Thursday in a row. Not actually bowling yet, but perched on a stool by the snack counter, her sketchbook on her knees, as she doodled various features of the whole bowling aesthetic.

The NPC bowlers themselves made great models for gestural drawing.

"You would know better than I would," Stark said agreeably. "I haven't had any experience with that sort of thing."

Or with anything even remotely similar.

"Does it help, your program?"

“I’m almost two years sober,” Rosa said proudly. “So yeah. It’s been really good for me.”

"That's good!" Stark flashed her a smile. "Is congratulations the right word for that?"

[myfifthrodeo]

"Congratulations totally works," Rosa said. "It's the longest I've managed to stay sober. You know, not counting the time I was dead for."

[stykera]

"That's very good then," Stark said. That probably explained why he hadn't ever seen her at Summer's bar nights. "Two years can be a very long time."

Especially if you lived somewhere like here and could hear the universe.
