Best Thing That’s Ever Happened To Me
He ticked things off with his fingers. “Sick karate kick, sick soccer moves, leading goal scorer of our fifth grade neighborhood team, and, best skate-boarder and ski-boarder. What else? Oh, yeah: always had the best-looking girlfriends, always. .. No, I won’t shut up about the girls, Jo.”
He easily avoided Jo’s lunge at him in her effort to keep him quiet. “That’s how we became good friends growing up, by the way, because we just matched on a level that no one else around could. When they saw us cruising the neighborhood, there was no question, in my humble opinion, that we were the cut above, the primo-class, the crazy, sexy, cool … nobody could give us any shit the way we swaggered about the place. And there was no way anyone else but I could hang with Jo. I was the only one who matched that swagger, you see…”
Becca laughed lightly at Adam’s humble-brag, and Jo’s vain attempts to shush the taller, bigger Adam. “Oh, Adam! Primo-class of the local playground you mean? And, ok, I can understand that about Jo … but you?”
She can understand that about … me? So she thinks I’m a bad-ass stud, huh? Plus she didn’t seem to bat an eyelash at the mention of girlfriends… things are lookin’ good for Jo!
A buzz on her phone interrupted Jo’s thoughts, and silly grins for Becca. It was a text from the airline that she should get through security before heading to the departure gate now.
She pocketed the phone and re-slung her laptop bag around her neck as she yanked on the handle of the roller bag by her side. “I’m sorry guys, but I gotta go through security now. This was fun; we should plan on meeting up, again. London? Cool Britannia? Can I convince you both to cross the Atlantic and come visit? Helluva town …”
“Of course! Let’s do it! Well, our flights are coming up, too, actually.” Adam let go of Becca’s hand as he encircled Jo in a bear hug.
“You putting some meat back on those bones, Jo?”
“Shut up, Bear,” Jo answered as she hugged Adam also, calling him by the nickname she’d given him as kids. “Making progress, but I’ll never pack as much as you have. You’re shredded, man!”

Skydancer,
You have strangled me with grief! My God! What a traumatic delivery you’ve written.
Triggering stuff. Keep going.
All the best luck,
Blackbird
Thanks,
Had to get it out of my head.
U, on the other hand, are awesome. I see you flex there, with Gentleman Jack. I mean, what can’t you do?
You do the best stuff here, Blackbird.
Hey Skydancer, Nice to be in touch again. What of yours should I read tonight or whenever you get this request? Presently, just so you’ll know how to guide me to the stories you think I’d enjoy, I’m in the headspace of being on the edge of a story about to birth. It’s a tale about Anne Lister’s watch and how she behaves with, or toward it. The watch has power. It came from someplace special and came especially to her. For all those reasons and more I’d like to know Anne Lister’s watch’s origin story,
My sincere thanks for your compliment on my Gentleman Jack series. I’ve been off writing many other types of things and have been away from even thinking about fanfiction until, as Anne Lister might say, “Good Lord.”
My “Good Lord” moment was when the characters hooked me during episode three of Gentleman Jack.
Okay, recommendations of what of yours I should read.
Be well, Skydancer. The moon is out tonight.
Blackbird
Skydancer, Wonderful narration. Vivid view into Becca’s pain. Eager for a glimpse into her and Jo’s magical train ride. Great beginning!
Thanks, took a while to get it together.
Yup, you guessed it. The train ride was and will be the piece de resistance of this whole thing, in my mind, that I found that I could not not write down.
Hope all is well!
Skydancer, you’ve written some wonderful stories over the years but, this is stellar. Thanks for sharing. Can hardly wait for more. Thanks for posting,
