Appalled at Shaant’s behavior, Jackie uses Shaant’s mistake as an outlet to vent his frustration of his own failed relationship; Jackie approaches Shaant for an explanation and the situation gets heated when Shaant throws back Jackie’s cheating on Luke in his face leading to Jack kicking Shaant’s ass...and then awkwardly takes a broken and bloody Shaant to the hospital.

Luke is visiting his family in Virginia for Christmas, where he admits his divorce. His family attribute it to “the Lord’s plan” and take the news rather well and bring up his ex-girlfriend Kayson and what a “nice girl” she was. Luke laughs at the subject and tries to dodge it by mentioning his work with the new york paper and potentially moving - they encourage him to do so, reclaim the Charleston home from him and assist in the moving.
Luke moves in with Jake’s small 2 bedroom apartment as a temporary solution and reconnects with his ex girlfriend, Kayson, who’s also in the area.
OUO so my story is getting a bit rewritten  as I work with jackieHOLIC to reinvent and rebuild some of our story o3o

We will be summarizing the history between the separation and the reunion.
They will be divided by year into 2012, 2013, 2014, and an intro into 2015.

Feel free  to ask questions and such ;3; This is a lot of stuff summarized and we obviously know it in our heads and may not be the best at getting it all down simply.
We plan to go back and scriptify pieces on potential "Flashback Fridays" so if there's any thing you'd like to see fleshed out into a script, just let us know >3<


Also, we're (I'm?) debating making a mini site to host all this, and any future writings on, so that it can be better organized and we can more easily include side information like profiles, location maps/descriptions/etc.   - Do you guys care or is it just like "I'm only going to look at it if it's on dA"
