[At RAGE 131, Amber began to leave the arena, only to be roadblocked by Dangerously; and to her, at that moment, Dangerously must have been more of a dead end for her than anything else. History, it seems, isn't always healed by time, and, when the RAGE camera went off the air to cover a more pressing issue, ie, the Main Event, the reality of the situation between Amber Michaels and Nic E Dangerously was still revolving.]
[Amber Michaels]- "Oh my god, Nic-"
[Dangerously is looking at her, walking past her but their eyes are still locked as their heads slide to compensate. Dangerously non chalantly sits in the first chair he sees, now breaking his gaze from Amber, and, not even caring that the door slams after she says-]
[Amber Michaels]- "I'm not even going to stay for this bullshit."
[Nic E Dangerously]- "I know you're still there."
[Amber Michaels]- "... I know."
[She drops her bag and, slowly walks around the chair NED occupies to a short coffee table, and sits upon that. Facing him, they look at each other with softened features.]
[Amber Michaels]- "... Nic..."
[He frowns.]
[Amber Michaels]- "... what do we do now?"
[Nic E Dangerously]- "... the only thing we can do at the moment- take it one day at a time. I've heard stories, Amber, stories without happy endings and, I think you and I, well. We're not what we were-"
[Amber Michaels]- "I know-"
[Nic E Dangerously]- "-and we probably never will be again-"
[Amber Michaels]- "-I know, and I know it's not what either of us would want anyways-"
[Nic E Dangerously]- "... who am I kidding?"
[Amber was looking down and away, but then turns up to see his face, as it's closer, and he grabs her face on either side, cupping her ears and craning her neck towards him as he kisses her. He pulls away.]
[Nic E Dangerously]- "... I just had to see, how I felt."
[He stands up, and turns towards the door. To be continued.]
