Day 1 - Shop Talk
Disclaimer: I'm only gonna say this once... Not mine. Not ever.
A/N: This was the one that kicked it off... How I decided that, yes, I can do another series and not go insane in the membrane. This one picks up the mysterious day that dear Toby returned.

I, uh, I just broke up with Darryl and started dating him again. I... don't really know where that's going. That sucks about the zipline, by the way."

"I didn't really like Holly. I'm glad you're back."
"That makes one of us." But just for that instant, in the length of a shared smile, he was lying.
