Note 1- set in 2007, adjusting Randy's age by three years because I can.
Note 2- I own no person, place or thing that you recognize. I'm merely playing in the sandbox.
She's cleaning, not Spring cleaning, but just the type of cleaning that one does when they're bored. But through this cleaning she finds a few disposable cameras, used up, in a box labeled 'misc junk' in a handwriting that isn't her own. The handwriting looks somewhat familiar and she thinks it might be Adam's from when he helped her move a few months ago.
Lita supposes, it wouldn't hurt to get the photos developed.
She recognizes the first set pictures immediately because it's from the retirement party that Adam had thrown for her. And she's fairly certain that the picture taker's a male because there are a few shots of Lita bowling. That also narrows down the list of suspects a little, but given how much everyone drank that night… a night that took place months ago but seems like only yesterday.
It's not until she gets to some pictures further back in the pile, one in particular displaying the inside of a rental car, her own hazel eyes and mischievous blue eyes.
There's another picture, similar to the rental car, only this one is in a hotel room and their faces are clearly visible. Lita has stolen Randy's sunglasses and he's crossing his eyes at the camera. As she recalls, they got to that point with thanks to ice cream and tequila.
More shots follow, chronicling the short time that she had spent with Rated RKO.
And when she gets to the last one, she finds herself wiping away a tear, because this one speaks volumes. Neither she nor Randy are looking at the camera, but at each other. And neither one of them are smiling fully, either. Her smile barely reaches her eyes and his is barely visible. But his is one that's reserved and one that very few have seen.
