each week at his doorstep, a single rose.
Heath kept every one, long after they dried, shriveled, crumbled into floral dust.
Remnants from a love fallen apart, just like the flower.
He cried at night and Kane held him.

the wedding he ignored, another ordinary day, meant nothing.
Stared out the window at the rain.
grey and gloomy skies, matched his emotions, twin of his heart.

'JCurt? I don't believe it!'
'Well he IS.'
'Pffft.' Justin shrugged. 'Anything really CAN happen in WWE.'
'Yes indeed, you lovely strange Diva of mine.'
'Dahroo?'
'Another run in the waves?'
'Nah, I'm on surf break right now. '
'Astounding.'

Drew grinned.
'DahRoo?'
'Hmm?'
'You suck at dancing, baby.'
