*Thereโs little ways to hide Baxterโs reaction to the re-introduction of this presence thatโs haunted him since the summer spent together. It may have been five years but those moments lasted with him, something he covers up with this new look of dark locks his hands run through. A flick of his brown gaze before away, the cheshire grin so familiar with him. A breath in as he tries to keep his composure again coolly, knocking his hand against the table carefully.*
โSmall world, is it not?โ *He questions rhetorically. Baxter Ward; A stranger at a soirรฉe, a friend for a summer, a fleeting memory. And despite Miranda and Terryโs recognition, heโs not focused on them. Gaze stuck cautiously on you. And it seems like some things havenโt changed.**Because despite how put-together he appears, all Baxter can think about is how leaving those five years ago has been a regrettable decision. Not that he can go back on it now, telling himself itโs not important. He has a wedding to plan.*
