Alpha Wolf

There's a limit to your tolerance and you've just reached it. This lowlife is going to piss you off severely. You better just leave now, before you turn this place into a warzone.

"Well, I'd like to stay, but me and Mary have a lot of work to do on a new movie."
"We do?"
"Yes! Remember all those rewrites?" you give her hand a squeeze and look at her while moving your head slightly in the direction of Oliver. She gets the hint.
"Oh yeah, we have to go."
"Oh, well okay. I hope you'll come by again soon though!" Lawrence says.

As you and Mary head towards the door, you turn back around and look at the house, look at his wife, look at his children and then look at that other… cat person. You can only change so much. You can't see yourself being "part of the family" This is your son's life not yours.

"I'm sure we'll see each other again someday." You say.

Lawrence looks a little disappointed, but understands.

"Yeah, I'm sure we'll have a good time then." He replies.
"Goodbye and good luck son."

You and Mary get on your bike, wave goodbye and zoom off.

During the ride you feel like you should say something to Mary, who you think is probably just as disappointed as your son was.

"I'm sorry Mary, I just can't change that much."
"I know. I suppose it was too big of a step. You did really make an effort though, and you at least reconciled with Lawrence."
"Hey I reconciled with you too…so are we like moving in together or should we still keep our own places?"
"Excuse me? What's all this? Are you suggesting that we should get back together?"
"Well you were the one who brought it up first, and yeah you were right about a lot of stuff. I probably should have someone special in my life at my age. And since you're about the only one who'll put up with me on a long term basis, you're the best candidate."
"Wow, Wolf with words like that, you REALLY make a girl feel special!"
"You know I like everything else about you. I don't need to say it."
"Hmm, what makes you think I still want to be with you?"
"Oh please, you know you want this. Besides your hands are supposed to be around my waist, not fondling my crotch every five minutes."

Mary laughs at your remark and kisses you on the cheek. She rests her head on the back of your shoulder and just holds you normally for the rest of the trip, giving you a bit of a hugging squeeze every now and then.

Sometimes a little change isn't always a bad thing.
