Summary
“It’s funny, Mr. Howard.”
“What’s that?”
“You’ve won a lot of awards for your work, but I’m not so sure you’re a very good actor anymore.” Lucy said.
“Is that so?” He asked, grinding his teeth a bit and slowly spinning the empty glass on the bar top. He’d been called a bad actor before, but that was by industry professionals, know-it-all critics, and gossip rags. Pretty girls at bars didn’t go around calling him a bad actor. Not that he spent much time talking to pretty girls at bars at all.
“Mhmm.” She said. “You sit there and tell me this cause isn’t worth it. That I’ll only get hurt in the end. But to me, it’s as plain as the nose on your face… You still believe in this cause. Even if it hurts you. And I think I’d like to see you get back on the horse.” Lucy smiled, then, winking over her shoulder as she called back to him, “What do you think, cowboy?”

Summary
“You knew who I was, and you still did all that. The Cooper Howard I knew wouldn’t have done that to me.” Lucy said.
“That was 200 years ago, darlin’.” He sneered.
“For you. For me, that was four years ago. I was asleep while you turned into… this. I should leave you here. I’ll find my dad without you. Thank you so much for your time, Cooper. It was great to get reacquainted.”
“Lucy!” He called from the couch. “Fuckin’ hell, girl, just wait.”
Lucy spun violently on her heel. She wanted to shout at him. To ask how on earth he was Cooper Howard. She had known him. She had been friends with him. She’d been well on her way to falling in love with him. How was this scarred, vile thing him?
“You’re not the man I met 200 years ago.” She said.
“Oh yeah?” He spat. “You’re exactly how I remember you.”
