The Further Apart We Are Rucas

01/ Hello

It's Been 10 Years Since I've Seen Lucas.

Not A Day Goes By That I Wish I Could Just Say Hello Again

I've Been In Great Touch With Maya and Farkle

My Acting Career Took Off But It Died Down After I Got Maried Had A Child And Divorced

I've Moved Back To Greenwich Village New York Again

I've Taken Over Topanga's And Maya Owns It With Me

I Would Say I Feel Like I'm Successful But Anyone Would Be Able To Tell That It's Not True

If Only I Didn't Let Go So Soon..

Maybe That Could Make Me Happier

Who Am I Kidding Ever Since I Came To Believe That My. stupid Ex Husband Did Actually Leave Me I Haven't Been The Pure Ray Of Sunshine I Once Was.

My Daughter Shouldn't Be Experiencing This

Not At Such A Young Age She Only A Year old

Her Name Is Megan

Since I Don't Have A Steady Income I Have To Work At Topanga's From Down To Dusk To Make Enough Money

Max Was Actually Smart Enough To Take Advantage Of the Money I'd Saved God I Hate Him

It's Become A Normal Routine For  Megan and I To Wake Up Freshen Up Eat Get Dressed Than Go To Topanga's

It was Thankfully Still The Same Place Where People  Come To Sit And Talk To Each Other

I Was Carrying Megan When A Person Sitting On A Stool By the Counter I Was Cleaning Off Jerked Me Out Of  My Train Of Thought

Welcome To Topanga's How May I You I Asked Rather Bluntly Staring Down At My Shoes

A Cheesecake Please A Deep Familiar Voice Responded Politely I Looked Up He Smiled

Lucas? It's... Been A While I Said Awkwardly

Hey He Said Still Smiling I Cleared My Throat

Hello How Are You? I Asked Just Making It More Awkward

I've Been Better Is That Your Daughter? He Asked

She's A Year Old I'm Still Getting Through A Divorce and A Financial Crisis Her Dad... Sort Of Left Us A Few Months ago

I Explained He Simply Nodded Maya Rushed Over Behind Me

How About you Go Make These Smoothies She Said Handing Me An Order

I'll Get The Cheesecake

Maya To The Rescue Again

Lately I've Been Relying On Her To Help Me Get Through The Memory Of Being Left

It Was A Hell Of A Joyride That's For Sure

He Said He'd Just Be Going To the Store and That He'd Be Back In An Hour

Than I Noticed That He Wanted To Officially Divorce Me

All I Had To Say Was Hello
