2012, still

"Do you like the costume?" Blaine twirls around.

"Lillie thought it was endearing. I actually saw her the other day in the mall. The two of us have been getting closer, since it feels like I don't have any friends anymore. David graduated, Sam is busy working for something for his family, Kurt…" He trails off.

"I don't mind. Lillie is a lovely woman. She might be old, but she doesn't act like it. She's actually going to hike this weekend. Lillie, hiking. She must be in her seventies. I never asked, since they say it's impolite to ask for a woman's age. Yes, I might've been reading 'How To Properly Woo A Lady', the book my grans gave me years ago. That's how lonely I am.

The superhero club also keeps my mind off other things. And I had forgotten how much I love crafting and designing. I made this costume myself. I haven't really been enjoying anything lately, so it feels good to do something fun. I mean, I've been kind of in a funk lately, especially after Grease. Kurt made pretty sure he doesn't want anything to do with me.

Maybe I should take Hunter's proposal after all."
