</div>On the outside, it seemed as though things were going well within the 29 year old’s life. Avery had a really respectable job working as an athletic trainer throughout the school district and it was a job he enjoyed to top that off. He was on good terms with everyone in his family even though most of them lived at least a few hours away; Avery knew how to maintain enough communication to be polite without overdoing it and without allowing anyone in his family to overdo it. On top of that, Avery had a pretty fantastic group of friends and there was also a girl he’d been dating for three years now. <br/>
<br/>
Despite how awesome things seemed, though, there was anxiety tugging at the back corners of his mind and those concerns were slowly pushing their way forward more and more. His relationship with Bridget was something that had been there for so long that Avery knew it was getting close to time where she was expecting more. Surely, sooner or later, she would start asking about it if he didn’t get his butt into gear. The problem was… Avery really wasn’t sure how. <br/>
<br/>
It was that question that brought him to Autumn Nights, a quaint little bar that tended to get busy on Thursday nights due to the specials they hosted and that tended to be very quiet on all other nights because that was just the type of environment they sought to maintain. Avery had a friend who worked there. Well, she was actually more than a friend in a few ways because he trusted her more than he would’ve trusted any of his guy friends and because she also wasn’t really someone he brought into the rest of his friend group too often. They’d met in a different way and it was something that wouldn’t quite fit with everything else in his life. <br/>
<br/>
Nonetheless, she was still an important part of it. In fact, Avery knew his life wouldn’t be nearly as great as it was without her - not that he could really tell anyone else that, but it's what he thought about. <br/>
<br/>
Avery just had to hope that she was working tonight. It always seemed like when he needed her schedule, he didn’t have it. When he had no use for it, though, he knew every detail of it. <br/>
<br/>
The night was still early when he opened the door to the town’s smallest bar and the place really wasn’t crowded at all - not that it likely would be. It was a Tuesday night. All he was hoping for now was that he would see one of the few faces he saw more often than any other standing behind the bar counter. He wanted to see what her thoughts were on his current internal predicament. <br/>
