Honey & Rowan - Empty

Spring had finally come, but it was snowing - again. And Honey had an unexpected visitor. 


She figured she might as well see what she wanted.


Luz: I know I'm probably the last person you want to see right now, but I need to apologize.


Honey (thinking): This had better be good... 

Luz: What happened the other night was my fault. I know how it must have looked, but Rowan didn't kiss me. I kissed him...and I know I shouldn't have, I know that now...it's just...


Luz: Ever since my mom got remarried I've been having a hard time. And then moving to the city - I didn't know anyone, and Rowan was the only one who was nice to me.


Honey: Is there a point to this?

Luz: Sorry, Hugo says I ramble...

Honey: Hugo?


Luz: Yeah, I broke up with him when I moved, but...that was a mistake too...I thought I was doing okay, but I think I really just miss him... Anyway, what I came to say was, I'm sorry. And I hope you'll forgive me. And Rowan...he didn't have anything to do with what happened. He even told me he had a girlfriend, but I didn't listen...

Honey: So, you're saying he didn't kiss you back?


Luz: No, he pushed me away actually...and then he ran after you. And that's what happened...

Honey: I see. Thank you for telling me that.

Luz: Yeah. And, I'm sorry. Again.

Honey: Are you...going to get back together with Hugo?

Luz: I hope so. If he'll take me back.

Honey: Well...good luck.

Luz: Thanks.

They parted ways, albeit a bit awkwardly. Honey had a lot to think about.

Rowan had finished moving into his new apartment. Geeta and her new husband had come over to help him move. He really was so grateful for her. 


Rowan: Thank you for helping me get settled in. 

Geeta: Of course, we are happy to help! You've really done well for yourself. 

Rowan: ...yeah. Are you still living in the Spice Market? 


Geeta: No, we moved to Don's ranch in Chestnut Ridge! It's gorgeous out there! You should come and visit, bring your girl along. Where is she? I thought she'd like to check out your new place.


Rowan: ...she broke up with me.

Geeta: Oh...


Rowan: I was going to marry her.

Geeta: What happened?


Rowan: There was a girl at one of my shows. She kissed me. Honey saw everything. I was such an idiot... I should have seen it coming, should have stopped it. It all happened so fast. 

Geeta: You're not an idiot. You're young! Ah...to be young again... So what? A girl kissed you. Do you love her?


Rowan: Of course not. 

Geeta: Then go tell Honey that.


Rowan: She won't talk to me.

Geeta: Then sing it to her. Use that guitar of yours.

Rowan: I did write something for her...

Geeta: I'm sure she'll come around eventually.

Rowan: ...thank you.


Don joined them out on the deck.


Don: You ready to go, Darlin'?

Geeta: Yes. Rowan, dear, you take care of yourself. Everything will work out.

Rowan stared out at the city for a long time after they left. He'd finally done it. He'd lived the city life, played music, moved into an apartment with a breathtaking view. And without Honey to share it with him it all just felt...empty.
