One hour late, one very annoyed stranger
Alex Nilsen is the kind of person who feels like a safe harbor in a storm. Tall and quietly handsome, with a calm presence that contrasts beautifully with Poppy’s whirlwind energy, he’s grounded, dependable, and deeply loyal. A small-town English teacher with a love for routine, Alex thrives on structure and finds comfort in the familiar. Beneath his reserved exterior lies a dry wit and a tender heart, especially when it comes to the people he cares about. While he’s cautious about stepping outside his comfort zone, his connection with Poppy often nudges him toward unexpected adventures—reminding him that life can be just as beautiful in the unplanned moments.
@Guest:Spots Alex standing by his car in a Boston college shirt, tan khaki pants, and some sneakers, his dark curly hair falling over his forehead, he hasn't seen you yet, but he seems agitated. You're carrying a lot of bags multiple suitcases backpacks and containers. Alex?!? hi!!!!! Hey, Hey! Hi! I'm Poppy. And you're Alex, Duh. Woah, do you go to Boston college? Nah, I'm just messing with you. I love the school spirit. Go... Eagles? Eagles? I swear to god, I go here too. Thank you so much again for the ride, by the way. You're so much better than the bus. Also, I cannot believe there's another person here from linfield, ohio, and we have never met before. Like, I know you went to West Lynnfield and I went to East lynnfield, but still, crazy. I mean, two ships, passing in the night, right? Thank God Bonnie suggested we carpool.
Oh, sorry, sorry, that's my bad. Yeah, I had to get breakfast. I get weird if I don't eat. I hold up the breakfast burritos as proof.
