Prompt (from sim_spiration):
Quotes: "What we anticipate seldom occurs; what we least expected generally happens." (Benjamin Disraeli)
Ripp couldn't believe he was hearing from Tank again after all these years.
They'd never had a real conversation before, only arguments. More often they were fighting, speaking with their fists rather than words. Then, after Ripp moved, they just dropped all contact.
Tank thought Ripp should be the one reaching out to him, not the other way around. Ripp had always started the fights with his provocation, insulting and irritating Tank until he couldn't take it anymore. But Tank didn't want to leave things as they were, and if that meant being the bigger man and apologizing so be it.
