Characters/Pairings: Cordelia Chase/Richie Ryan
His bad boy streak is too big. Bikes are nice and all, but there's no helmet hair with a Porshe.
He moves around like some people change socks. She calls him a travelling insurance salesman.
He won't take her to France. He spends a third of the year there, but will never take her on one measly trip.
His hair clashes with her own. After all, the model couple they are always thought should indeed look good together.
She leaves him at twenty-seven, a depressed wreck, with all the shallow excuses in the world.
Cordelia never admits that she left him because, once upon a time and ten years earlier...
Richie had been older than her.
