#and about 57 twix bars
Text
Back Then
(Batsis/Jason Todd/Dick Grayson)
Description: Reader’s little brother is having some trouble adjusting to his new life. Sad toward the end.
The sun was bashfully hiding behind some thin gray clouds, not unusual for any given afternoon. Leaning against my still-warm black Maybach 57, I tried not to grow impatient.
“Maybe he joined an after school activity.” Dick mumbled through the Twix bar I’d picked up for him at the vending machine during lunch. He was sitting in the front seat, with the window rolled down, listening to Adele. I rolled my eyes, knowing full well that Jason Peter Todd would rather be skinned than join an after school activity. Still, though, Gotham Preparatory School for Boys had let out eleven minutes ago, and most of the other boys had gotten into their parent’s cars and sped away to their uptown abodes. Dick and I had come straight from Gotham Academy, punctual as usual, so as to avoid a folly of disapproving glares from dad and Alfred at dinner tonight. Where the hell was that kid?
“Maybe he ran away. Joined the circus.” Dick tried again.
“Maybe I’m gonna put you in a circus.”
“Back in a circus.” He corrected with a grin. Finally, at 4:15, Jason emerged from the school’s artfully carved wooden doors. His head was bowed, dark hair sticking up in all different directions, brow furrowed. He looked small in his school uniform, plaid socks and disheveled blazer. He hugged a book to his chest. A leathery hand lay on his shoulder, attached to a spindly man in his late 50’s, with receding salt and pepper hair, and golden oval glasses perched on his beak-like nose. I narrowed my eyes and crossed my arms, and upon spotting me, the man turned pale as a ghost, just as Jason looked up to reveal a purple bruise under his eye. He snapped his gaze back down. Dick quickly assessed the situation as well, and hopped out of the car, standing equal to me at a solid 5’8, but with all the toned muscle of a gymnast since walking age. We were about to play good cop bad cop- me, the polite, sophisticated elder sister who didn’t want to involve her egregiously powerful father, unless provoked by lack of cooperation, and Dick, the ill-tempered 15-year-old brother ready to raise hell if he didn’t get a good idea of what the fuck happened.
“Headmaster Ellison.” I said tersely, smoothing out my Gotham Academy uniform. I was thoroughly familiar with him from Dick’s days at the prep school- he’d called him Headmaster Hellison, and had a catalogue of grievances as long as his list of unfinished assignments.
“Ah, Miss Wayne. You look lovely today.” I had to steel my face into something vaguely agreeable, because even though it appeared he was the one afraid of me, I was 17 and in a schoolgirl skirt, and something about getting complimented by old men always skeeved me.
“What happened?” I cut right to the point, deciding small talk might soften my resolve, and I was in the mood for this to piss me off.
“Well, you see, we had a small incident today-“
“It’s okay! Can we go home?” Jason piped up abruptly and nervously, eyes pleading with me to let it go. Unfortunately, Waynes skewed toward long grudges.
“Come here, let me see.” I said more softly. Stiffly, Jason trudged across the neatly cut grass, still avoiding my eye. The bruise itself wasn’t bad, but I could tell it had just begun to bloom.
The Headmaster cleared his throat. “Jason has been encountering some problems with some of the other boys. This wouldn’t be the first incident, but it did escalate this time-“
“Not the first incident?” I clipped.
“It never got physical before, just some small verbal altercations that we easily handled.”
“Obviously they weren’t handled.” It was Dick’s turn to interrupt. It always struck me how he could make his voice go from lazily playful to stark and authoritative, biting off words almost as effectively as dad. Who needed Batman and Robin when Y/N Wayne and Dick Grayson were on the case?
“Please, can we just go? I’m okay, honest.” Jason begged, grabbing my hand and tugging just a little. His bronzed face was all swollen and puffy- not just from the fight. I could tell his eyes were rimmed with red. But he looked at me with all the determination and bravado of a street rat from Gotham, and my heart always bled for him in that regard. I sighed.
“Well, I have violin practice here shortly, Headmaster Ellison, so I’m going to take my brother home,” I bit off the brother part with a special zeal to emphasize that Jason Todd, no matter his name or background, was a Wayne, and I was his reminder. “And my father will be calling this evening to handle it once he gets off work.” Work that includes being able to liquidize this whole school right into his bank account in the time it takes to send an email.
“Get in, Jason.” I said. He did.
After a silent ride home, in which Dick tried to coax the full story out of an increasingly moody Jason, we arrived back at the manor whereupon I briefed Alfred, concerned, supportive, and called dad, exasperated, quiet. I let my little brother stew in his room until later that night, when I finally got tired of waiting him out and knocked on the door.
“Jaybird.” I cooed softly.
“…”
“Jay. If I open this door and you’re not there, I will set up the largest manhunt this city has ever witnessed.”
“I’m okay.” A quiet voice called back, sounding annoyed.
“May I come in?” I asked.
“…”
“…”
“Ok.”
I cracked the door open. He was balled up in his window nook, engrossed in a book. The room was dark, and he was reading with a flashlight, which was really unnecessary because he had about a dozen lamps, including a really cool lava lamp that Dick had gotten him. He’d changed out of his uniform and into pants and a hoodie, his hood pulled over with the strings pulled taut. He glanced down at the keys in my hand, narrowing his eyes.
“Come on.” I said.
“Where?”
“You haven’t eaten since you got home, kiddo.” His gaze fell askance. When it came to Jason, food was the way to ensure the answer was yes, whatever the question was.
“Can you bring me back something?” He grumbled quietly after a moment. I shook my head.
“I’m going to Sherman’s. Dine in only. One time offer.” I said with a smile. He frowned.
“I don’t wanna talk to Bruce.”
“Bruce isn’t coming. Just you and me. And we don’t even have to talk.” After some consideration, he pulled himself from his nook and brushed past me on his way out. I grinned to myself. Too easy.
Sherman’s Diner was the finest restaurant experience in Gotham City. The reflection of the neon lights skewed across puddles which danced with the drizzling rain. Fuchsia, cyan, lime green, red. Cracked white tiles and a sign with Sherman himself; a little plump chef man who, despite his jovial countenance and enthusiastic smile, appeared to be weeping tears of rust. Inside, the floor was unswept, the tables a bit sticky from all the no-show teenage staff of the payroll, and one of the lights above a lonely booth flickered. Jason loved it. The waitresses loved him.
“Come on in and sit down, hun, we’ll get ya some coffee!” A blonde woman called from behind the counter. One thing about Gothamites and Diners, black coffee was a 24/7 ordeal; 9pm on a school night was no exception. I let Jason pick the booth- he usually went for the same one, creature of habit that he was. We slid into the cool, torn red leather and neither of us needed to look at the menu. We sipped our coffees quietly for a while- Jason pretending to like it because it was the worldly thing to do. He’d never admit that he only started after he saw that dad and I always passed on sugar and cream.
It seemed our little evening standoff was going to bleed into the night. I took it as an opportunity to show him how patient I could be when necessary. The waitress- Darcy- set down a small slice of Oreo cake on the table. For him. Finally, he sighed, taking a bite of it.
“I hate school.” He mumbled.
“The school? Or the kids?” He didn’t answer. “What happened, Jay? Last week you loved school.”
“I like English.” He offered.
“Jason.” I said, leaning forward and folding my hands on the table. Food hadn’t worked. Patience was out the window. It was time to apply pressure. “If you don’t tell me who hit you, I, on my honor as a Wayne, am obligated to track down every snotty little boy who ever set foot in Gotham Prep and hit their snotty little faces to see how they like it.”
Jason’s lips tugged into a smile, which he fought, and eventually lost. So he hid it behind his cake. But after a minute, his smile fell. Something else crossed his face and he looked out the window.
“I hit first.” He said quietly. Solemnly. I blinked at him, surprised.
“You did?”
“Yeah. Jared Mullins. I hit him first.”
“Why?”
He sniffed, furrowing his brow to try and fool me into believing he was something tougher than a ten year old boy. Maybe he was. Tougher than the likes of whoever the hell Jared Mullins was. “He said…”
I waited.
“He said I was poor. Said I don’t belong at the school. That Bruce only took me in cause he felt sorry for me.”
“Sounds like he deserved to get hit.” I sipped my coffee. He didn’t smile again. A beat passed in its place.
“I don’t know why I hit him.”
“Because it was a stupid thing to say.” He shook his head.
“That’s not it. He was right.”
My heart fluttered in my chest. “Jason! The fuck he was. You know that’s not true.” Alfred would’ve been appalled to have me cuss in front of him, as if it wasn’t a large majority of his vocabulary since before he came to the manor.
“You don’t get it.” He said, eyes glued to the rain on the window. “You’re his daughter. His real daughter.”
“And Dick isn’t his real son?” Dick was usually the one to advise him when his legitimacy came into question, not me. Because in truth, I didn’t understand. Jason didn’t answer the question. A plate of chicken tenders and fries appeared, but they went untouched.
“Look at me please.” He did.
“It doesn’t matter that you’re not dad’s real son. And it definitely doesn’t matter that Jared whoever the hell thinks so or not. Dad took you in because of who you are, and everything you’re going to be. You belong in this family and wherever else you go, because you’re worthy of everything Gotham has to offer- and more.”
Jason’s face crumpled a little before he composed himself, blinking fast and wrestling with the emotion. He didn’t say thanks, but that was thanks enough.
“Hey. Did you see how scared Headmaster Hellison was?” I asked smugly.
A small smile. “Yeah.”
“That’s because you’re one of us. And we scare the piss out of people like him and Jared Mullins. Cause we’re a damn good family.”
Jason smiled at me. “Yeah. I guess we are.”
*
People like us
I watched- all I could do was watch. There was no way in hell I could stop him. The Jason that stood before me was 6’3 and impenetrable. Even if I thought I could get the gun from his hand, I wasn’t going to save anyone. The only thing about himself he kept when he drug himself out of the grave was his stubborn conviction. Anyone he wanted dead would wind up that way.
Scare the piss out of people like him.
The man let out a guttural, desperate noise as he tried to crawl away, pale as a ghost as Jason stood over him. He was a criminal, to be sure, but not one willing to die for his trade. Evidently, that wasn’t enough.
Cause we’re a damn good family.
“Red Hood! Stand down, now.” Batman’s voice snarled, echoing off of the concrete walls and floor. I flinched. Jason didn’t. A single shot, blood spatter, all the rest. His red monochrome helmet was on the ground, black hair all mussed and disheveled from the fight. A bruise was blooming under his eye.
His gaze flicked up, landing on me. Any trace, any remnant of my brother was gone. The man who came back was a dejected, solemn thing, who carried this dark look in his eye and looked like he could eat me whole. I tried to convey something to him with my eyes. It didn’t appear to take effect.
“You’re late to the party.” His voice rumbled in his chest, and he turned his attention to Batman.
I tried not to let my voice shake as I stepped forward.
“We’re here now.” I said.
His jaw clenched at the sound of my voice. Something grim passed his features.
“Yeah. I guess we are.”

The questions ending in 7, cause that's my fave #
197: My cellphone company is:

177: The last three songs I bought were?
uhmm I cannot remember the last time I purchased music that wasn’t vinyl at a garage sale… the last three song’s I downloaded were postmodern jukebox’s teenage dirtbag, something just like this and the Wynonna Earp theme song
[ I Believe In ]
167: Fate:
I like to think some things are fate, like certain people are supposed to be in your life or finding yourself in a place when you need it most kind of thing but I have a hard time getting behind it on a large scale. There’s just too much messed up shit in the world and I feel like full stop believing in fate is sort resigning yourself to well there’s nothing I can do because if it’s how it is that’s how it was meant to be kind of thing.
157: War:
as a last resort sometimes you have to fight. I’m also american and the reality of our history with wars is detestable, to say the least. I also don’t believe there’s ever reason enough to use like nuclear weapons.
[ This or That ]

If it’s spring i’d say autumn and if it’s autumn i’d say spring. honestly I’m a fan of all the seasons they each have things I love.
137: Coke or Pepsi: Coke.
127: East Coast or West Coast:
East coast but that is completely biased bc I grew up here and I’ve never been to the West coast. I really wanna go though so who knows this answer could change one day
[ Here’s What I Think About ]
117: MySpace:
Myspace was chill except for the top 8 that was brutal. I was obsessed with icons and the layouts. I still have a folder saved that has jumped several computers that’s like ‘icons that r my life’ and is hundreds of saved photobucket icons…it’s a trip
107: College:
Personally I loved it. Wish I could afford to graduate. However it is totally not for everyone and I hate this societal shift that p much says if you don’t go to college good luck affording to live except joke’s on you even if you do graduate good luck affording to live bc you probably have student loans and also there aren’t enough jobs
[ Last time I ]
97: Swam in a pool:
Real talk I cannot actually remember the last time I was even near a pool.
87: The last movie I saw:
The new Power Rangers. so fucking good
77: Last time someone said something you were thinking:
I can’t think of a specific instance off the top of my head atm but it was definitely @nerdsbianhokie they like always inevitably say something I’m thinking like every time we talk, they’re awesome like that
67: The person that makes me cry the most is:
idk me probably *snorts*
57: TV shows you watch:
Supergirl obvi, I’ll be watching Wynonna Earp, Sydney is back so I’m watching Saving Hope again. Honestly I used to watch so much tv but now I’m just tired I binge on netflix when I can but I just havent’t been watching much lately between work and director sanvers taking over my life
[ My Favorites ]
37: Candy:
I love sour candy like sourpatch kids or straws, warheads. umm jolly ranchers, skittles,twizzlers and then chocolate bc these are separate categories okay are twix, milky way midnight, mini reese’s peanut butter cups and mini m&ms but the mini part is v important. Also I don’t like hershey’s chocolate but the discontinued hershey’s smores bar was amazeballs
27: Clothing store:
my aesthetic says Hot Topic my wallet says Wal mart
17: Magazine:
National Geographic
7: Perfume:
Right now Elizabeth Taylor’s White Diamonds it was the perfume my grams always wore and I miss her a lot.
to wear though I don’t really do the perfume thing but I wore either vanilla or dark kiss from bath and body works for a while and I’m sure there’s still some in a dresser somewhere.

What I Spent: A 5-Night Road Trip to Montreal
01 of 07
Upfront Costs
Elspeth Velten
The upfront costs of vacations are predictable. It’s the little things—airport snacks, cocktails before dinner, tipping a tour guide—that can throw even the most well-planned vacation budget off track. In this series, we look at the spending patterns of real travelers in popular destinations, so you can estimate what you’ll actually spend.
In this installment, one couple takes a five-night road trip from New York to Montreal.
Airbnb: $424 for 3 nights
Hotel: 53,065 Chase Ultimate Rewards Points ($795.98) for 2 nights
Size of Group: 2
Continue to 2 of 7 below.
02 of 07
Friday
Elspeth Velten
11:30 a.m.: Our loaner car (a 2017 Ford Edge Sport) is being dropped off outside my Manhattan apartment, but finding a parking spot during the daily alternate side parking wars will be no small task. The driver double parks — like every other car on the street at this time — and I realize I'll need to wait around until 12:30 p.m. to snag a spot as soon as the street cleaning timeframe is over. I go grab a shrimp empanada from the corner cart to make the wait taste better. Cost: $1.50
2:55 p.m.: My husband Charlie is home from work, our bags are packed and we're ready to go. Unfortunately, so is the rest of NYC — it's the Friday before Fourth of July weekend, and the FDR is bumper-to-bumper. I take the first round of driving — Charlie's new here and only has his Learner's Permit, and we're not clear on what the rules are around him driving on NYC highways.
4:55 p.m.: We pull off the road to quickly switch seats, so I can broadcast how cool this car is over my Insta Story (literally cool — air-conditioned seats are something I can no longer live without), SYNC up my iPhone to get the tunes going, and eat leftover gummy bears I found in my bag.
5:30 p.m.: There's a store called Taste NY in the median of the Taconic State Parkway, and you can bet I'll be stopping there. We leave with a chocolate chip cookie, a cheddar and chickpea scone and one cold brew for the road. Cost: $10.65
8 p.m.: There have been some serious storms outside (torrential downpours and flash floods) and driving is treacherous. We need to eat it off. We Google the nearby options and decide on New Way Lunch of Queensbury. It's a dive-y diner, and it's perfect. We go for two hot dogs with meat sauce, onions and mustard, a fish sandwich with fries, and two birch beers. Cost: $24.00, including tip
8:30 p.m.: We gas up before getting back on the road. Cost: $20.32
9:30 p.m.: Are we in Canada yet? No. One more snack stop — Charlie gets a Twix and a water. Cost: $4.35
1 a.m. (Saturday): We made it to our Airbnb! We scored a prime parking spot on the street and had no problem getting into the apartment. Time to hit the sack.
Continue to 3 of 7 below.

Saturday
Patrick Donovan/Getty Images
10:30 a.m.: We're awake and ready to get going — today, much like the rest of our trip, is all about eating. First thing's first: coffee. We find an ATM and then make a bee-line for the first cafe we can find. It happens to be the hipster hot spot Hof Kelsten bakery in Mile End. We order one latte and one cortado to go. Cost: $7.00
10:50 a.m.: We walk up to St. Viateur in Mile End, one of Montreal's two most famous bagel joints. I have my heart set on a lox sandwich, but the location we just arrived at doesn't seem to have seating or a sandwich menu. We confirm that we're at the wrong location (St. Viateur's sit-down cafe is located back where we started, in Mont-Royal) and decide to fit bagels in on another morning. All the better, because we're headed to the famous Jean Talon market.
12 noon: We've made our initial lap around the market, and decide to start first at Boucherie An-Nasr, a brick-and-mortar butcher on the outskirts��that's advertising merguez sandwiches. We share one merguez sandwich with tomato and harissa mayo, and one water. It's delicious. Cost: $6.33
12:18 p.m.: Next stop is the market's renowned charcuterie: Les Cochons Tout Ronds. We seek advice on what's best to try, and settle on a 100-gram mix of the spicy and regular salami, and a 100-gram slice of terrine, to go. Cost: $6.61
12:30 p.m.: What's charcuterie without cheese? We head to La Fromagerie Hamel, where we let a cheesemonger talk us into one Quebecoise and one French cheese. Cost: $10.18
12:35 p.m.: The La Boite aux Huitres oyster counter is a must in the market. We ask for 12 Canadian oysters — two each of six types from both the East and West coasts of the country. We stake out two seats at the bar while we wait for the oysters to get shucked, and then down them.
The couple next to us is waiting for a special order of “sea angel” oysters, and when they're delivered, we understand the novelty. They're huge! We ask about them and as our neighbors give us the scoop, our shucker lets us know he cracked open an extra for a different order on accident. One massive free (and somewhat terrifying) oyster, coming our way. Cha-ching. Cost: $23.17
12:57 p.m.: So far we've only split one sandwich and 12 oysters, so we definitely still have room to split a crepe. We go to battle over which type to order, but I give in to Charlie's plan: spinach, egg, ham and swiss. Savory crepes for life. Cost: $11.61
1:34 p.m.: We've finally eaten enough (I mean, not really, but OK). We pop in to Pharmaprix on the way home and leave with a razor, hair bands, water and toothpaste. Cost: $15.75
1:47 p.m.: It's raining. We jump into the metro at Beaubien towards Mont-Royal. Cost: $5.12
2:18 p.m.: We stop in the local depanneur (corner shop) to grab 10 beers and one big Evian before retreating to digest in our Airbnb. Cost: $22.21
6:45 p.m.: Our dinner reservation is at 8:30, so we leave plenty of time to hit a bar for a drink before. We head to Bily Kun, a Czech bar known for its extensive beer list and its stuffed ostrich decorations. We order two small beers by Quebec brewery Brasserie McAuslan: one with apricot and one cream ale. Of course, we can't resist a snack. With our second round, we add a “Combo Jenni” — a plate of nachos with a side of cheese sausage. Cost: $22.28
8:30 p.m.: It's our turn at Au Pied de Cochon.
In researching this trip, I, of course, set my heart on a couple of restaurants that are super difficult to book. With a little bit of help from the concierge at the Hotel Gault (a Preferred Hotels & Resorts property), where we booked a room for the last two nights of the trip, I was able to snag reservations at three of my top choices. This is one of them.
Au Pied de Cochon is known for its unapologetic Canadian menu of rich meats, poutine and maple syrup desserts. The menu has an entire foie gras section! We decide to start with the tuna tartare (how could we not, when the tuna is fresh today, straight from Nova Scotia?), and then share the stuffed pig's foot and a foie gras poutine. We glug through two glasses of orange wine, one glass of red and one bottle of sparkling water, before admitting defeat in the face of half a remaining trotter. Our waitress pours us free shots of Calvados, and takes one with us. We drag ourselves home on foot, and I vow to never eat again. Cost: $158.51
10:27 p.m.: Charlie can't end the night without sugar. He grabs an ice pop at the depanneur. Cost: $1.88

8:30 a.m.: I wake up, and immediately start to think about what time I should get Charlie moving so we can go get bagels and not have to wait on a long line.
8:45 a.m.: Oh wait, something suspicious is happening. Those are probably just hunger pains, right? Some fresh air on the walk to the bagel cafe will do me good, and then I'll be fine.
9 a.m.: This isn't normal.
9:30 a.m.: Oh, haha, I have actual food poisoning. “It's probably Norovirus”, I tell everyone in my phonebook. Good thing this entire trip wasn't planned around eating or anything. Cost: My dignity and lifelong desire to eat oysters ever again
12:45 p.m.: Charlie looks hungry — he can't do life alone. I try to pull it together for the sake of the team. I buy a water immediately, then make it about two blocks before retiring to a bench to hopefully not vomit in front of Canadians while Charlie goes back to Hof Kelsten for a croissant. I mean, I get it, but, kind of rude. Cost: $4.30
3:20 p.m.: Trying this whole “going outside” thing again. But not without supplies. I grab three individual packets of Advil, a water, and a soda (for Charles). Cost: $5.13
3:40 p.m.: I made it further this time — to Boulangerie Guillaume. I can do this. We settle for just one baguette and an almond croissant, and we walk over to sit in the grass at Mount Royal Park with the cheese and terrine we bought at the market yesterday. I'm suddenly feeling much better (it's relative — things won't be normal again for at least a week). It's Saturday, so the park is alive with the sounds of the Tam-Tams, a weekly drum circle that sprouts up around the George-Étienne Cartier Monument, and the crowds that the drummers attract. Cost: $6.10
7:15 p.m.: We cannot lose a night's worth of food plans. We don't have a reservation for tonight, but I planned that we'd drive to Le Coq de L'est, a hipster tandoori chicken joint way out in the 'burbs. Having a car on this trip certainly has its perks! Surely I can handle some chicken. We order a whole chicken (which comes with frites, cole slaw and house bread) and a Caesar salad. Charlie has a beer. The meal is worth the drive; this is the best Caesar salad I've ever had, and that's not the food poisoning talking! We wrap the leftovers. Cost: $55.20

10:30 a.m.: We are awake, we are in eating condition, and we are at St. Viateur. We wait about 20 minutes for a table, and then order two traditional bagel sandwiches (that's smoked salmon with cream cheese, tomato, onions, capers and lemon) — one on sesame, one on all dressed (AKA everything) — with crab salad on the side. And two filter coffees! I'm a New Yorker, so it's important to me personally to suss out the realities of this bagel rivalry. Cost: $30.42
11:23 a.m.: The bagels are bready, and there are no free refills on the filter coffee. I'm still a devout Long Island bagel enthusiast! On our walk back, we (I) can't stifle our intrigue surrounding a mysterious bakery we walked past earlier with a long line. We find it on the way back, and while I wait in line, I determine they're famous for making French kouign amann pastries. Guess what? They're sold out for the next 40 minutes. I grab a cheese croissant and a raspberry and almond danish instead. We save them for later. (Can you tell our food collection is growing?) Cost: $4.63
12:29 a.m.: We've checked out of the Airbnb and stashed our stuff in the car. Now it's time to do some damage to that leftover stash we've been hoarding. We grab drinks at the depanneur and set our sights on the top of Mont Royal. We're rewarded after the climb with a view and a picnic. Cost: $3.32
3:23 p.m.: Before checking into the Hotel Gault, we decide to drive over to the Atwater Market, another of the city's popular food halls. We meander between the rows of outdoor plants and perfectly preened baskets of berries, and drool over the display cases of pate inside. Remembering our existing food collection, we buy only a Coke and a Pellegrino. Cost: $2.23
4:17 p.m.: We find a parking garage near the hotel. Cost: $13.29 per day for 3 days = $39.87
6:30 p.m.: This hotel is beautiful — our modern room incorporates original design elements seamlessly behind the building's 19th century facade — and we booked it on points! Dinner tonight is at 8 p.m., so we head out early for drinks. Cost: $7.82 for two unlimited evening passes on the Metro
7 p.m.: We go for beers before dinner on Rue Saint-Denis — Charlie picks L’Amere a Boire, and we take two seats at the terrace on the street. Cost: $23.51 for five beers.
8 p.m: Tonight’s the night for L’Express, one of Montreal’s most famous French brasseries. We’re seated towards the back, where tables of two are lined up with little space between, and the waiter is lagging big time. That just gives us more time to enjoy our prosecco before ordering.
Charlie chooses the celery remoulade and the hanger steak, and I go for the bone marrow and the house ravioli (they’re mushroom!). We down a bottle of Cote du Rhone, and end things with an ile flottante and a crème caramel. We laugh through the meal as nearby couples eye our food and order accordingly — we barely even remember that the service was subpar. Cost: $162.09

Tuesday
Bota Bota
10:45 a.m.: We start the day at the Titanic café, around the corner from Hotel Gault. They don’t officially serve breakfast — the only offer one type of egg sandwich and coffee. We order two sandwiches, a latte and a macchiato. The sandwiches arrive with scrambled eggs, tomato, lettuce, ham and cheese. They’re delicious, and make up for the fact that my macchiato is actually a latte. Cost: $28.35 including tip (I’m shocked! That’s what happens when you don’t order from a menu.)
11:05 a.m.: Today we’re tackling Old Montreal. We walk through Place d'Armes, and pay to enter the Notre Dame Basilica. It’s worth it to stand beneath the basilica’s colorful interior for a few minutes. Cost: $4.86 each
1:30 p.m.: We conclude our self-guided walking tour at Olive et Gourmando, where we wait for around 30 minutes before being seated inside the bakery. The restaurant is known for its homemade bread and healthy salads. We go for two sandwiches — one Cajun chicken and one Cubain — a raspberry lemonade and an elixir iced tea. This place lives up to its reputation as the best bet for lunch in Montreal’s most touristy area. Cost: $39.39 including tip
2:45 p.m.: We’ve spent the last few days running around and eating — now it’s time to relax and sweat it out. We head to Bota Bota, a 1950s ferryboat that’s been converted into a spa docked on the St. Lawrence River. The boat stares directly at the Montreal skyline, so it’s easy to cycle between the spa’s saunas, steam rooms, hot and cold pools and hammock chairs for three hours. Cost: $102.45 for the “Water Circuit” for two
5:30 p.m.: We’re walking along the river’s industrial edge, and we’re dehydrated. We grab two seltzers from a vending machine. Cost: $3.24
7:45 p.m.: It’s time to head out for our last big meal, and it’s the one I’m most excited for. We grab two evening passes and take the metro to the Little Burgundy neighborhood. Cost: $8.10
8 p.m.: We head into Burgundy Lion for our pre-dinner drink. Charlie has two beers and I nurse a vodka soda. I need to be in prime condition to make the most of dinner! (And my stomach is still a mess.) Cost: $21.87 including tip
9 p.m.: We’re finally at Liverpool House, known for being the sister restaurant of famous next-door neighbor, Joe Beef, and for recently hosting Justin Trudeau and Barack Obama for dinner. Casual. Our table isn’t ready, so we order two beers while we wait.
At a table out back on the terrace, we decide on a couple of dishes to share. We start with the homemade rabbit sausage and a dish of morel mushrooms served with garlic bread, then move on to pork ribs with clams and the restaurant’s most famous dish — a creamy and rich lobster pasta. The waitress suggests a bottle of wine to match: we agree on a 2015 bottle of Magic of Ju-Ju. We’re too full for dessert, and to ever eat again. Cost: $204.40

Elspeth Velten
9:30 a.m.: Just kidding! A stay at one of Montreal’s best boutique hotels would be incomplete without a big old room service breakfast. We order two orders of eggs Benedict with ham, one latte and one regular coffee. Cost: $54.27
12:10 p.m.: We’re on the road, and we need to fill up before hitting the border. Cost: $44.01
3 p.m.: I’m back in the States, and I’ve lost all desire to pretend I don’t still have food poisoning. And what’s more soothing for an upset stomach than fake food? Yep, we finish off a trip of fine-dining at McDonald's. Cost: $15.00
6 p.m.: We fill up the tank one more time before arriving back in NYC. Cost: $33.50
Totals:
Accommodation: $424.00
Food & Drink: $968.60
Transport: $159.02
Miscellaneous: $133.05

I dont even remember high school that much but i do remember for 99% of it we werent even friends lol. It wasnt until u started buying twix ice cream bars from cvs or 711 when we started to even be cool. Then the whole criminal crew came about. And none of those friendships lasted, At least to you and i.
I dont remember why or how or exactly when but at some point i found u trustworthy enough to tell u things i didnt tell any one else. Not family or ppl ive known my whole life. Im glad that happened cuz i always know of i need to get anytjing off of my chest i can hit u up. We are 27 now and i bet in 30 yrs when we are 57 itll be the same way.
It saddens and pisses me off that you dont have anyone that gives u what u deserve. Including me. Youre literally the only female i know that i 100% trust. Youd think about my feelings and how id react. Youve never done me anything wrong. Youve never stolen from or lied to me. Youve encouraged me when im down. When my aunt died at 1am on 10/30/2010 i called u and u answered. That shit still means everything to me. Everything. When my himebiy died the following year you were there for me too. If i vent you listen and if i fuck up you tell me. Thats the best kind of friend a human csn ask for and i have that. Im so lucky yo.
If i had 3 wishes i swear i would use one so you would never feel sadness or cry again. Youve given others all of you and rarely get that back.
Im sorry i wasnt there for u in 2016. I was depressed and didnt even talk to my own mother. But knowing what you went thru, i csnt even be friwnds w aaron anymore. Im cordial with him but i cant kick it like we used to. Idl the full details nor do they matter. The fact you went thru that alone is heartbreaking for me to know and again khai im sorry as fuck.
I want you, this year, to find happiness and love and joy and peace and smiles and fun and all the shit u deserve. You go so hard for others and you suffer almost on a daily with your internal struggles. I want u to have a great time in 2018-19. Fuck that i want u to have a great life.
Idk if i ever told u this but when i had surgery in 2013 i woke up after it still drugged up, First thing i did was ask for u of all people. Why? Because just the thought of "khai" brings me comfort and peace. Knowing if im in an uncomfortable situation youd be there to encourage me or something. It was instinct. And that says all there needs to be said.
Never feel alone cuz im not physically around alot....basically never lol. But im always on your side and will always have your back.
Never feel useless cuz you have and continue to all these years later help me through the toughest shit ever.
I believe in god and im grateful he allowed us to meet. Im happy youre there for me and i promise i will be a netter friend over all to you. Im there for way more people that do and mean less to me than you do. Thats not right.
