Chronology : Post-Tap Dance
Background pairings : Roxie/Amos, Bernie/Liz (past)
Headcanon : Autistic!Amos
Amos' stress levels were through the roof. How was he supposed to get five thousand dollars on such short notice? Sure, he wasn't poor, but that was still a lot of money and very little time.
He bounced his hand up and down as he walked away from Roxie's stall, desperate to offset his anxiety in any way he could manage, but a small psst from one of the other stalls made him pause. He doubted the attention caller was meant for him, but he found himself looking over regardless.
There was another woman there, staring at him. Her hair was unkempt and there were thick bags under her eyes, but he supposed that was probably the norm in this place.
To his surprise, she actually gestured for him to walk over, which he (reluctantly) did. "You're that dumb blonde's husband, right?" she asked and he nodded, too confused to even process the insult towards his love. This made her chuckle. "I pity you" she told him. "She's not an easy one"
"I love her"
"Eh, no one's perfect" Liz shrugged. Bernie certainly wasn't. "But hey, don't blame yourself if you can't pull her out of this one"
"Thanks..."
"I'm here all day" Liz winked and Amos shifted uncomfortably. "Run along now"
He didn't need to be told twice.
