No. I don't think he wants to. [ Beth shakes her head. ] Nothing he's ever said or done has given any indication he wants to be apart of this world. That's fine. Not everyone does or should be apart of it.

[ Her gaze drifts to the side then. Another small shake of her head. It's obvious that she and Alan are not one of those things that are meant to last. This Alan thinks otherwise, but, Beth has her doubts. It would track with the rest of her life anyways.

Besides, she's certain there's other people he'd rather surround himself with now. ]

Maybe. You'd have to ask him.

[ An eyebrow raises at his statement. Then again, it makes some sense. If he is the Alan Wake that hers based these books on? He never got to write a successful story after "The Sudden Stop." He was trapped on the other side of the Lake.

Beth moves to speak when the door bell rings through the house. She glances at him again before gently brushing past and making her way (hobbling) down the hall way to the front door. A few locks undone and then she opens it. ]

... Tim?

"Hey, Beth. I know it's sort of last minute. Thought I'd stop by and check out Alan's interview with the two of you. If you don't mind, that is. Probably better watching it with a friend. Right?"

I mean, I wasn't going to watch it. I'm sure Barry would of wanted Alan to...

"It'll give you something to talk with Rose about in the morning. Mind if I come in?"

[ Beth hesitates before looking down the hallway. ] Alan. Tim's here to see the interview.

[ Might as well keep up appearances. Right? ]
