"They say the best day to have an anniversary is the day after valentines day, the leftover chocolate and roses are half price. Total cheap copout if you can afford the full price." Connie, however more than happy to spend money on her own partner, had also done a round two to collect up some of the last flowers left behind for Imani. "Spent it with my girlfriend. Yourself?"

That was not where Connie was expecting the unprompted conversation with the stranger to go, but she found herself quite impressed to hear those words coming out of a mans mouth. "Good. Kids watch their parents relationship and it often effects their future dating life and what their willing to accept from a partner, glad you're setting a good example."

Imani rested her hip against the door frame. "Yeah that sounds just right." She smiled and walked back to bed. "Okay get moving." She leaned down and kissed Connie. Imani ,in comparison to others ,was a rusher. The second she wanted to do something, she wanted to do it immediately. Her kyrptonite being slow walkers. "And I am getting a donut I don't care if I am getting chubby." She said as she ran out the door to the bathroom to start on her morning routine. "And then can we make a quick stop somewhere? I gotta pick up something for school from one of the dudes in my class." She yelled back over her shoulder.

"Chubby?" Connie flicks her gaze over towards Imani's small figure, a few donuts certainly wasn't going to be detrimental to the girls appearance. "I'd kill for your metabolism. Who's the one going for runs at 5am?" The comment is meant in jest, as Connie plants a kiss on her girlfriends cheek, but it was true that Connie often cursed her genetics. "Yeah, all good. I don't have to be in the office until nine."

Connie: I'd like to point out the obvious difference between sitting at a desk all day and fighting fires.

"I feel like I've still been trying to get caught up with everything from the holidays, so now that things are slowing down and feeling back to normal, I've been focusing a lot on work, spending time with friends, cooking more, shopping, organizing my home..." Emira told her, shrugging and still smiled. "It's also crazy to think that Axel and I have already been living here in Aurora Bay for two years now." @connievanderbilt

"Sounds like someone who has their life put together." A low chuckle is emitted from Connie's lips, "What's that like?" It certainly wasn't something a Lawyer would ever come to know. "What exactly are you guys? He doesn't peg me the Norman Rockwell picket fence kinda man."

Connie: Labour laws say take those 40 government given hours jesus christ. Connie: Don't know how you still operate working those hours.

"Aww, that sounds like really nice time with Imani, especially with not seeing your family or them seeing you," Emira said smiling and soon found herself smirking about the question about the love of her life. "Axel, has been doing just fine, thanks. He just won over yet another important client so we've been celebrating." In more ways than one, that's for sure. For right now, it was catch up time with one of her closest friends.

"Yeah, yeah." Connie's nickname sounded better. "Oh I bet." She knew damn well what Emira was implying. However it was too good of a day to let the topic of men monopolise the conversation of two women. "And what about you? What are you up to?"

"Well, that makes sense, I am a woman of few words. Most of them angry and bitter. Apparently, that's what he's into. Maybe I should be slightly more worried about that, huh?" Lemie lets out of a loud laugh at Connie's statement. "From what I've heard of Will 1.0, I might've sworn off men as well." Not that she had been much better at relationships just a short time ago. Honestly, she wasn't all that great at them still.

"Will's always been a sucker for pain." Connie emits a sound somewhere half way between a chuckle and a snort. "Old habits die hard with him, I guess."

Jameson didn’t really hide too much about his family. Half of Aurora Bay already knew about the Cassidy’s situation through gossip or just pure shit talking. They were the one spot of a town that looked so perfect that proved some bad people had once inhabited the city limits. Jameson couldn’t escape that if he tried, but what he could do was make sure his daughter didn’t have the same upbringing he did. He had to make sure her chance wasn’t taken away like his had been. “ She’s here. While I was locked up, she went to college back east. But she moved him when I got out. It’s sort of always been us and I don’t think that’ll change. “ he noted. “ I think it’s good she’s here cause Emma thinks the world of her. It’s like there’s a positive influence with the same last name as her. “ he noted before shaking his head. “ believe it or not it was me doing the raising when it came to my sister and I. It was like I almost had experience being a parent before I was one “ he noted with a small nod that while Emerson had the good head on her shoulders he was the older brother and had fallen into the parental role. @connievanderbilt

Connie knew what it felt like to be gossiped about, but the Cassidy's experience was on a different level. But regardless, Connie was a lawyer, she didn't rely on gossip for anything in life. The truth often diluted and changed over time to fit the narrative of whoever was spinning the tale. "Well, then I can imagine the perentification wasn't easy on you." Connie has a moment of silence, gaze pondering over the man for a moment. Despite being young and a little inexperienced in life that came with his age, the kid seemed relatively well adjusted despite his life circumstance. "Jameson. Your charge, what exactly happened?"

"Christmas wasn't too eventful for me; I just spent time with Axel and got caught up with more of my relatives in Turkey," Emira told her with a smile, very happy to be getting caught up with her best friend. "I agree, the holidays did pass by too fast. What about you? How were your holidays? I want to know everything."

"How's Billionaire-Ken going?" Connie wasn't exactly sure what Emira saw in Axel, but she kept those thoughts to herself. "I spent it with Imani. No interest in seeing my family, so it was nice and quiet."
