Murphy wouldn't be caught dead eating carbs, so her only purpose in walking into Cedar Grill was to use the restroom briskly before continuing getting her ten-thousand steps in for the day. The moment she waltzed back into the lobby, she overheard a male's mild threat, snorting at it. "If I die by a stapler, then I'll be even more pathetic than that threat. Relax, Liam Neeson, I was just using the bathroom."

He was quick to put the stapler down and a blush filled his cheeks. "Sorry. I didn't realize I left the door unlocked." He told her and moved closer so he could get a better look at who was in there. "The bathroom is just down the hallway there." Eddie pointed towards the location. "Let me get the lights." He hadn't turned the light on yet, so he moved quick to get there, tripping on a bar stool as he did. He caught himself before he continued and flipped the light switch. "There you go." @murphywindsor

"I promise it's not. If I didn't enjoy it, I don't think I'd do this job at all." Of course, most of the reason he had this job was to make ends meet and pay bills, but he definitely enjoyed it for the most part. "And you're sure there's nobody else—besides your mom—who would know what you're looking for?" He would feel a little bad if the other wasn't able to find it.

He nodded. "That's true. Though, I'm sure you have bad days where you're wondering why the hell you're in this job." He laughed. Lord knew he had those days at the restaurant, but he did truly love his job. Shrugging, he looked at Silas. "One of my siblings, I'm sure. Probably my older sister." He said with a shrug. "Here I thought I could be more sneaky by just doing it on my own. With your help, of course." @silas---rochester

Camryn wasn't sure what led her to the park so much these last weeks. She would have thought that moment of grief would lead her to the beach more, but perhaps it was the bright colours of green and those of the flowers that started to bloom that she was naturally drawn to it. In that instance however, her eyes were drawn to the ground in front of her, avoiding to step on the occasional slug that was migrating after last hour's rain. She had heard a faint calling, to which she looked up and attempted to look around for the source, but she was already pulled from her position by strong hands. The first thing she saw was by how a masculine hand grabbed the frisbee that had otherwise knocked her right on the head, then at the visage of a stunning. stunning man. Grieving or not, Camryn could appreciate a fine specimen. "No, I'm Camryn." she slowly spoke, dreamily almost, as she studied the curls in his hair, the colour of his eyes and the facial hair that was just right. "I mean. Yes I'm okay, Hi, I'm Camryn." She said shaking her head, letting out an awkward laugh. "Sorry, thank you, Wild reflexes." @eddiexcastro

A grin came over Eddie's face as the girl seemed to fumble a little with her words before correcting herself. "I'm glad you're okay, Camryn." Eddie said, taking a step back and keeping a smile on his face. "Thanks. I'm glad I caught it in time. Didn't want you to get hurt." He said honestly. "Those things seem to come out of nowhere." The man teased and looked her over. "You sure you're okay?" @camrynxlawson

"Sounds like a plan to me." Watching the other walk to the player, Silas hoped he had a little luck and picked the record on the first go. "Like one out of a million, but one can hope. If it just happens to be, we'd better go out and buy a lottery ticket." He laughed, continuing to pick through the records. "Pfft, my time? Infinite. It hasn't been busy today, so unless all of Kismet suddenly decides to run into the record shop, we're all good."

He laughed and nodded. "I'll make sure to tell you if that's the case, then." Eddie told him and kept listening. "Good. Still, tell me to get outta here if this gets to be too much." He didn't want to take up his whole day just looking for one album. The first one definitely wasn't it so he switched to another album. "Maybe I'm just grasping at straws here." @silas---rochester

"A good drink, huh? I can definitely do that." He said and started making what he knew Pinar usually got. "Yeah we can do either one. I can get us something here and we can slip it in. Maybe some putt-putt. I think I still gotta beat you from the last time we played." He said and passed her the drink. "No. I like this idea. Just give me a few and I'll be right out." He went to the back to finish up his shift and then came right out. "Alright. Ready to go?" @pinarxosman

A unplaned ordered had arrived to Villa Vitale, he was told this was no theirs and looked into the box and found a packing note that it was for Cedar Grill. It was box of nice fresh veggies but not what Cedar Grill had ordered or needed. So they asked Veni to drop off the box at the correct place, it was the honest thing to do.

It took him a moment for his eyes to adjust to the dim light of the restaurant and he saw Veni. Releasing a breath, he sighed and put the stapler down. "Sorry." He walked towards the man. "I could've sworn I closed the door, but I guess not." Eddie shook his head and taking a breath. "Okay. You said you had an order for us?" He asked and looked at the package in question. @venixvitale

"Okay, okay. I suppose I believe you," he said, grinning. When the other offered something in return, Silas shook his head. "How about we go out for a drink? I think I'd call that even." Though, he didn't actually expect anything in return. This was something he enjoyed doing, and it was apart of the job. "Yeah, back there behind the counter." He pointed towards the record player behind the till. "Go crazy. If anything rings a bell, just yell at me. I'll keep lookin'."

He nodded. "We can definitely do that, too." He agreed. Eddie's eyes went to behind the counter and to the record player. "Perfect." He walked over and put the first record on. "What's the chance that it's the first one?" He joked and let it play, knowing it wasn't it, but taking a moment to still enjoy the music. "I hope we find it soon. I don't wanna take up too much of your time." @silas---rochester

He took a breath and moved his head from side to side. "Kind of. It's really complicated. It was for my health, essentially." That was an easier way to put it. "So, basically forced, but I understood why I had to stop." And yet that didn't teach him anything when he had stopped taking his medication for a while and ended up receiving the consequences of that. He laughed a little bit and shook his head. "Come on. Pineapple is amazing and can go on a lot of things outside of a fruit tray." He told her. "It's not, actually. It has some Hawaiian Woodfire Marinade and sriracha mayo and guacamole as well." And just then, the timer dinged meaning he had to move on. "It was nice meeting you, Colbie. Come on by and I'll have you try the burger." @colbiebowen

"Dang. Well, you sure it isn't an Elvis song?" Silas shook his head. "Hey, now. Don't say that just yet. Who knows. We could get lucky and find exactly what you're looking for." He would do his best to help the man out. There was a lot of old music that was lost to time by now, but it didn't mean they couldn't at least try. "Let's." Beginning at the end of the section, Silas began flipping through the records, pulling out some that might be what the other was looking for. Even if it was a long shot, he really hoped he could help. "Alright, I've got these. You wanna take a look while I continue the hunt?"

He laughed and shrugged. "You know, I'm not a hundred perfect, but I swear it wasn't." Eddie told him, rubbing the back of his neck. "If we do, I owe you a free meal from Cedar Grill. Or a few meals." He laughed, but was also serious. He really wanted to do this for his mother and hoped he could find it. "Yeah." He said and looked through some of the options. "Mmm, none of this looks right." He said. "Is there a player I can listen to these on? Maybe listening will jog something." @silas---rochester

He laughed and shook his head. "So then we're really paired up then, huh?" Eddie looked over at her and rolled his eyes. "And who is fawning over me? You?" He asked her. Honestly, he was glad to have this break between the awkward dates he was having. Had he lost his game? Or was he really ready to move on from his ex? "Yeah? Same, though." He sighed and shrugged. "Trying to be. Not sure it's working. At least I'm putting myself out there, though, yeah?" @pinarxosman

"Right." Eddie said, a laugh coming from him. As the conversation went to him being in the Navy, he took a breath. "It was great, really. I loved it. I mean, I did miss home, but I wanted to do it. My brother was in the military and I wanted to be like him. I just had to give it up sooner than I wanted." He didn't know if he should go into his heart issues during speed dating so maybe keeping it vague would be enough for tonight. "You definitely should." He brightened up. "That's a louded question, but our summer menu is always my favorite. All the fruit options to add to stuff. There's a Hawaiian burger we do that is one of my favorite things." @colbiebowen

He nodded. "I understand how that feels. Sadly the word spreads around in a small town pretty fast. And we all like Connor, so at least it's positive." Eddie smiled over at him. "Yeah? That's a good thing, then." He smiled and took a breath. "Taos is so different from here. A lot of dessert." He laughed. "I was only there for a few years. I was in the Navy then when I got out, I went to school to be a chef then came home." He smiled. "I actually am the head chef here." He boosted a little bit. "What about you? What do you do?" @colbiebowen

"Yes, you." He said with a laugh before rolling his eyes. "You would too. Just to get a break from all these guys." He teased her, his eyes full of life, before shrugging. "Maybe. Maybe I was the one who needed the break." He said back before shaking his head. "Doubtful. When do I ever take things seriously?" Which was a joke because there was a lot that Eddie did take seriously. "So, how's it been? Find your future husband yet? Anyone I need to beat up?" @pinarxosman
