"I can't believe I just went to smell this perfume like I have a sense of smell." Petra laughed. "You'd think I'd be used to not knowing what anything smells like since I've lived with it my whole life." @rededgerpstarterblog

Serena laughed. "Well, is there a bottle that you think might possibly smell good? I can confirm it for you if you want."

Text: Everyone

Serena: Awww, that is adorable though!

"Ugh, this place is beyond amazing." Elena smiled as she spun around to take in as much as she could. "I am honestly going to cry when we have to leave here." She laughed. @rededgerpstarterblog

Serena smiled. "You look like you're about to have a montage in Italy." She teased her. "Though I love how much fun you are having."

Lorelai was paying close attention to the directions that were given in the cooking class in Italy that her and her friend was taking. The dish was obviously homemade pasta. She looked over at her friend in the midst of making her dough "Hm? What did you say? I'm sorry I was concentrating really hard on how in the hell..." she asked her friend next to her. @rededgerpstarterblog

"I asked if you were having fun." Serena said with a smile and took a sip of her wine. "This is so much fun, and was an incredible idea!"

"Between having two work places, a kid and parties in town, I am indeed exhausted like you pointed out." Alexa said as she watched over the party, the masked people coming in as she leaned over the bar counter.

"Well that just means you need to let loose and enjoy whatever free time you have." Serena smiled at her.

"I've been better, I'm not gonna lie." He looked at her. "How was Milan and Paris? I'm sure you're jetlagged from all the flying." He chuckled.

"Well you know if you need to talk to me, or anyone, we're all here for you, right?" She asked. "Oh the jetlag was fucking horrible, but I'm glad we're in Italy."

"Hey, if you or anyone wants to tickets to any fashion show that I am in, please let me know." She said. "I'd love to fly you all out and it'd be fun having people from town with me while I was working."

Emersyn smiled at that, a little nostalgic herself. “Yeah, you can’t compete with memories. Even the prettiest places don’t hit the same if they don’t know your history.” She gave a small shrug at the mention of work. “The salon’s good. Busy, which I can’t complain about. It keeps me on my toes. I just have to remember to actually take breaks like this instead of pretending I don’t need them.”

"Hmm, that's very true, though being a model, does mean I've gotten to make some history in other countries, none as good as the history and stories I've made here though." She laughed. "Good, you deserve to take breaks and reset your body! Not everything has to be all work and no play."

Teddy raised his brow and laughed at her input " Hm... now I know my signature color. Thanks!" he laughed. He nodded " Yeah I know. Anytime I get her shoes, she gets excited. Her closet is filled with shoes and I can't remember where half of them go to fit in the new ones," he laughed. " But how ya doin? Anything new happening?" he asked her.

"What can I say? We look great in colors that are bold." Serena laughed. "You can never have too many shoes, and that is speaking from experience." She shrugged. "I'm doing really good and no, I'm just enjoying my downtime before I really have to leave Red Edge again for some sort of fashion week."

Emersyn let out a soft laugh and nodded, her gaze following the line of the pier for a moment. “Yeah, it’s hard to shake a place that knows you too well.” She looked back at Serena, expression warm and curious. “So what finally pulled you back this time. Nostalgia, unfinished business, or just the ocean calling your name again.”

"Maybe a mix of all three, though if I'm being honest, as much as I love European beaches, nothing will beat the beaches here that have so much nostalgia and great memories for me." Serena looked at Emersyn with a smile. "How have you been though? Business going great at your salon?"
