"Come on! Keep up!" he yelled at him with a chuckle, then looked ahead to see the small, hidden lake between the hills that opened up to his view. He guided his horse there and soon after their pace slowed down and it finally came to a full stop. "I want to take a swim now" he said as he dismounted the horse, then turned to Sterling. "Undress me."

After two days straight of travelling Tommy had never been happier to find himself in familiar streets closing the distance between himself and his little sister. He'd driven four hours then taken three different flights only to end up in an expensive Uber to end up on Cordelia's doorstep. He was long overdue for a shower and his bed, his jetlag already messing with him, but he couldn't do anything without collecting his keys from the blonde.

Maybe he could have planned ahead but he loved to surprise his little sis. This whole time he'd not looped anyone into the fact he'd finished up his season, alluding to another week or two still in Australia. So as he rattles his knuckles against her door he doesn't know if she's actually going to be home, it's only the sound of movement on the other side that has him opening his arms wife - waiting for the incoming family reunion.

   Alexis loved her job, she wouldn’t trade it for the world if she was honest, but that didn’t mean it was easy on her. Growing a strong connection with people was always nice until they unfortunately left this earthly plane to move on to what was ahead, and it wore on the red head at times. Though she had gotten more and more used to it, today was rough and after leaving work, Lexi made her way to On The Rocks, a moody bar she had grown fond of since she had moved into Crescent Peak. The Bartender she had grown a good relationship with was thankfully around and she smiled. “What can I get for you tonight, beauty queen?” Lex smiled and sighed gently. “It’s been a long day, i’ll take a Makers old fashioned on the rocks, please. Keep a tab open.” Nodding their head, Lexi gave them her card and the bartender took it before they went to log it into the system and began making her drink before she finally looked down at her phone all day.     Lex felt someone sit not too far away from her and she looked up to acknowledge their presence. “Hey.” She said politely before received her old fashioned and took a breath of relief. “Hey, put their first drink on my tab too.” She held up her drink in cheers as she took her first sip. 

   ​“Yeah, that’s the stuff.” Fiona smirked to herself as she organized the records in alphabetical order as it was this morning. Customers had the tendency of changing the order, throughout the day, and usually she would reorganize just before closing time, but the store had been a little slow and quite frankly, she was bored. When someone came in however, Fi smiled gently, internally groaning because she enjoyed the peace of light music playing in an empty record store... well, for the exception of herself and her manager in the back. Please don’t be an asshole. She thought to herself before smiling gently at the customer at the potential customer. “Hello, please let me know if you need assistance with anything.” Fi said lightly as she continued to organize the 1970′s Classic Rock section. People usually did their own thing in a record store, she knew that she did, and usually Fi wouldn’t say more than a hello if at all if the store was busy but seeing as it’s not, well she would put more effort into letting the new patron a welcome feeling. 

Where: Liv’s House

Liv was so happy that the twins were finally born. The last few weeks of the pregnancy had been miserable, but it was worth it because the babies were perfectly healthy and were able to come home when she did. As soon as she and the twins were settled, Liv had texted Sylvie and asked her to come over and was glad when she said she would. Looking up from her place on the couch when she heard the door open and smiled at the sight of Sylvie. “Hey! I’m so glad that you could come by,” she said, happy to see her. “They’re both awake, so you don’t have to be quiet.” The twins were in their bassinet beside the couch. 

Where: Hospital (November 28, 2022)

Liv wasn’t at all surprised that her birth plan hadn’t gone exactly the way she had wanted it to. She was originally scheduled for an induction today, but the twins came a full two days early while Anni was out of town so they had to be delivered by a different doctor. Besides that and baby having to be turned head down, it everything had gone smoothly and both babies were healthy. Liv was holding both newborn twins in her arms when Anni walked into the room. “Hey, how was your Thanksgiving trip?” She asked, a tired smile on her face. “I’m sorry these two were impatient and didn’t want to wait for you.”
