He was connected to machines and had an IV. Texting people like he wasn’t in the ER. At this point Evie and him are basically good friends. Telling the nurses that a blonde is visiting him. As soon as he saw her he gave a smile. “You made it.”

Gavin leaned back in his chair, drink in hand, swirling the amber liquid slowly as his eyes followed Evie across the room. The second she passed by, he lifted his glass slightly in her direction. “You know,” he said smoothly, “Whoever taught you to move like that deserves a thank-you card, because sweetheart, that ass should have its own warning label.” This was him flirting at a strip club, and him being friendly. He gave a small shrug, completely unbothered by his own boldness. “Just being honest. I respect art when I see it.”

He smirked, taking a slow sip. "How much for a lap dance?" He leaned forward slightly, resting his glass against his knee. Gavin was not in the slightest tipsy. "Although I do enjoy the way you swing on that pole."

Saffron needed a distraction. Her sister in Rome, Dad in Rome, Mom packing for Rome. At least her brother was still around the farm and back from rehab. And then Ryker went to rehab. At least she got her last text to say goodbye and that she loved him. Like a brother. Her scheduling a vacation was a blessing and it wasn't that far away now. She had to keep herself from falling again, keep herself distracted. When Evie had texted her, she said sure, why not. Go out and get some BBQ.

"Well howdy!" Birch offered the younger woman a bright smile as she unlocked the door to let her in, locking it back up behind her and motioning to the restaurant at large. All reclaimed wood, plaster, brick and mismatched vintage furniture accented in matching gingham fabric and live plants, get whole idea was for it to feel as much like a home as a place of business.

"There you are. Had me waiting so long, I had a shot without you." She teased a little to Evie as she came up to the bar to join her where two other shots were waiting. "I figure one now and one after, we can really make sure this party is started." Because really the champagne alone wasn't cutting it, but she liked the classiness of carrying the flute around so shots between would have to do.

Wyatt and Evie had been hanging out at the pier talking. Somehow, the conversation shifted about a guy who had gotten completely wasted the night before and ended up saying and doing things to her he probably shouldn’t have. Feeling the tap on his shoulder and Wyatt had lifted his head. "Is that the guy?...You want me to kick his ass for you?" Not that he would, his brother in law enforcement might literally kill him for being so stupid and bold. "That guy is a piece of shit. I mean look at the way he walks." Then looking back at Evie, "Does he still creep you out?" Tempted to do more commentary if it helped.

Evie wasn't exactly new and by now knew her way around Eden. Had a schedule and her regular sets. Something that Ryker was in charge of, all while running business. He had asked Evie to come in to his office prior to her shift, not that he pinged any of the girls for running a few minutes behind. His gaze went to her as she stepped in, "Close the door." This wasn't an intimidation or discipline, or anything of the sorts. Ryker just wanted to talk. Once she sat down, he put a glass of whiskey on his lips. Taking down a sip before putting it back down on his desk. "You had tears in your eyes last night, you want to tell me what's going on with that?" It was a simple question, just checking on her overall well being.
