Noelle knew her niece's birthday was coming up soon and she always liked to plan ahead when it came to gifts for her loved ones, so she made her way to Sea Glass to see if there was anything that might suit Liza.

"Everything seems to be for tourists here now." The blonde frowned as she spoke to the person next to her. "I suppose I'm in luck if I want a tie-dye Aurora Bay, established in 1940 shirt." She let out a little huff. "Not that anything's wrong with tourists!" She quickly added as she looked up at the man, just in case he turned out to be a tourist himself. "It's just that there used to be a lot more options here."

where: Liza and Sterling's house

With Elise being nearly three weeks old Wes and Liza were beginning to find more of a routine with their daughter, and with that routine Wes felt better about allowing people to come over and meet her.

There was something almost emotional about Wes inviting Finn over just to meet his daughter. Maybe it was the fact that Finn was someone Wes felt close enough to that he came to him when he first found out Liza was pregnant. And while it was almost sad for Wes to think that he didn't feel okay with coming to his own brother, he was grateful he had Finn. Finn had helped him calm down and have a clearer perspective on the situation, so it felt right for Finn to be one of the first to meet Elise.

"Thanks for coming. I, uh.. I just really wanted you to meet her."

If she were being completely honest, she definitely would’ve chosen a bar rather than Saltwater cafe to discuss Jake’s unrelenting stubbornness when it came to signing the damn divorce papers. But she’d be hella drunk at this point and anyway, that would be inappropriate, wouldn’t it? She felt too nervous for her own good, nervous enough that she had arrived at Saltwater an hour too early and was already ordering her third flat white, which was enough caffeine to make her want to vomit. But maybe that was the nerves. Or a combination of both - who knew anymore. 

The nerves weren’t only about Jake though (and potentially hearing things she definitely wasn’t ready to) but they were also about...well, Finn. In a way, she’d known him nearly all her life. She and Sofia were definitely a whole lot closer but Adrina had been privy to it all when it came to the Harrington’s thanks to her old friend. It was honestly a surprise Finn had even agreed to take on her case considering just how frail the line of communication was between he and his sister. 

“Here you go, flat white with caramel drizzle,” the barista called to her as he placed the cup down against the hand-off. “Oh! Yes!” Adrina turned abruptly, taking hold of the cup and bringing it right up to her lips as if the thing had legs and would run off any minute - or more like as if it were her only lifeline in her current situation. “Thank you! I know I said the other one was my last one but I swear this is the last one,” she laughed suddenly. The barista looked at her, blinked and gave her an offhand smile. Awkward. Anyway.

She turned on her heel and made her way to the table by the large picture window she’d claimed earlier, and took out her phone as she waited. Any minute, she thought; Finn would stroll in any minute and all she had to do was survive the conversation for what? Half an hour? And she’d be free.

  “Come on, run!”

  She came almost without warning, a Mirialan from behind the alley’s corner. Spotting the lone figure standing, clueless as to the happenings around them, the Jedi faltered for a moment, then dashed forward, grabbing his wrist and pulling him with her. From behind them, growls and ferocious barks signified exactly what she was running from.
