the more time that lottie spent with peter, the more she never wanted him to leave. not only was he helping distract from how much she missed her kids, he was helping her put her house together. (which, he definitely didn't have to do). she stood back, eyes on the shelf he was putting up. he had seemed to center it perfectly and she didn't mind being his second pair of eyes. on top of that, she didn't mind watching him work either. "it's perfect." she announced, a smile taking over her face as she moved closer to him and rubbed her hands over his shoulders from behind. "are you up for helping me finish painting my bedroom? i know painting is like completely lame but i'd say you have some pretty decent company." she teased, arms dropping down to wrap around his waist and her cheek resting against his back.

"dog, right, i'll make note of that." stassi smiles, glad that they could still get along at least - that they're not one of those exes that couldn't be in the same room together. "it looks good on you, i like it." and she means it, reaching out to tap his beard lightly as they moved toward the house. she steps through, wondering what it must look like to everyone else that they seemingly arrived together. hell even in divorce they were on the same timeline. "oh absolutely, i bet she kicked off her morning with mimosa's too." cara was just that kind of gal, a fun time that stassi always enjoyed. "so besides growing a beard and getting dragged around by dogs, what have you been up to?"

Sheltering from the drizzle under a small overhang the paramedic hugged her arms around herself and looked around. It was at the edge of the town and she didn't know the area well and shivering as she heard a distant church bells chime midnight she laid her head back against the wall and took several deep breaths as she tried to clear the panic from her mind and think logically. A sudden noise made her jump, "Is someone there?" @h3rtzoom

alec definitely should've known better. he never stayed in one place for too long. at least, not long enough to have an actual life. he'd get comfortable and get sent to his next assignment, usually to a hospital across the country from where he'd been but this job he'd taken continued to get extended over and over again. and well, he got comfortable and managed to catch feelings for the other despite knowing how hard it would be to maintain things when he went to nurse elsewhere. tears stung his eyes at he looked at the other, "i just don't see how this is going to work..."

As the door swung open, Dani stared at the man for a few seconds, looking down at his stained clothes which caused her brow to furrow. The music suddenly was even louder and it caused her to wince, but she also felt like she couldn't judge him given she was stood there in her pajamas.

At the response, Adriano paused and glanced down. Ruben had made a valid point; sometimes trying wasn't enough. He was just too dedicated to his work and it made him insufferable at times.

"oh, i'm aware." quincy rolls his eyes, though he didn't believe in all of the claims everyone was making, hold houses were still creepy. it was more likely that a pipe would break and flood all their shit than an actual haunting, but neither sounded ideal to him. as they answer, he looks them up and over, watching their body language as they speak of the place..."holy shit you're actually scared ain't ya?" he laughs, folding his arms over his chest with a satisfied nod. "wow, something finally scares good ole paige brooks, who would have thought you had enough of a heart to scare." he teases again, satisfied with that sting. but then flinches himself as someone moves upstairs, sending a loud creak and almost shiver across the whole cabin. "god yea, i need my toes in the sand, and a beer in my hand. tempted to ditch this altogether and book me a ticket to miami. or something." he huffs now, attention gathered back to paige. "oh no, not my speed dial. you don't answer your partner's calls? shame on you."
