he stepped forward — removing the blindfold over her eyes. " are you hungry? thirsty? " he swallowed down, hating to see the female in distress. he didn't know her, only what his client had told him. charlie was calm as he took a step back, " i'm not going to hurt you. " not if she stayed put and didn't try anything with him. he wanted it to go smooth and just be done with it. // @lullcbies

“i’m still mad at you, you know.” flora says it, holding back a chuckle, getting ready to let out a lie. “my favorite chocolate and movie won’t change that.”

"europe was unreal — truly, i loved every part. but we're back in the city now." black painted nails run along the tanned, tattooed skin of his forearm as avery tries to avoid the other's gaze the best he can. "friend of mine's looking for a roommate. — maybe it's time we live our normal lives again."

it'd been an intense few days, a hit on caro's family having been rather quickly retaliated and the bloodshed had only spiraled from there. vance had listened to each update like it'd be the last thing he'd hear, ( almost ) sure that caro wasn't connected enough to be on the receiving end of his own family and yet with each casualty on both sides the blonde-haired male had become the only thing on his mind. it'd been easy to confirm where he'd last been seen, letting himself into the empty apartment with barely a trace of the usual confidence. hands tucked deep in jacket pockets as he paced the room, brown eyes searching for any evidence of the other male as the creak of the front door prompted him to turn back in it's direction. for a moment all he could do was stare, relief at the sight of the male countered almost instantly by the red falling from him. by the time he'd snapped out of it vance had already crossed the room, hands pulled from his pockets as if he'd be able to find the suspected wound and force it to stop bleeding. “ where are you hurt? ” he asked quickly, any greeting cast quickly aside as brown eyes searched for an obvious source of the blood. he was already prepared to get his phone out, to call for an ambulance if he had to if it meant ensuring caro would be alright.

“ where’s oma? “ she asked sonny who was sitting on the couch. isabella was oblivious to the conversation he had just had with omala. “ she just disappeared and she isn’t answering her phone. “ bella didn’t know if she saw sonny the same after she had seen him cheat, so her tone was still harsh when she spoke to him.

“i’m so afraid of saying something wrong, i’m in danger of saying nothing at all.”

despite how awkward it was, rafe wordlessly settled himself down beside them on the bench. he never really had been very good with emotions, other people’s or his own, but he hoped his being there might offer some comfort. “whatever has upset you probably isn’t worth it, you know.”
