adam had just been at the aquarium because he had nowhere else to go. honestly, he'd been wandering around aimlessly. and with his luck, of course, he'd been there when it started snowing. he just hunkered down and sat there. and when he heard the voice on the speaker calling out, "sorry folks," he had tuned out the rest because, of fucking course he was stuck. he had wandered around the entire place before finding his way to what seemed like the actual party area, sitting down at the bar and grabbing the nearest bottle and pouring himself a drink. "i fucking hate snow storms."

robin and barney were what you might call reluctant friends. they met at the bars after working hours were over. though robin was almost always on call. news people never slept. it was how she lived. she could be on call for anything, she didn't mind it. but she didn't know what could happen. and she liked spending time with barney, even if she didn't know if everything about him didn't bother her. she finished the rest of her drink and motioned for a refill before sighing, "god i'm sick of sleeping alone." she didn't know why she said it out loud. let alone to barney of all people. but, as quick as her next drink was in front of her she took it and took a gulp.

danny felt like his words were always coming in shambles, tumbling down and falling in pieces. but he didn't know what was going on. especially when it came to sam. he didn't quite know how to say the words he wanted to around her. but he was always a bit nervous. even if he wasn't. "something always brings me back to you." he said with a nod of his head, as if he were talking to the comic he had laying on the counter in front of him. and not slightly talking about his best friend.

adam looked at katie with a raised eyebrow. he didn't know who she was. but it was a good enough question to know a lot of all the questions he had in his head. everything was a lot of things happening too. "were you sent by someone who wanted me dead?" adam deadpanned, shaking his head as he looked at her. "like maybe my brother?" he added after a minute, more as a joke than anything else.

maeve didn't know what she was doing. for the first time in her life ( afterlife? she still wasn't quite sure what it was ) she felt uncertain of just about everything. ever since she's been here she felt as though she'd been collecting evidence of some remarkable thing. but it was hard to think about whatever was coming their way. she didn't know what was going on. now, though, with spencer here? she was admittedly even more confused. what did this mean for her? for him? for her predictions and hypothesis? she was left with questions and everything else. "what if we don't sleep tonight." her voice felt like it might be trembling. maybe it was. fear creeping in as if she was afraid, so un-stoic, un-doctor like of her. she prided herself on being the kind of person to put everything else first. "we can say every single word." a pause, a breath. "even if it hurts." because, she didn't know how long it had been for spencer. but maeve just had to know everything. "but i want to know everything. i think we both do."

❝ so, please don't say i'm too much , ❞ tess held up a hand , as if she could read his mind. she knew she could be a lot , but sometimes she just felt like she was holding back for everyone else's sake.

❝ people ask me what it's like , knowing you , ❞ brandon said with a growing smirk. perhaps even here , stella's reputation proceeded her.

❝ don't forget to kiss me , ❞ troy leaned in with a smirk. ❝ or else you'll have to miss me ... ❞
