There was an excitement that coursed through Clarissa’s entire body and it had been that way from the moment Ethan had told her he was coming to Crownsville. Out of everyone that had followed her to the small town in Georgia, he was the only one she was genuinely excited abou coming heret. How couldn’t she be? Ethan had been her rock for years - sometimes even more than Addison for the simple fact that they were so much alike. It had been a long time since Clarissa had been around someone who truly understood her. So it was no surprise that as the minutes ticked by, brining their reuinion closer and closer, Clarissa could hardly keep sit. The brunette was buzzing around her home, trying to get everything ready for his arrival. The kettle for tea, tea cups, making sure Teddy hadn’t finished all the beer in the fridge. Fig watched Rissa move around the house with a whine, unsettled by her frenzy but the whine quickly morphed into a bark when the door bell rang and the young retretiver shot towards the front door. Taking a deep breath, Clarissa ushered the excited dog back and opened the door, a bright grin on her face as it revelaed her childhood best friend. “Ethan!” She greeted warmly, closing the space between them and pulling the man into a warm embrace. // @ethan-huttinger
