if you glanced over you’d see tara’s eyes closed, and that she had most definitely fallen asleep mid conversation. that she had stopped talking and had doozed off. the hand resting against falls flat onto the table making sound which jolts her awake. “ what was that ? i’m listening.”

“ any places around here i should check out ? “ wren inquires, wanting to learn more about the place she had felt the urge to visit. “ or you know pay a visit to, for someone new to town like me ? “

OLIVIA feels like an outsider looking in, much like she had back in norway -- off to the side, people watching and wondering if she should mingle, get to know others. at the sound of the voice she almost jumps out of her skin. “ i’m sorry.. what was that ? “ she inquires, it’s met with an apologetic smile to match her words.

“ apparently my whole life has been a lie.” the table shakes slightly at ellie’s words, although one might think she from underneath the table kicked it. but it was her pent up frustration. what was the worst part ? the call with her mom who hadn’t confirmed nor denied it ? just told her not to worry about it. if it was true it meant she was hiding a part of herself-something she didn’t even know how to feel about. “ so yeah, that’s how my week has been. just peachy, so how are you ? “

“ too many options.” olivia glances at everything unsure, how she felt about all the choices. everything was confusing enough without so many choices too. a soft sigh falls from her lips. “ what do you think i should get ? please, please. help me.“

“ i learned how to make popcorn ! “ does olivia sound overly happy about something so simple ? absolutely and not ashamed in the slightest. as the wide smile on her features reveals. the first time ? she had burnt it and this time ? it went well.“ we won’t talk about the first time i made it. but this time i did it.”

“ it probably means i need a dress..” olivia hardly knew anything about dresses, or even where to start. “ i wouldn’t even know where to begin.. i don’t know anything about fancy dresses.”
