He barely turned off his truck when he parked at the complex and rushed from the its cab to head up to Teddy's place, heart hammering so hard by the time he got to the door he was sure it would explode right out of his chest. "Vally?" he asked almost meekly as he knocked. "Can we just talk? Please?" he begged the closed door.

The time change was always the hardest thing, leaving LA in the afternoon and landing late morning of the next day. Starting down the steps of the plane, her sunglasses didnt truly seemed needed with the over cast weather, but she left them on anyway. Her arrival outfit had been carefully chosen after all. "Don't worry about your bags besides what you'll need for the trip to the hotel." She reminded Val as they graded toward the limo waiting a short way on the tarmac. "I can't wait to shower."

"Miss Val! You look amazin', like you just stepped outta a magazine! Definitely a far better look than my old clothes." Through a smile and with hands full of trays going out, Birch gave a little blow to get a stray tendril fallen from her twist from out of her face, she set it down and turned to have a good look at her. "Oscar's a mighty lucky fella to be your date t'night, my goodness. I hope you're enjoyin' y'self while'n I got 'im busy? Promise ta get him to ya by dessert."

He shifted Ellie onto his shoulders as the three of them walked along the shore, holding her ankles with one hand and her back with the other. He was happy that Val was going to have herself a relaxing night with Oscar, he was, but the tinge of jealousy tugged at his chest. He wished more of her night could have been with them. Lately, he had a harder and harder time missing her. "So, camping, huh?" he asked playfully, smirking her way. "You sure ya can tough it ou' all nigh'?" he asked mostly rhetorically with jest, chuckling softly as he leaned into her gently.

"There you are, I was starting to think you were never going to get here." Of course the hired security had let him pass on sight, his name among the short list of those who could come and go from her space as they pleased. Instantly she was lips on his own, humming softly into them with a lean into his chest with her happiness at just the sight of him. "Have to get my kisses in while I can before Val gets here. I promised her we wouldn't third wheel her." And she really wanted the two of them to hit it off. "I missed you."

The drive from Poppy Court was short and he was there in no time, but right on time as he parked and headed up the steps and through the entrance. "Hi," he greeted the clerk at the counter. "Oscar Lockmoore for Valentina Vale please," he requested to have her buzzed down.
