“Good,” Lizzie stated when the girl decided not to argue with her any further. She felt a little guilty when it was clear that she’d caught the girl off guard and perhaps made her a little uncomfortable, that wasn’t her intention, she just had a tendency to be quite forward. “So you bake?” she asked, looking down at the boxes, “see that automatically makes you interesting because I am crap in the kitchen.”

“No don’t worry about it. You’re not bothering me.” Emma was being honest, mainly because well she really had nothing pressing to worry about right now and there would be absolutely no harm in helping out the seemingly nice woman. “I was just curious, because the truth is–I know of a lot of people that would definitely run away with a box of cupcakes.”

“Okay, you’re officially going in circles.” The blonde muttered to herself, she didn’t know where she was, or how she was going to get herself back to her hotel at this point so standing staring at street signs seemed like the best bet at this point. “Magnolia, you can do th…oh hi.” Magnolia beamed as she  looked back to the other woman, a warm smile appearing on her face. “I mean I have no muscle tone but sure, I can hold them here.” She offered out her hands for her to place the boxes on top, it wasn’t like she was going anywhere else. “Take your time honestly.” 

Lizzie shook her head at the other girl, “I insist, this is far too much to carry, plus you won’t be able to open your trunk when you get there.” She really hoped that the girl would agree to her help because it seemed foolish for her to struggle on her own. “Plus it’s slightly selfish because you are insanely pretty and you have a crazy amount of cupcakes so I need to find out more about you.”

out for a walk, to get fresh air, she had her hands in the pockets of her denim shorts and she was taking in the scenery of the town. she thought the area was quite cute and was glad to have chosen her as her vacation time. she just hoped her family wouldn’t find her here, a reason why she avoided posting her location. when somebody began talking, alexa turned to them before tilting her head. she wasn’t surprised when the other needed help and gave a nod before saying, “it’s not a bother at all. i wasn’t doing anything important anyway.” she then took a box away from her. “hope you don’t mind me asking, but why so many boxes in the first place?”

Lizzie smiled as the pretty girl walked up to her holding many different things. She was struggling and Lizzie was about to offer help before the girl beat her to it. “Of course,” she said, holding out her arms to take some of the things. “Where’s your car? I can help drop these off.” Lizzie did like to help people but she had to admit that she was also swayed by the girl’s smile.

Emma was never the most approachable person, so when someone saw her on the streets and came up to her, she was surprised but also curious to know why this individual had chosen her as opposed to some of the others who seemed to be wandering around. Still, she turned and listened to her words and figured there would be no real harm in helping her out and so she took the box in one hand and offered her other hand for a shopping bag. “I mean you could’ve set the bags down on that bench, but yeah I don’t mind.” She gave her what she hoped was a casual smile because really she didn’t mind the favour asked of her too much, it just surprised her how trusting people were still in a small town like this.

dinah tugged at a wayward hair from her ponytail spiraling with tales of wailing children and fourteen hour shifts. she squinted her eyes daring to see if at twenty-five she’d finally become a shriveled old maid and gray hairs had sprouted in place of her youth. a sigh of relief found her as only inky black hair washed over her finger. she gave a tired smile to the woman, wordlessly taking the package. “don’t worry, it’s not a big deal.”

milo was walking around holiday, phone in hand, playing wizards unite. it was a good way for him to get exercise, he thought, and also, he just really loved harry potter. he’d just stopped at a spot when a woman approached him, carrying multiple bags and cupcakes. “sure,” he said, taking the box of cupcakes from her. he also took another bag from her arms. “don’t worry about it. go ahead, i’ll wait here.”
