Sofia often found herself at the park going through new routines that she would show to the girls at the academy. the music played inside of her head and her body flowed effortlessly with each movement. it was bittersweet in a sense that she missed being up on the stage, but she was instantly reminded why when pain surged through her knee in the midst of a turn, feeling her body collapse, ready to brace for the fall on the grass when arms caught her.

Her head turns to look up at the person. "thank you," her cheeks turn a rosy shade, quickly moving herself upright and out of their embrace, hand smoothing over her legs. "oh a scale of one to ten, how pathetic did i look?" she jokes. it may have been six years since her accident, but most days it felt like yesterday.

a walk in the park was the perfect way to wake herself up and shake off the hangover that had been plaguing taerin all morning. there was something about the fresh air, the sound of the birds chirping and the sun that seemed to make everything better.

airpods in and iced latte in hand, the blonde was in her own little world as she strolled amongst the trees, enjoying the serenity around her until she was caught off guard by the sight of an all too familiar figure falling flat on her face.

“oh, shit!” were the first words that escaped her lips before she hurried over. “please, i don’t think anyone else saw.” she attempted to reassure, purposefully ignoring the fact that a few of their nearby fellow park-goers had stopped what they were doing to gawk. “it happens to the best of us, don’t you worry.” a smile curved at her lips then, extending her hand for the other. “how did it even happen? all i caught was the tumble.”

it was a rare occurrence for constance to show up at nova tech — her dear little sister’s brainchild. usually when she wanted to see hanna, she’d simply make a phone call and organise a catch-up, but one this particular morning, she found herself in the vicinity of the company’s headquarters, and in a bid to kill time, she figured it wouldn’t hurt to stop by and say hello.

stepping inside the younger leung’s office, completely bypassing the personal assistant that sat behind a desk outside. she didn’t need permission to see her sister, no matter how much of a tech giant she’d become.

Scanning the bar quickly she spotted someone sitting alone and dropped onto the stool next to them. “I’m stuck here for at least an hour, and drinking alone is depressing. Mind if I join you?” She asked with a smile, the question a little moot due to the fact that she had already made herself comfortable.

veronica’s week had been STRESSFUL to say the least. if it wasn’t her career working her to the bone, it was her crumbling marriage that was grating at her. she needed an escape, a few hours to herself to collect her thoughts and deal with the newest obstacle that had found its way into her life.

the bastion was her first stop after work — it was discreet enough that people wouldn’t question her presence given who she was, people generally chose to mind their business in their establishment, and that was why she was sat at the bar, all on her lonesome, drinking a glass of scotch that she knew she shouldn’t be even be entertaining the idea of consuming.

her daze was broken when the sound of someone speaking to her hit her ears. it took a few seconds for her to process their question before she looked up at them, simply nodding her head. “sure. why not? i suppose someone else’s company would be a lot better than my own.” shrugging, she moved her purse from the barstool beside her for the stranger to sit down.

gesturing for the bartender to come over to them to take their order. “i’ll get another one of these, and whatever she’d like. you can put it on my tab.” at that, she turned to look at the other woman. “what’s your poison?”

kai always liked a little partying, would he have made the ball a little more carefree? probably but he also understood why the theme was more expensive in taste, per say. their line of work is always to be respected and thus, he respects the way the table decided to run the event.

during the ball he drank a glass or two, danced a bit and talking with various people, some he knew, others he didn't and yet he suddenly realized that he barely saw his dear cousin, the right side standing from her seat until it's to have a talk with someone, that has to change. "constance," he smiled, the kind of smile that hinted at mischief.

"i don't invite you to a dance i think i failed as your cousin." he offered his hand, waiting to either be rejected or accepted.

the night had been an utter success thus far, which as one of the gala’s hosts, was an undeniable feat. it was important to honour fracasso antonini, and despite her close friendship with francesca, constance wasn’t at all biased. she couldn’t be — her position at the table forbade such a thing, although, that didn’t mean it was the same case for everyone.

crystal glass in hand, the woman took a long sip of her drink, her dark eyes peering from the top of the champagne flute, closely examining every attendee as they passed her, her focus soon being interrupted by the sound of her dear cousin’s voice.

glancing up at the man with a raised brow, she chuckled at his words. “well, you’re certainly correct about that.” her tone was dead-pan yet laced with the faintest ounce of playfulness that only someone close to her would be capable of detecting. “i’ll gladly dance with you. i will take any excuse to get out of this seat.” at that, she graciously took kai’s hand before leading him onto the dance floor. “now tell me, how has your evening been so far?”
