⋆ ˙ ⟡ 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒓 & . accepting replies .
“ okay , okay — one more . watch this . ”
a small audience of children trails behind her like ducklings , placing entirely too much faith in a woman who hadn't attempted cartwheels in years . momentum carries her forward , hands meet earth , legs swing overhead . . . score ! she sticks the landing !
for a few precious minutes , summer forgets she's thirty - one years old . she forgets the paperwork waiting in her office , the calls she is yet to return , the complicated knot of grief , history and responsibility she carries like a second spine . all of it slips away under the afternoon sun and the chime of children's laughter . it feeds her soul in a way she cannot describe .
movement near the edge of the group catches her attention and poof . . . the spell breaks . blonde hair pushed from her face and straightens , speaking to the darling angels once more . “ alright , little olympians , that's enough showing off for one day . ” followed by a chorus of groans . “ i know , i know . you can keep practicing on your own . ” laughter lingers she nudges one child delicately toward the others before peeling away . only then does she make her way toward the other .
“ you didn't see me stack the first one , did you ? ”
a break from her office, away from screens and paperwork, was needed. bianca headed to the park but not without stopping for a refreshing summer slushie treat and a little something to munch on. as much as she loved being a business owner, appreciated the bar and the community it'd brought her, there was the fact that she were never fully off the clock when the business solely rested on her shoulders.
even as she found herself sat on the top of a picnic bench, her mind was on business. typically, it usually always had been that way. since she'd been a teen she'd been so driven by an entrepreneurial spirit that her family had no idea where it'd come from. some days she considered re-entry into the wellness and skincare world, where bianca had previously flopped, but running the bar was more than enough in the vein of keeping busy.
did she really need to add more onto her plate? especially when it was likely only her trying to fill voids?
earthy eyes watched as the blonde did a cartwheel and all the littles following her tried to emulate. it wasn't until the psychologist landed the move that bianca recognized her, and she figure this might be work. so she hadn't expected the younger woman would make her way over for a chat. though, there were no complaints when she had.
"even if i did . . . no i didn't." a smirk tugged at a corner of her mouth, eyes playful as she gazed up at the blonde. "i know your job is super mentally and emotionally draining at times, but these parts . . . " the brunette tipped her head toward the children still playing around. "make me a bit envious. i live for an unburdened carefree moment." a sip of her drink and b gestured to the spot beside her. "how long has it been since you've done cartwheels?" the grin resting in her expression should say it all.
* ╰ 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑 graham + cash ( @westernadrift ) › 𝑠𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 : sports bar.
he liked this part — the easy camaraderie of it , the way things could still feel normal in pockets of the world. you'd think he'd be bitter , and sure , some of it lingered , but he didn't have it in him to take that out on cash. not on a kid like this. the future of the lone stars , bright eyed and still unshaped by the weight of expectation graham knew too well. he leaned back in his seat , nodding toward the tv over the roar of the sports bar. " you payin’ attention ? " graham asked , pointing lazily at the screen. " or are those onion rings doin’ too much of the heavy lifting for you ? "
"yes and no," he answer with a sly grin creeping onto his expression slowly yet with natural ease in current company. "soccer's never been much my sport so it's not a huge deal who wins and who doesn't for me." broad shoulders shifted in and out of a shrug, his dark gaze flickered up to the screens again to track the various games on display as his fingers dropped an onion ring drenched in spicy ranch into his mouth. "they're fuckin' babies. i can't stand the way they flop around," the right wing had tacked on as he chewed with his mouth full. a glance at graham, cash wondered what was going on in his head. he sipped his beer and was grateful for the break from the pressures pushing down on him in life for a while. "who you rootin' for?"
★ ˖ ⊹ 𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑛 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑟. ↳ 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 … summer camp tree house village.
volunteer work often came with a caveat : sooner or later , somebody had to do the hard labor. today it came in the form of a pipe that gave out with a deafening crack. “ ah , shit ! ” water exploded across the room in a violent spray , drenching everything within reach. rust was already moving before the echo had faded , clawing his overshirt over his head and throwing it against the torrent in a futile attempt to keep the worst of it from blasting them in the face. beneath it , a faded black t-shirt clung to the broad frame of a man built by work that left scars instead of pay raises.
“ son of a bitch ... ” he planted his boots against the slick concrete and wrestled the bucking pipe into place with both hands , muscles in his forearms standing out under the strain. water streamed down his face and dripped from the end of his nose while he glanced over his shoulder. " grab that wrench ! " he called , jerking his chin toward the open toolbox. “ the big one , not the little damn thing. c'mon , kid , hustle. ” once they were close enough , his voice dropped into something calmer , the kind of steady that came from years spent talking people through panic. " alright , i'm gonna hold her right here and walk you through it. don't fight the pipe , work with it. nice and slow. you ready ? "
the only reason she'd had for being there was a gab session with her friend while said friend's little ones played about. it certainly wasn't to gawk at men doing manly things the second some trouble burst onto them. yet an earthy gaze tracked the tall, broad fire chief's movements like poetry in motion as he ripped off his shirt and grunted as he muscled a busted pipe. in fact, that had somehow drawn her closer to a scene she'd had no intention of aiding in until she was given steady direction. "hey, don't call me kid . . ." especially not when she'd been looking at him like that. bianca grabbed the correct BIG wrench and handed it off, then moved closer because she somehow knew she'd be roped in even further now. though, she didn't exactly mind him talking her through it.
"i mean," a laugh, "i usually never do. fight the pipe, that is." despite the chaos a little smirk quirked at the corner of her mouth, her dark eyes falling onto bulging muscled shoulders. "work with it, nice and slow . . . yep, that's usually the best way." asking if she was ready, though, and her hands on an actual pipe and them not talking about laying pipe b's brain quickly switched gears. even if she had to physically shake her head to get it out of the gutter it fallen and had a hard time getting up from. "alright, go on, chiefy . . . what's next?"
hell yea

ADRIA ARJONA by Irinel de León (March 2026)
⋆ ⭒˚。 [ adria arjona, cis woman, she/her. ] was that BIANCA RUANO MALAVE i just saw over at MOONLIGHT DRIVE IN ? you know, the THIRTY-THREE year old OWNER OF ANGEL'S ( a bar ) that’s been around willow glen for 33 YEARS. people around town say they can somehow both be REACTIONARY and INGENUITIVE, but if you were to ask them, they’d probably say they’re more like SOMETHING WILD TRYING TO SET ITSELF FREE, THAT RELENTLESS ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT, A MESS OF WAVY CURLS AND PLAYFUL GRINS, ALWAYS GAME FOR A GAMBLE, AND BEING WELL VERSED IN THE GRIND. the town sure has been rumbling about them lately, apparently they BURNT DOWN THEIR HOUSE AFTER DISCOVERING HER ( NOW EX ) HUSBAND CHEATED ON HER . . . but who knows if that’s true, i guess i’ll just have to stop by REDBUD MANOR and find out !
"don't you ever wish we had like a time machine and could slow things down a bit? i feel like all i ever do is go, go, go and i'm just like i need a time to just stop for a minute." she knew most people felt like that, but there were others that thrived on the chaos. his comment caused her to raise her brow, glancing back over at him. "oh yeah? like what?" her eyes closed for a moment, basking in the sun shining on her face. "we should have but i think we should order some now. i could go for something like super greasy and not good for me." the blonde leaned up, crossing her legs in the chair. "stella keeps asking about her father and i have no clue what to tell her. i mean she's five so she won't really understand the complexity that was our relationship but i also don't want to lie to her either." she shakes her head. " the more i avoid the question, the more she asks. what do i do?"
for a moment cash considered a time machine and the ability to either travel through it or manipulate the passing of time. "so you didn't learn anything from back to the future?" a smirk hooked the corner of his mouth as he briefly glanced over to see kenz enjoying the glow of the sun. "well, taking a long drive for one . . ." despite his passion for the sport of hockey and how talented of an athlete he was, nothing could replace the feeling being behind the wheel for cash. reaching for his phone on the little table he pulled up an app to order some food. "you want mexican or some burgers and fries? maybe a pizza with extra pep?" as it would come to no one's surprise cash could and would eat just about anything. he listened and let his phone rest on his leg while the blonde explained her situation, what she was trying to work through. "be honest with her," the right wing shrugged a shoulder, "kids are much more perceptive than we realize. tell her it's complicated. is she asking to see him or why he's not around? is it something specific?"
★ ˖ ⊹ 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑣𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑟. bonnie's apartment. ↳ 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 … @westernadrift
in bonnie's world , everything felt a little softer than it actually was. the apartment smelled faintly of vanilla and eucalyptus and the television in the background was playing a movie neither of them was paying attention to. she sat cross legged on the couch in a faded vintage lone stars tee that had seen better days and a pair of black leggings , her hair twisted into a lopsided messy bun. cash , meanwhile , had somehow allowed himself to become her latest victim.
" stop moving , " she scolded , one hand cupping his jaw while the other carefully spread another stripe of cool green mask across his cheek. “ this is supposed to even your skin tone and smooth out the texture , but it's also supposed to relax you. if you keep making faces , you're gonna wrinkle prematurely and then i'm gonna look like a bad friend. ” she was entirely too close , inspecting his face with the intensity of someone restoring a renaissance painting. " honestly ? your pores are already kind of amazing. it's almost annoying. "
another dab across his forehead. “ do you know how much money women spend trying to look like this ? thousands. actual thousands. and you just ... wake up looking like you moisturize with mountain spring water and positive affirmations. ” she leaned back just enough to admire her work before nodding to herself. “ there. don't smile. don't laugh. don't itch your nose. don't even think too hard. just marinate. ” bonnie reached over to the coffee table and grabbed a bowl of popcorn , popping a handful into her mouth before offering it toward him with complete sincerity. “ open. i'll feed you. ”
despite bonnie's scolding demand cash shifted again. like a chicken, head still but body moving, trying to get comfortable under the hands of the woman holding him in place. literally. "it feels weird," the right wing protested, though like a complaining smothered cat he made no moves to get away, "having goop smeared and spread all over my face. also . . . smells fuckin' weird, bonner. you sure this is actually safe?" there was a high chance he'd give himself a headache moving his eyes around in uncomfortable vantage points trying to witness what he was enduring throughout this facial treatment. "you know what? i don't remember actually agreeing to this . . ." had she given him a choice or an order? cash never put up much of a fight when it came to a woman bossing him around.
"i can't believe my face is uneven in tone and texture," the sometimes wheelman huffed, tone slightly too whiny for the man who spent nights busting other men on ice. the distant sounds of the television caught his attention and cash tried to fix a gaze on it as a way to distract himself with how close the pr manager was getting. "are you trying to crawl into my skin?" at that point amusement forced him to break the orders and turn his head slightly toward the raven haired woman whose couch he took up a lot of space on. the gleam in his eyes matched the smirk that hooked a corner of his mouth. "is that what you're actually prepping me for? it puts the lotion on it's skin. are you gonna wear me, buffalo bonner?" the praise that came his way only lifted his brow, as though it were proving his point.
considering the nights he'd spent on her couch over the course of the three years he'd been living in willow glen and the friendship that had forged with her efforts his smirk stayed in place as bonnie ranted. "oh, i only wash my face with miracle spring water. it's been blessed by priests," he joked. "positive affirmations work, by the way." the thing was, he was sure if he confirmed that he pretty much just washed with a bar of soap that she would have a crashout. decidedly he kept it at humor rather than truth. when she was seemingly done, cash leaned his head back at her orders to essentially not even breathe and let it rest against the back of the couch. "i feel like a roman king or something right now." he opened his mouth for her to drop popcorn into it, accepting the lack of grapes. "are you gonna let me pay for whatever dinner we're ordering in?"
beau barked out a laugh , shaking his head as he flicked ash onto the pavement. " hell , maybe you're onto somethin' . misery loves company and sharon's got enough of it to host sunday supper. " the corner of his mouth tugged upward. “ if my husband was out there chasin' girls young enough to ask for a student discount , i'd probably be mad at the world too. ” he took another drag before pointing the cigarette vaguely in cash's direction. " figured a dallas lone stars boy would've been above small town gossip. y'all spend all day chirpin' each other on the ice and still got enough left in the tank for sharon's business ? " he grinned. " don't worry , i ain't judgin'. "
a grin touched his lips as beau burst out with a laugh. his eyes caught the ash floating to the pavement as his arms were crossing against his chest, stance widening in a manner that all said he was staying a while. "whattaya think it'll take for me to get an invite to that," a sunday supper with sharon, "not even for being nosy, i just think if someone gives her the room to rant?" brow rising for emphasis and his eyes widening, the broadening of his grin conveyed he'd end up with the best seat in the house. "can you imagine all the shit she has on everyone in town?" though, that made cash pause, but only for a moment. there was no way the right wing had even touched her radar. "nah," his curly head shook, "this is your fault. you got me invested." interested. only because he knew exactly what it was like to share a space with someone that fucked you over and your love for them kept you trapped. "that's exactly what someone says when they're judgin'." on the verge of asking if beau really thought the team really chattered all day on the ice, his attention was sidelined by watching sharon's husband.

❛ ⅋ 𝐢. 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 ( 0 / 5 ) ━ setting description : market square, floral arranging.
vivienne stood before the overflowing buckets of peonies , ranunculus , and garden roses with the quiet confidence of someone who believed flowers were less an art and more a language. gloved fingers turned a stem ever so slightly before setting it back with a faintly dissatisfied hum , her wide-brimmed hat casting a soft shadow across her expression . . .
“ everyone always reaches for the prettiest bloom first , ” she remarked to the person beside her without looking up. “ it’s why so many arrangements end up looking terribly lonely. ” only then did she pluck an unassuming sprig of greenery from the table and tuck it into her basket. “ the secret has never been the flower , darling. it’s knowing what deserves to stand beside it. ” she glanced sideways at them , lips curving into the slightest smile. “ tell me , are you making this bouquet for yourself , or trying to impress someone who probably doesn’t deserve the effort ? "
in no way would cash ever be considered a flower expert, or even how to arrange them in a way that was beautiful enough to proudly display that someone was worth the vased sentiment. but he was drawn to unique, often bright, colors and generally got caught up by uncommon blooms. that was how he'd ventured near the flower arrangements, and how he got noticed placing some things together. seeing what worked and what didn't in what would be a very tightly shared space should the arrangement actually become a thing.
"wouldn't you say that's fairly subjective?" a glance at the older woman nearby, countering her comment with an ease. every part of him tired after a strenuous workout. "prettiest," he tacked on in case she hadn't tracked his oppose. "well, that is the problem, isn't it? figuring out which compliment each other best when tossing them all into a glass of water." thoughtfully, the right wing's gaze dropped to his very few selections then his shoulders shifted with a shrug. "personally, i think the most unique should be the standout, the centerpiece. that green stuff you put around it is meant to make it shine." which was an argument that supportive cast was always needed. "nah," the curls atop his head shook, "if this becomes anything it's just going on my table or in a window or something." then, after a beat, angling slightly toward the brunette, "i feel like you're making yours for yourself, yeah?"
★ ˖ ⊹ 𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑛 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑟. ↳ 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 … lake henry bonfire.
“ yeah , well , i don't give a damn what sharon thinks. woman's got enough trouble keepin' her own porch swept. hell , if she spent half as much time watchin' her husband as she does everybody else's business , she might know where he's disappearin' to after dark. ” he took a slow drag from his cigarette , blowing the smoke off to the side before a crooked grin settled on his face. " but that ain't my gossip to spread ... and you sure as hell didn't hear it from me. "
truth be told cash wasn't entirely sure how he'd wound up apart of this conversation. not that he was complaining. he was human after all and a little gossip was hard to resist bending an ear to. "hey, some would say i'm one of the best secret keepers around." hands held in mild surrender, his own half cocked grin sitting pretty on his lips. some aka him. "i read somewhere that it's human nature to gossip," yes, to many's surprise he did read, "there's psychological benefits or whatever to it." broad, muscled shoulders shifted in and out of a shrug. "but . . . you think that's why she does it, though?" side eying beau for a moment, trying to gauge if the smoker was following him. "she's unhappy and on everyone's ass because her old man is out there chasing tail nearly every damn night." it was pretty sad actually.
open starter: some random pool somewhere
mackenzie would never say no to a day at the pool. she felt like she could have been a mermaid in a previous life, with how much she enjoyed being in water. she had already taken a dip when she found herself a lawn chair and moved to lay down. it was hot enough to where she'd probably get a tan, but not hot enough to really be too much. glancing over at her friend, she gave a small smile. "this was the best idea we could have come up with. nothing better than laying in the sun, am i right? how have you been? i feel like it's been a minute since i've seen you."
"i'm pretty busy most days." the comment was casual, off-hand, it'd come with a glance at the blonde lounging on the chaise next to his. "i can think of a few things that are better than catching too many sun rays, though," he'd tacked on with a glimmer of mischief and amusement in his tone. the great thing about the townhome community he resided within was the amenities that'd come along with purchase, and some days he figured he might as well get his money's worth. "we should've ordered some food," cash then commented, or more so mumbled. a squint was cast out across the glistening water, a debate dueling behind his gaze. "i'm alright." rather than physically shrug, it was somehow heard in the eventual response because he always was. always had to be. "we're here to talk you things though, so . . . fill me in."
⋆ ⭒˚。 [ belmont cameli, cis man, he/him. ] was that CASH VALENTINE i just saw over at THE HIDEAWAY ? you know, the TWENTY-EIGHT year old DALLAS LONE STARS RIGHT WING that’s been around willow glen for THREE YEARS. people around town say they can somehow both be STOIC and DARING, but if you were to ask them, they’d probably say they’re more like THE RUSH FOLLOWING AN ADRENALINE HIGH, CROOKED SMILES AND LYING EYES, THAT SMELL AND ELECTRICITY BEFORE A STORM, A VOICE HUMID LIKE THE DEEP SOUTH, AND GREASE STAINED FINGERPRINTS ON DISCARDED CIGARETTES. the town sure has been rumbling about them lately, apparently they USED TO BOOST CARS AND STREET RACE . . . but who knows if that’s true, i guess i’ll just have to stop by WILLOW COMMONS and find out !
