Eddie was at Cedar Grill a little early and was working on some menus in the office. He had added a few thing to the summer menu and wanted to get them out before the menus went to get lamented. He was about to finish up when he heard something in the restaurant. He thought he was the only one there and now was questioning if he left the door unlocked. Grabbing a stapler, he walked out of the office slowly and looked around. "Hello?" He called out and he heard a footstep. "I have a stapler and I'm not afraid to use it!"
"I can understand that." Colbie nodded, letting her gaze meet the other's. "Both missing home but also wanting to follow in your brother's footsteps." She herself had considered following in her father's footsteps and joining the military, or even following her brother's footsteps and joining the fire academy. And she guess in a way she'd connected to both; she just served her current city in a different way at the dispatch center. She was sure someone somewhere would consider it practically the same thing though. "Oh, you said had to?" she paused. "I won't pry, but, it sounds like it wasn't a decision you made out of want but more a forced thing?" she added, letting that be the end of that conversation if the other didn't want to continue this conversation. When he then, said that her question was a loaded one, but mentioned a Hawaiian burger she felt her eyes widen. "Okay, but I think I'm the only person that I've ever met that will almost swear that pineapple really does go on everything, pizza included." she nodded. "Is your Hawaiian burger a teriyaki burger or no?" @eddiexcastro
He took a breath and moved his head from side to side. "Kind of. It's really complicated. It was for my health, essentially." That was an easier way to put it. "So, basically forced, but I understood why I had to stop." And yet that didn't teach him anything when he had stopped taking his medication for a while and ended up receiving the consequences of that. He laughed a little bit and shook his head. "Come on. Pineapple is amazing and can go on a lot of things outside of a fruit tray." He told her. "It's not, actually. It has some Hawaiian Woodfire Marinade and sriracha mayo and guacamole as well." And just then, the timer dinged meaning he had to move on. "It was nice meeting you, Colbie. Come on by and I'll have you try the burger." @colbiebowen

Eddie was jogging through the park and noticed he wasn't the only one enjoying the nice day. People were out jogging like he was, having picnics, and playing games in the grass. It almost felt like the whole town was out thee and he smiled as he moved through the people and listened to his music. He was watching as someone threw a frisbee, but a gust of wind came through and moved the disc off course. It was heading towards a girl and she didn't seem to notice. "Hey, look out!" He called, but moved towards her to try to intervene. He took her by the waist, moving her out of the way, and grabbed the frisbee right as she was free. He threw it back to the owners before looking at the girl, moving his hand back from her. "Sorry. You okay?" He asked and took out his earbuds. @camrynxlawson
"Dang. Well, you sure it isn't an Elvis song?" Silas shook his head. "Hey, now. Don't say that just yet. Who knows. We could get lucky and find exactly what you're looking for." He would do his best to help the man out. There was a lot of old music that was lost to time by now, but it didn't mean they couldn't at least try. "Let's." Beginning at the end of the section, Silas began flipping through the records, pulling out some that might be what the other was looking for. Even if it was a long shot, he really hoped he could help. "Alright, I've got these. You wanna take a look while I continue the hunt?"
He laughed and shrugged. "You know, I'm not a hundred perfect, but I swear it wasn't." Eddie told him, rubbing the back of his neck. "If we do, I owe you a free meal from Cedar Grill. Or a few meals." He laughed, but was also serious. He really wanted to do this for his mother and hoped he could find it. "Yeah." He said and looked through some of the options. "Mmm, none of this looks right." He said. "Is there a player I can listen to these on? Maybe listening will jog something." @silas---rochester
"Honestly, that would have been the smart thing to do." She tapped a finger to her temple, "I can't believe I didn't think about doing that." She teased, watching him as he teased her. "Oh, yes, of course you'd need a break from all these women fawning over you." Pinar teased, sticking her tongue out at him in a playful manner. "Ha, please," she rolled her eyes in Eddie's direction. "That tells me that you are absolutely taking this serious." She shook her head to his question, "No, I haven't. No one's really piqued my interest enough." She folded her hands on the table, "And you? Ready to move on?" @eddiexcastro
He laughed and shook his head. "So then we're really paired up then, huh?" Eddie looked over at her and rolled his eyes. "And who is fawning over me? You?" He asked her. Honestly, he was glad to have this break between the awkward dates he was having. Had he lost his game? Or was he really ready to move on from his ex? "Yeah? Same, though." He sighed and shrugged. "Trying to be. Not sure it's working. At least I'm putting myself out there, though, yeah?" @pinarxosman
When the other stated that they all liked Connor, Colbie felt her smile widen. "That is a good thing but I already assumed." she admitted. One of the many things about being Connor's younger sister was that he was easily adored. She couldn't argue, she also adored him; there were parts of him that even reminded her of their father which had always warmed her heart. "Oh I can imagine." she nodded. I don't know much about the place myself, but, I can imagine any sort of desert city was quite different in comparison to the coastal one they lived in. "The Navy though?" she questioned. "How was that experience? Enough to make you realize you missed home?" she paused, smiling a little when he admitted that he moved back home after. "Well, I'll have to come by here sometime that's not for a speed dating event." she smiled. "What's your favorite dish on the menu?" @eddiexcastro
"Right." Eddie said, a laugh coming from him. As the conversation went to him being in the Navy, he took a breath. "It was great, really. I loved it. I mean, I did miss home, but I wanted to do it. My brother was in the military and I wanted to be like him. I just had to give it up sooner than I wanted." He didn't know if he should go into his heart issues during speed dating so maybe keeping it vague would be enough for tonight. "You definitely should." He brightened up. "That's a louded question, but our summer menu is always my favorite. All the fruit options to add to stuff. There's a Hawaiian burger we do that is one of my favorite things." @colbiebowen
"I can't say I mind." Colbie stated. "At least it's Connor and not someone that I don't want to be associated with, but, I somehow wasn't expecting it." she laughed. Which was funny to think about in itself; Connor had made an impression in this town with his career, it only made sense for people to know him. At the other's question though, Colbie smiled. "I am." she smiled. "It's charming; reminds me a lot of Savannah in it's own way." she admitted. "Tell me about New Mexico, or yourself, whichever you prefer to talk about." @eddiexcastro
He nodded. "I understand how that feels. Sadly the word spreads around in a small town pretty fast. And we all like Connor, so at least it's positive." Eddie smiled over at him. "Yeah? That's a good thing, then." He smiled and took a breath. "Taos is so different from here. A lot of dessert." He laughed. "I was only there for a few years. I was in the Navy then when I got out, I went to school to be a chef then came home." He smiled. "I actually am the head chef here." He boosted a little bit. "What about you? What do you do?" @colbiebowen
When Eddie sat down across from her, she let out a laugh. "What? Me?" She placed a hand over her chest, as if she found it offensive that he could ever suggest such a thing. "I would not ever do such a thing and I can't believe you'd think that. Which leads me to ask, did you set this up, hm?" Her brow raised curiously in his direction. "It's clear neither of us are going to take this very seriously for the next ten minutes, huh?" @eddiexcastro
"Yes, you." He said with a laugh before rolling his eyes. "You would too. Just to get a break from all these guys." He teased her, his eyes full of life, before shrugging. "Maybe. Maybe I was the one who needed the break." He said back before shaking his head. "Doubtful. When do I ever take things seriously?" Which was a joke because there was a lot that Eddie did take seriously. "So, how's it been? Find your future husband yet? Anyone I need to beat up?" @pinarxosman
"Some day it is." He grinned. "And hey, I can cater so make sure to put that somewhere." Eddie offered up. He always liked doing events like that: weddings, birthdays, backyard barbecues. He loved cooking for people he knew and even ones he didn't. He just really liked making people happy through food. "I haven't been seeing anyone, but yeah. I did sign up for that." He took a breath. "I'm not sure if I'm ready, but gotta get back out there." @omarxmorrison
"I get that," he nodded his head. "It can be hard to take the first step but you did that so that has to count for something. Even if for some reason you go and bail on it." He told Eddie, "I think just the act of signing up is going to mean more to you in the long run than if you go through with it or not, you know? You made a conscious decision. Plus," he grinned at the man, giving him a clap on the shoulder. "Anyone who lands you for speed dating is landing a catch." @eddiexcastro
END.
Colbie offered the other a smile as he greeted her by name, causing her to blush the more the talked. She'd been there a few times; rambling to the point you just sounded ridiculous in the process, but, she let herself lean forward a little, resting her elbows on the table as she nodded, hand extended to greet him. "I am." she laughed. "And the amount of people that know me in this town makes me almost regret moving here." she joked. "You're doing amazing, actually. My last date just stared at me and I'm not sure if it's because I am Connor's sister or what. Either way you're already doing better than the last guy." @eddiexcastro
He laughed a little bit and nodded. "I get that. When I lived in New Mexico, my family's friends all knew me and it was strange." Eddie said before listening to her, making a face. "Well, that's good to know. Maybe the next guy will do better than me." Eddie joked. "Are you liking it in Kismet, though? Outside of being perpetually known as Connor's little sister?" @colbiebowen

|| where kira is pleasantly surprised by her match
She hadn't known what to expect when signing up for speed dating, other than running into a bunch of people she knew. She had a feeling that the local event was going to be a gold mine for rumors that would carry into the next few weeks. Kira had been open about her answers when signing up for it, though there was something nerve wracking about getting paired with someone she knew and knew well. What if it changed their dynamic? What if it made things weird? Kira, however, didn't have much more time to let her thoughts run rampant when she looked up to Eddie sitting down across from her. "Eddie," her lips curled into a bright smile. "I wasn't expecting to see you here, I mean, working maybe but not," she gestured across the table, "participating."
Eddie took a deep breath and nodded. "Yeah. I mean, I was gonna work, but then I signed up." Though if they needed him, he would be up and in the kitchen in a heart beat. He was even checking in here and there to make sure things were okay when he had time. "Figured I might as well get back out there, you know?" He shrugged. "I didn't know you were, though, until I saw that we were matched." @kiraxwilder

"Hey, Colbie, right?" Eddie asked as he approached the table and sat down. "I'm Eddie." He stuck out his hand to introduce himself. "You're Connor's sister, aren't you? I think I've seen your picture before." He paused. "That sounds weird, but I've been to your brother's house and just saw pictures around." He laughed nervously and rubbed his neck. "I'm doing great at this, aren't I?"

"Oh, now this has to be a joke." Eddie said as he moved to sit down across from Pinar. She was his best friend, almost like a sister, so them being matched had to be a fluke, right? "Did you put them up to this? Tell them, Hey, you know what would be funny? Pair me with my best guy friend?" He teased her more and leaned back in his seat, a little more relaxed since it was Pinar and not someone he had to impress. "I think this should disqualify us."
"I look forward to seeing your name on my books, honestly." Omar loved to make works of art for other people. It was why he loved tattooing so much. He could take an idea that someone had, take the feeling that they had if it was something meaningful and make it into something they wanted on their body forever. It didn't seem to get better than that. "I don't know about soon," he said with a shake of his head, "but yeah, some day." Omar knew that they had already rushed things to a degree by buying a house, but it had also made a lot of sense for the two of them. "What about you? Any dates on the horizon? You sign up for speed dating?" @eddiexcastro
"Some day it is." He grinned. "And hey, I can cater so make sure to put that somewhere." Eddie offered up. He always liked doing events like that: weddings, birthdays, backyard barbecues. He loved cooking for people he knew and even ones he didn't. He just really liked making people happy through food. "I haven't been seeing anyone, but yeah. I did sign up for that." He took a breath. "I'm not sure if I'm ready, but gotta get back out there." @omarxmorrison
"Yeah, it could be something to do with that." He said with a nod of his head. A smile remained on Liam's lips as Eddie congratulated him. "Thanks, man. I appreciate it." He took another sip from his water bottle. "Want to go to Nourish Bistro?" Liam looked to the other, "I could use something to eat but want to keep up the healthiness and not grab a beer like I've done in the past." He joked with him, a lopsided smile curling against his lips. "My treat." @eddiexcastro
Listening to the offer, Eddie nodded with a soft laugh. "Yeah. That sounds good. And the healthiest choice." He grinned and stood up, grabbing his water bottle before heading to the locker room to get changed. "Though a beer does sound nice." Even if it was a little early in the day for it. Once they were both changed and ready to go, they headed out of the gym and made the short walk to Nourish Bistro. "It's been a minute since I've been in here. Looks like they have their summer menu all ready to go." @liamxadair
