THERE IS ONLY SO LONG that one can reasonably expect a Miyoshi to wait without it becoming an insult. really, the restaurant should count their lucky stars that it is Mikey in their waiting line and not their demanding mother. running a hand through their hair, they miserably look around again, cursing their sudden craving for french food. this time, though, they spot a familiar face sat down on the waiting area and quickly saunter over to their cushy seat, happiness renewed. "oh, i'm so glad to see you, honey. mind if i seat?" they don't wait for a response, plopping down beside the other. "god, my feet are killing me and it's not even 2 p.m. yet."
absent-mindedly scrolling through her instagram feed, trying her hardest to ignore the faint jealousy that sat of the pit of her stomach as she saw all the happy couples and holiday pregnancy announcements. she knew that she should avoid social media this time of year, but she couldn’t resist and didn’t know why — perhaps her subconscious enjoyed her being miserable?
a familiar voice pulled her out of her daze, her dark eyes landing on none other than mikey miyoshi. before she could even muster up a greeting, the once empty chair across from her had become occupied.
“of course, honey.” she replied, instantaneously playing along with the fake scenario. “see? i told you those shoes were too tight.” unable to repress her amusement any longer, she let out a laugh. “come on, relax with me. i need a distraction, because if i see one more engagement announcement on my feed i will hurl.”
emma walked the streets of fifth avenue , shopping bags on every inch of her arms but despite the weight the socialite had the widest smile on her face . and while she couldn't quite place the face in front of her , it did tickle something in her memory . " hello ! " she greeted , every the bubbly and happy person ( like ever ) . " isn't it just magical ? " she asked , as snow started to fall around them . " i love this time of year . "
considering the extremely busy life victoria led, the only form of shopping she actually had time for was the online variety. technology these days made it so much easier — anything she wanted, she could get it with a few clicks of her fingers. although, of course, having an assistant to retrieve it helped too.
however, christmas was an exception.
the actress was far too much of a perfectionist to allow another person to pick out gifts for those dearest to her. she was an extremely sentimental person and simply couldn’t trust someone else to capture the receiver’s tastes as flawlessly as she did.
strolling down fifth avenue, several luxury designer shopping bags hanging off her arms, her attention was captured by a young, cheery beauty in front of her — the stranger’s face was familiar, but she couldn’t quite place where she’d seen her before to save her life.
“new york city during the holidays is truly one of a kind.” victoria replied, her blush stained lips curving into a smile. “you and i both. there’s something so comforting about it, you know? people seem to be nicer during the holidays, too.” her words were followed by a chuckle and a light shrug.

BACKSTORY
amelia hails from london, england and is the middle child of three girls. she grew up in a wealthy family with everything she could ever want or need. her father was a high-powered criminal defense attorney and her mother was a doctor and the pair had high hopes for their children, pushing them to pursue a career in law or medicine, but it didn't interest amelia at all. she'd always been the more artistic type, opting to pursue an acting career rather than following her parents' high expectations.
still, they supported their daughter when she left for los angeles at 19 to try her hand at show business.
success doesn't come overnight, she worked three jobs while trying to land roles --- the typical life of a wannabe, struggling actor.
