Babs​:

“Well, that’s a nice part about the drive-in, you can bring your own food is. Granted, we make a lot of our money in concession sales, but once I saw someone bringing, like, sixteen Chinese takeout boxes and they gave me some eggrolls so it’s definitely not all bad,” Babs says, before shaking her head quickly. “No, no, oh my god, I don’t mean actual children! I mean, like, high school freshmen shoving their buddies in the trunk thinkin’ they’re bein’ slick. But then I see people pouring out like it’s a goddamn clown car.”

Ivy raised her eyebrows before laughing, “Bringing Chinese food does not seem like a bad idea.” She blinked a few times before nodding her head, “I should’ve assumed that.” She scrunched up her nose with a shake of her head before laughing. “That is one way to sneak someone in, but I feel like it would be pretty hard to miss when they start climbing out the trunk.”

Ivy: Soooo you’re saying I should keep sending them?

Ivy: 😬😬😬😬

Noah​:

“It’s delicious and you know everyone around here enjoys homemade shit! Of course it was going to be a hot topic around here. I’m surprised you were didn’t think it would be popular.” His eyes lit up at the idea of a candy store. “Oh, God, Ivy. I would be your biggest customer. Would you have other candies or just your own?”

“I have a tendency to downplay a lot of things,” she chuckled nervously. She saw how his eyes lit up, and it made her smile. It also made her feel excited. “I don’t even know what to say to that,” another smile, “I’ll talk to Aubrey about it, but right now, I’m going to say we will only have our own candies.”

[ivyfair]

Lou:

“Oh, you know, a little social visit. I knew you were busy, looking after Peaches and then the farm…” She shrugged, leaving the plate on the table nearby before taking a seat and getting comfortable. “I do have another reasons though, a small one but I was gonna come anyway —  Oh, the restaurant’s… good as always. Way too hot now and too loud now that we have to turn on the fans.” She chuckled.

“What’s the reason? ” she raised an eyebrow. Ivy grabbed a strand of her hair, feeling the texture of the spiral the curls make. “Oh, that’s good! -- Well, that the restaurant's good. The loud fan sucks. I’d suggest playing music over it, but I don’t think that will help much. I have to visit the restaurant sometime this week.”

[ivyfair]

Cassidy:

“Then I’ve got nothin’ to worry about. Just do me a favor: if you feel the need to hurl, give me a heads up.” Surprise vomit was the worst. “Hold the phone.” The idea of Gertie on the bull was too hilarious not to discuss, but she had to put a pin in elaborating that idea when there was something much more concerning on the table. “Are you tellin’ me you’ve never ridden the bull? Like, ever?” She waved her hand to halt her from answering as she registered the other revelation. “Are you scared of the bull?” 

Ivy laughed before nodding her head, “I will do my best.” She assumed, when Cassidy said to hold the phone, she was going to go into the idea of Gertie riding the bull. She did not expect it to turn on her, she was hoping it wouldn’t turn on her. She pressed her tongue against the left side of her bottom lip. “He’s not scary,” she started before bringing her hand to the nape of her neck, “--- as long as he’s not moving.” She scrunched up her nose before drowning the rest of her drink.

[ivyfair]

Nash:

“That much happening, huh?” he joked. “I can’t really even imagine what you’d be like really drunk.”

“I will drink to that,” he said, raising a glass before downing most of its contents. “Too good, I’m starting to think. You skip work one Monday morning and suddenly it’s as though the world is endin’.” Nash chuckled. “Yeah, well, I think the past few years it has taken over my life. But hopefully that will change.” Ivy was adorable, and he couldn’t help but grin when she stopped herself from saying something mean about his boss. He fought the urge to tease her, but the smile on his face still gave him away.

“Hearing about your life is like watching an episode of Little House on the Prairie.” It sounded somewhat peaceful though, and Nash wondered if it was easier to live like his friend, to be more focused on the world as it existed at your fingertips than such a wider scope. “Berty sounds like he takes after me.” He really enjoyed listening to Ivy talk about these things. “A garden and flowers? You have been keepin’ busy.”

Nash scrunched his nose at her. “I wasn’t gonna say that. Honestly, I was thinking how kind of jealous I am of your life, actually.” Maybe his last conversation with Mariah was more truthful than he realized – maybe he was headed for a mid-life crisis. That would explain a lot of his behavior as of late. His eyes widened at her admission. “You went skinny dipping? Okay, but the question of the hour – alone, or did you have guests?” he asked with a lifted brow.

Sighing, he took another drink, not prepared to turn the conversation back to himself. “You’re too young to understand,” he mused jokingly. “I always thought being a lifetime bachelor would keep me young, but the more I see everyone my age settlin’ down, the more I just feel like I’m watching my life pass me by alone, y’know? I have great friends and I’m always stayin’ busy, but I don’t know.” He shrugged, taking a drink. “And that’s why I’m more interested in your life,” he laughed.

“I feel like drunk Ivy is what most people want sober Ivy to be,” she told him with a nod as she took a sip of her wine, “I don’t overthink, and I am a lot braver.”

Ivy raised her glass, only downing half of her drink. “And if it was endin’, that’s on them,” she shrugged her shoulder, “Is that so? How come? ” She noticed the grin on his face, waiting for him to say something. She can tell he wanted to, but nothing was said. That didn’t change her mind from making a face at him. As if that was going to stop him from grinning.

“I’ve never heard of that show, I’m going to assume it’s a good show? ” she raised an eyebrow. She made a mental note for herself to check that show out when she can. Or to look up what the show was about. What he said next made her laugh, causing her to cover her mouth with her free hand. “He does,” she shook her head, “always getting himself into trouble! But he’s so small and cute,” she pouted. The goat definitely believed he was the one in charge of the place with the way he prances around the farm. “Well, I’ve been told I needed to give myself some self-care, so this garden is going to be it. I just hope it works,” especially her busy schedule. 

“How come? ” honestly, she was not expecting him to say that. Nash being jealous of her life? Ivy does not hate her life, but there’s a part of her that feels stuck. This was not where she imagined herself to be at this point in her life. She saw herself further ahead, already having a candy store, and be settled down. Yeah, she’s only twenty-six, but since she was young, she always assumed she had to have everything together by her mid-twenties.

“I had guests, but when they heard someone coming, they ran and accidentally took my clothes. So, that was horrifying.”

“Oh, try me,” she scrunched up her nose. Ivy listened to him speak, taking everything he said in. His last comment made her laugh. He was trying to do the same she was doing by changing the topic, so they didn’t have to talk about their life. “You don’t have to be a lifetime bachelor to keep yourself young. Sure, I get why it would give off that vibe since the majority of guys in their twenties have that lifestyle. But,” she pressed her lips together, “it doesn’t make you stay young, as you get older. It just makes it cringy. And I say this with all the love in my heart.” Ivy repositioned herself before taking a sip of her wine. “What keeps you young is your child-like spirit. No matter how old you are, that spirit will keep you young. Look at us, we are ten years apart, but anyone would think you’re the twenty-six-year-old and I’m the thirty-six-year-old, and it’s definitely not because of the lifetime bachelor lifestyle. And I get the whole watching my life pass me by, I do.” 

She licked her lips as she gave herself a moment to collect her thoughts before wording them. “There’s nothing bad with wanting to settle down or wanting more than what you have now. But it has to be something you want, not something you think you should have because everyone else your age is doing it. The whole catch-up game can be addicting, but I don’t want you to get yourself into something you thought you want because of everyone else. And then find out later that you didn’t, and you can’t take it back.” She let a moment a silent fall between before she looked over at him, “I just word vomit, sorry,” she grimaced before chuckling, “well, we can continue talking about Barty. But talking this out ain't that bad either, especially if can help in some way.”

Noah:

He grinned at the story thinking about what he wanted to do as a kid, but how none of that panned out. “Well, hey, so many years later and look at you. The candy is the talk of the town. I don’t know a person that has a bad word against it.” He paused before asking, “Do you have any plans to go bigger with the business? Like, outside of Frostford?”

Ivy couldn’t help but smile at what he said, letting a nervous chuckle escape her lips. There was one person she could name that has a bad word against it, but she didn’t want to ruin the moment. “I didn’t really think the candy would become the talk of the town,” honestly, she was worried they would flop. But it made her happy knowing the people in town actually enjoy their candy. “We never really discussed that. I feel like, in a dream world, yes. It would be cool if that could happen. But right now, we are saving up to open up a candy store in town.”

[ivyfair]

Knox:

The girl seemed mild-mannered, and Knox could appreciate that; caused much less headache in the end. He and Vivian had officially taken over the firm from their father’s grasp, insisting that keeping his name or reputation attached to it in any way would only help drive out business. When the scandal first broke, clientele came in swarms, but they were more interested in the notoriety than seriously represented. Now, though, it was better for them to break out on their own, and the start of that would require a completely new rebrand. “I have faith in you,” he affirmed. Knox, however, could be a fickle bastard. Most of the time, his sister was the one who had to temper him down, a fact most would likely find surprising considering their outward facades. Knox may have been generally more level-headed, but he had a short fuse that was easily ignited. He hired people regularly, but fired them equally as regularly. “Obviously, we are looking for something professional, youthful but sleek. We need to completely remove any memory of our father from the business.”

His words should reassure her. He has seen the moral she’s done for his parents. How she found herself doing that was a conversation for another day. Ivy knew about the scandal of his father’s firm. She does her best to keep up with what’s going on. Maybe her hesitant has to do with that. But she’s the type of person who is willing to give someone a second chance. She can tell he wants to change what happened. And she can’t fault him for something his father did. 

Ivy nodded her head as he stated what he was looking for. There were a few ideas that came to mind, but it wasn’t something she’d would share with right this instance. In her head, it just small ideas that she would need to piece together later on. “I can sketch together some ideas and then go over them with you to see what preferences you have,” she told him before offering a smile. “Is there a timeline you’d like me to follow? ” Ivy doesn’t mind helping out when it came to art. But this was the first time she had to go about it professionally. It is definitely something out of her comfort zone, but she hoped it wasn’t so obvious. She knows how to be professional, but on the inside, she is completely freaking out.

[ivyfair]

Lou‌:

“Yeah, I thought so, another reason why I  thought I could stop by. Company often helps.” She smiled at Ivy as she shrugged, while Lou was a talker alright she prefered to be the listener, or at least the one offering and ear or a shoulder. She waved her friend off and held the plate for Ivy to grab. “I know but everything’s better with treats. And we deserve ‘em, for whatever thing we did today.” Lu chuckled. “Your hair routine worked today? Have a bisuit. The coffee you made was delicious? You deserve another one. Celebrate the small things.” She laughed.

Lou had a good list of reasons why she should have a biscuit. The one about the hair routine made her laugh. “Alright, Alright,” she took a cheddar biscuit before walking farther into her house. “So, what brings you to my humble abode? ” she raised an eyebrow before taking a bite of the cheddar biscuit. She made her way into her living room, taking a seat on the couch before featuring for Lou to do the same. “How’s the restaurant going? ”

Ava‌:

Ava clutched the strawberry gram’s note in her hand as she walked to the back of the old Mayfield barn, her heart rate increasing with every step she took. It’d been more than a decade since she last looked upon its’ chipped walls; since she’d had her last late night rendezvous with Ivy before she left for LA. Memories of that night threatened to burst a floodgate within her mind, and to distract herself Ava wandered closer to the barn. 

She did remember, however, how they used to sneak inside and hide within the red walls of the barn away from the town and the gazes of others. Ava briefly wondered if she’d have to find a way inside once more before she stumbled upon Ivy’s figure. The moonlight somehow made her appear even more breathtaking than she had that day on her farm; a stunning visage that caused Ava to swallow before attempting to speak. “Hi,” she greeted back, offering a small smile. At Ivy’s question, Ava’s smile grew, and she let out an embarrassed chuckle. “Oh, god, do I. That little time capsule thing? I don’t even remember what we put in it, honestly.”

Ivy only has two drinks, which is enough to make her feel a lot more relax and brave than before. It’s also why she isn’t currently trying to talk herself out of, whatever, this meeting is. This is something they did a decade ago when she was in love with her. This is something she knew wasn’t supposed to happen. They both knew it was not a forever type relationship, yet she allowed herself to get caught up in it.

What is she doing now?

It was easy to convince herself this doesn’t mean anything. In reality, it shouldn’t. It’s been ten years. This is just a fun activity to do, to look back at a times capsule they did when they were kids.

Just friend things.

“It was ten years ago,” she bit down on her bottom lip before shrugging her shoulder. Ivy remembers what she put in there, but she didn’t want to say that out loud. “I think we may spend a bit of time trying to look for where we barrier it,” she chuckled. She had an idea of where it could be, but she wasn’t a hundred percent sure. She started playing with the strands of her hair, feeling out the texture of each curl as her gaze meets Ava’s.

[ivyfair]

Ava:

Ava was caught up in the moment Ivy’s fingers brushed against her own. It felt like, for a brief respite, time had slowed down around them. In reality, Ava’s senses dulled out the noises of the farm around her and fixated on the subtle and smooth feel of Ivy’s hand. Ava didn’t know if it had taken seconds or minutes for her to catch her breath; she just knew it came back to her when Ivy took the paper from her and held it to her chest. 

“Good,” she commented. It dawned on her that she had voiced her part of her thoughts aloud - that she was hoping Ivy would do more than just try not to lose it, that she would be compelled to send her a text without any real reason at all - and Ava suddenly felt self-conscious over the meaning behind her comment. “I, uh, I mean,” she started, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear before she smiled softly. “It’d be good not to lose it, that is. If there’s an emergency, you’d be able to reach me directly and not have to go through the receptionist.” Ava nodded after she spoke, then hastily added, “Not that Adrianna would steer you the wrong way or anythin’. It’d just be more efficient, is all.”

Ava cleared her throat and took a step backward from Ivy - as if more physical distance between the two of them would help keep her mind from wandering back to her. She gave a cursory glance back toward Peaches, before she looked down at her notepad. “Right, so um,” she looked back toward Ivy as she continued, “I think that’s about it? Unless you have another animal who needs attendin’ to.” 

Her comment was simple yet effective. It was all she needed to hear to cause her heart to start racing again. Replying the comment in her head, as if it had a significant meaning. God, could Ava tell she was blushing? Ivy hopes not. She shifted her gaze to the ground for a moment. Focusing on coco has she scratched his head, using that as a distraction before turning her attention back on Ava. She could tell she was starting to over think, especially when Ava started to corrected herself. She furrowed her eyebrows as she talked, listening to everything she said. She was trying real hard not over think this either, but she couldn’t help the way her heart sunk in her chest. If there’s an emergency, you’d be able to reach me directly and not have to go through the receptionist.

Of course, of course, it was just for emergency. Why does she do this to herself ?

Ivy nods her head, giving a nonverbal cue that she understood as she watched Ava take a step back. A nod was the best that she could do without making a fool of herself. Lord would only what she’d say if she opened her mouth. She didn’t want to make it more awkward.

“Oh um,” she cleared her throat, taking a glance around. She thought about giving an excuse to make Ava stay longer. And she was real close to doing so. Her baby goat, Berty, was at the tip of her tongue. But she was stoped when she heard Nyx barking and notice Berty was making his way over to them. so much for that lie. Maybe it was good that happened. She didn’t fully think that through. What was she going to say was wrong with Berty ? The little goat who is extremely healthy. All this just felt like an emotional rollercoaster ride. It only made sense to end it.

“The other animals seem fine, Peaches was the only one I was concerned for. But I’ll make sure to watch over the other horses in case they get sick too.”
