@koltonschipper || closed || juniper general store

"oh, that house sold." lena muttered to herself, her eyes landing on the bright "SOLD" sign that now adorned the front yard. for three months, magdalena had walked by this beautiful house, with the ornate roof and clean white paint job. she marveled at how stately, yet homey it was--it commanded respect but she knew you could have a good kitchen dance party in there as well. it felt unique and warm, and--well, perhaps in a way to help her settle into her new life--she had made goal that maybe she'd be the owner of that house one day. it was just as unlikely now as it was then--perhaps more so as it was off the market. but, as most things went recently...it was not to be.

it was tuesday and that meant lena had the day off and also that her fridge was in major need of some improvements. she knew it would be smarter to drive--but for a small town, traffic was terrible and besides, she could use the fresh air. she wasn't used to the chill in the air, but she had loved how walkable miami had been and missed the ease of movement in the area. so perhaps, it was time to make her movement easier too. not everything could remind of her her past, but this seemed banal enough.

"ooh, peaches are on sale." a grilled peach sounded delicious--the smoky char and the sweet sugar was a perfect combination. huh, another opposites attract moment. she bit her lip, fighting the urge to think of her own opposites moment. putting the peach down, she reached for the jar of pasta sauce, on sale right next to her. she had fallen for the marketing trap, she knew--but the colors just looked so vibrant together. inspecting the jar, she turned it around, making sure the item was still in date (it never hurt to check). out of the corner of her eye though--she saw what had to be an illusion. a trick of her mind. because no way was....in juniper? the farthest place she could find? no...it couldn't be...

CRACK!

suddenly, the jar she had been holding feel straight to the ground and splattered everywhere. dropping to her knees, she bit her lip. "pinga, estoy en candela."

kolton had just recently got into town. from all the work of moving into his new house and setting up his new office he was completely exhausted. the whole first week was spent buying all new furniture and new material things. a lot of take out which as someone who tend to eat healthier this fast food was making him feel god awful. it was time to head to the store and get some actual food to cook for the week.

still unsure about all the places around town he had headed to the only one he had been to since he had moved in. when he parked his car in the parking lot he looked around in the stack of papers on his seat looking for his list. "shit." he groaned when noticed he wasnt there. kolt had always been a list maker. everything he done or was going to do he had to make some type of list of it to keep him on track. instantly his anxiety was already peaked now noticing something had happened to his list. "great." he murmured as he killed the engine and got out of the car with a sigh. "i guess ill just try to shop from memory." now he was talking to himself? the last thing he needed was for the people in town to think the new physiatrist needed help.

grabbing the shopping cart he had began to go down the aisles doing his best to figure out what he was needed and what he had even planned to make that week. he was so caught up in his own thoughts until he heard the loud crash. pulling his attention over to where the sound came from his breath was taken from his lungs. jesus christ. of course he was expecting to see her, hell he had been chasing after her since the moment she walked out of their front door. yet now that he saw her he wasnt even sure what the hell he was going to say. his list... it would have been a lot easier if he had his list of points he wanted to talk to her about.

instead it was just him, his shopping cart and a few fresh veggies. it wasn't like he could just turn around and walk away. she was the whole reason he was here after all. rocking on his feet he pushed himself off and headed over to her, searching for the things to say to her on the short stride over to her. "lena.." was all he could get out of his lips at first.

up and moving his life from florida was a big step for kolt. his hometown and life back in miami was all that he knew and now here he was starting all over. of course his reasons for moving all the way across the states was to fix his family or at least attempt to. it didnt make any of this less scary for him. as he had finished setting up his new office space in town he had ran into a stranger. someone who had been very kind to him and had even offered to go grab a bit with the man.

as the two had at the table ordering lunch he nodded, "hey-" he paused looking over at them. "thank you for inviting me out for lunch." he had began, "it was really kind of you, being new to a city can be a little intimidating and making at least one friend makes it a little easier."

NAME: Kolton 'Kolt' Jameson Schipper AGE: Thirty-Nine HOMETOWN: Miami, FL RESIDENCE: Brookstone HOUSE: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/9-W-Oak-Ave_Moorestown_NJ_08057_M50576-60782 OCCUPATION: Psychiatrist STATUS: Single

Family: Born to Jameson and Sherry Schipper in Miami, FL on December 21st was a little man name Kolt. He was the first of four more children to follow and boy was he a handful. From the start the parents of Kolt knew they would have their hands full. As a child he certainly had a set of lung and he was never scared to use them. Through the years his parents had assumed that it would be something he would grow out of but it only got worse. In grade school Kolt stayed in trouble for minor pranks, putting tacks on his teachers chairs or cutting the girl's hair in front of him. It was one thing after another and as his family grew and more siblings came his parents were having a harder time focusing on the trouble. With that being said as high school came the trouble only escalated into things that were far worse.

Kolten easily began hanging out with the wrong crowd from freshman year and caught himself being taken home by the police on more occasions that his family would have liked to admit. Though his parents would just scold him and pay Kolt's way our of everything. That was until graduation night when his friends and him took things way too far. One thing led to another (secret) which landed Kolt in some serious trouble.. once again his parents found a way to pay his pay out of it though this time they gave him a ultimatum. From then on he did things his parents way with no complaints or questions. Kolt spent a lot of his time in college getting his degree and license to open open his own therapist office. He had figured with his own experience he could offer a lot of help. Even the older he had gotten he still took the advice of his parents because he felt like he owed it to them because they saved him from a bad situation.

Relationships: Through his young years Kolt had no problem with the ladies he was never a one lady kind of man. That was until he had decided to go back to college to work towards his schooling and license to be a psychiatrist. One day while he was on campus he had seen a beautiful blonde from across the yard and he knew then and there she was his person. It was something he just couldn't explain. Their love story had started there and everything happened so quickly for Kolt. The man had no trouble falling head over heels in love with the fun and vibrant woman. She was everything he could imagine in a partner and more. She was caring, loving, compassionate and the best part of it was the fun the two could have. There was never an awkward silence and never a struggle to think of things to talk about. Everything just came easy for the two of them and in no time the two were living together.

However not everyone loved the woman, Sherri was beyond worried for her son. They had helped him get on this straight and narrow path where they had hoped that he would meet a wealthy and mature woman. (not that his girlfriend wasnt mature, but his mother would argue that). She didn't like the silliness and fun side that her son had started to show when he was with Lena and it worried her that maybe he would change their plan. For the first time since he was a teen he had went against what his mother had wanted for him. He refused to leave Lena because she was his soulmate and he loved her. This only infuriated the woman and after trying to make his girlfriend's life a living hell for ten years only to find out her son had proposed to this 'monster'. It only made things intensify and her anger grow more and more out of control. On their second year of their engagement Kolt was ready to settle down and give her his last name. He had talked of starting a family with her and with that he wanted them to go ahead and be married. The idea was beyond exciting for him and he couldn't wait to be a happily married family man who now had his psychiatrist license and own business to provide. Unknowingly thanks to the medaling of his mother that drove his fiancé away before that could all happen.

Current Day: The hunt for his missing bride was what brings Kolt to Juniper. He had spent the last three months searching and trying to find where the woman had ran off to. He had no idea his mother had interfered with things and wanted answers as to why she had left him. After his PI tracked her down in Juniper Kolt felt the only way he would get those answers, and potentially win his bride back, was to make the move to Juniper. Kolt had worked with a real estate agent out there in getting him a lease on a office building and a new house where he has settled in for about a month as of April.
