After speaking with Tyler, Alastair felt even worse. The guy was actually okay; he didn’t seem to have an ulterior motive, he didn’t seem to be using Aspen for anything. He seemed to genuinely like her.

Which was what Aspen had been saying all along. 

So he had brought Aspen a large bouquet of sunflowers with yellow roses and lots of greenery. However, the only issue was that she didn’t want to see Alastair. How was he supposed to drop them off? 

An idea had formed in his head, and walked Dexter and Daisy over to Aspen’s. He’d tied up the flowers to Dexter’s harness, knocked on the door and sped down the driveway, grateful that Dexter stayed where he was. Alastair stood at the bottom of the driveway on the path so that Aspen technically didn’t see him, but he could see her and her reaction. The flowers had a note on that read, love you always - Daddy x

Twice already Atlas has had to make himself walk by the booth Aspen was working, with a reminder that he shouldn't be a distraction while she was working.

( Even if he did think volunteering should come with more breaks to entertain him. )

When he saw a different volunteer take over, he seized the opportunity, waving his hand near where she stood to get her attention to relay the curious sighting he's had.

"Finally, you done slinging pico de gallo?" He doesn't give her a chance to tell him otherwise, adding quickly what he actually wanted to draw focus to.

"Saw someone wandering around, bit too tall, bit too brazen for a dude who did all that. Did you see him?"

He's certain if she has she would know who he's alluding to, but he would let her lead them both to Archie as an answer before he drops it in her lap.
