elliot and parker had stormed off not long after daria had and ben was left standing at the table outside alone. at first he decided to at least start cleaning up out there, coming in the house with the plates and such. he tried to get tessa to let him help but she insisted she was alright. he checked on carter and joy but then decided he needed to go find daria, hoping that her getting some time alone would help settle her. ben was going to walk down to that lake, but it would be quicker if he took one of the horses as well and low and behold she was there. ‘daria?’ he called out softly, moving to settle on the bank of the lake beside her, all the things elliot and parker had said still floating around in his mind. ‘you don’t have to talk if you don’t want to.’
