It was that day. The day Clarissa hated the most. 

It was grocery day.

It wasn’t that Clarissa minded going shopping -- it was just so tedious. And since Cillian came to live with her again, she had to start buying enough for two. In her past life, she wouldn’t be doing this. Probably have someone else do it for her but in her new life, she had embraced her independence. That didn’t mean she liked it any more. Especially when she walked through Walmart. That was awful on it’s own. As she walked down one of the aisle, she stopped and  looked over the assortment of deodorants and other personal hygiene items. Once she spotted the one Cillian used and her own , Clarissa placed them in her cart. When she glanced up, she caught sight of Nolan and a small smile crossed her lips. “Hey.” She called out, grabbing his attention. “Fancy seeing you here. I was going to ask what you were doing... but that seems like a pretty dumb question now.” @burkesfm​

It had been a long day at the shop, Ava had some very rude customers today and needed to wind down so she headed to the bar. She usually stayed to herself especially when she wasn’t in the best mood, Ava knew how she could get if someone tested her while she was already down. After ordering her Jack and Coke she secluded herself and people watched.

In the midst of her eyeing everyone and making up stories in her head of the conversations they might be having she spotted a familiar face. It was one she hadn’t seen in years and honestly she wasn’t one hundred percent sure it was even him. Ava couldn’t stop looking at him and her curiosity got the best of her. She got up with her drink and walked over to him “You look really familiar do I know you?” The last time she saw him she was an angry kid in a foster home with a head full of curls so she wasn’t even sure if he’d even notice her now but it was worth a shot.

The air mattress was comfortable enough but Clarissa found that despite how exhausted she was, sleep was just coming to her. After a while of failing to fall asleep, she managed to wiggle herself from Cillian’s embrace and off the mattress without waking her husband up. After zipping up the entrance of her tent, Clarissa turned around and was surprised to see Nolan was still up. She zipped up her sweater and dug her hands into the pockets of the clothing as she took one of the empty chairs by Nolan. “Couldn’t sleep?” @burkesfm​

i dare you to give me a hug

noah’s mood instantly brightened, heading towards nolan. “you could’ve just asked for a hug.” he teased, pulling nolan into their first hug in, what, nine years? part of him wished that it wasn’t in front of all these people and that there weren’t tears pricking at his eyes but it was nolan of all people and they both needed this hug. the bigger part of him didn’t care, he just wanted to hug his old best friend. “i missed you.” voice barely to a whisper.
