“I understand it was Valentine’s Dayjust yesterday, but how much did people actually drink last night?” Shae shook her head, leaning back on her chair as she brought the cup of coffee in her hands to her mouth. A quick sip was taken, the hot beverage enough to brighten up her day after a long night attending guests at Miss Mary’s, mostly lonely people that needed an entertainment for the night, or couples that enjoyed the show put up by her girls. “You wouldn’t believe the amount of people I’ve seen struggling to pull a door that clearly says push.”

After a long day at the station, Sebastián was happy to kick back at a nearby bar. He took a moment though, leaning back against the outside wall to take out a cigarette. Nasty habit, but one he’d picked up to get through the long days when it all seemed like a little too much too often. The smoke escaped him slowly, as he watched a few couples leave the place with nothing but happy faces. “Some people are getting lucky tonight, huh?” He let out to no one in particular, a soft chuckle following his words.

It wasn’t often anymore that Gabriel got a chance to have the evening to himself and when he did, he often spent it outside of his home, often feeling trapped there otherwise. Finding himself at one of the local bars, nursing a scotch, he turned his attention to the person occupying the stool next to him. “I’ll put all of your drinks on my tab if you can just get a song to stick in my head that isn’t any of the songs off of the Frozen soundtrack,” he nodded, the look on his face suggesting he was entirely serious. His daughter had recently discovered Frozen and he was almost ashamed to say he knew the entire movie, word for word, by heart. “Any song at all.”

“You can sit down if you want,” Mara offered, noticing someone hovering near a chair across from her at the coffee shop. “There’s not a lot of chairs left. I don’t mind.” She’d been in the middle of scribbling down notes, but had looked up to see the chaos inside the shop. It really did get busy around this time, she supposed.

With a wicked smile, a dash of good looks and a love for journalism, it’s no surprise that Jamie Manning became the frontman of the local news program, reading out the days happening for the people of the town with a dazzling smile stretching across his lips. Some days, though, no matter how much he loved his job, it became a little tiring. Case in point: right now. A sigh slipped from his lips for what felt like the umpteenth time that day, hand running through his already-messy hair. “You know how some days you feel like the world is just competely and utterly against you?” he questioned to the person beside him in line for coffee. “Today is one of those days. It’s like the universe has decided it’s a day to mess everything up in my life,” he half-sighed, half-groaned, motioning to the blatant coffee stain on his shirt. He wasn’t having the best of times.

As much as Harlow tended to mind her own business when she was out and about on a ‘date’ with herself, something caught her eye in the middle of perusing. She’d come out specifically to find herself some tall lace up leather boots, but one of her fellow shoppers happened to have a bombass pair of glasses on. Not one to leave herself in wondering, and nowhere near shy by nature, Harlow walked up to them and tapped them on the shoulder, treating them with a brilliant smile when they turned. “I am so sorry to bother you but your glasses are really amazing. Do you know where you got them from?”
