LOCATION: Tatiana’s Cafe WHO: Open @madison-starters​

Andy relished his days off. He took his time with everything he needed to accomplish: groceries, visiting his parents, checking the library for anything new. Normally he’d have Copper with him but the pup had been asleep when Andy left the house so he stayed behind while Andy headed into town. Debating a hair cut when Lavish Locks came into view, he ran a hand through the top of his hair and sighed. Maybe not yet. He didn’t have much in mind when he’d left the house but hoped it would come to him when he crossed the street and passed the library. As if on queue, his stomach growled and with Tatiana’s in sight, Andy made his way to the coffee shop. The small cafe smelled of baked goods and freshly brewed coffee and Andy eyed the bakery case, a hand on his stomach. “There’s too many choices,” he sighed, pursing his lips and landing on the iced lemon cake. “What pairs good with the vanilla latte? I’m no good at this.”

Ending up on the ground was not exactly the start Avery had wanted for her walk around Duck Pond. Not that she imagined that was on the list for anyone, however it wasn’t entirely her fault that someone left their bag so close to the sidewalk. She had managed to trip over it, getting lost in thought and sight over the ducks. It was embarrassing to say the least. “Goodness gracious,” she muttered, standing up and dusting herself off. “I cannot believe that just happened,” she shook her head, hoping and praying that someone had not seen her.

With: Open @madison-starters​

Nicholas had just left the office for the evening. Another day in the books. Another slew of children in Madison, Georgia conning their way into his favorite lollipop drawer. Yet, he loved it. Working as pediatrician was everything he could of imagined it to be and a hell of a lot more. Even more so when his sister returned with his niece in tow. “You just gonna walk on by and not say anythin’?” Nicholas called out as he recognized a familiar face ( or so he thought )

location; Madison Belle Ball with; open! @madison-starters​

“Okay look, I’m gonna be real with you here.” Addison McDaniel had never been anything but direct with people and she wasn’t planning to stop that now. “I think this whole ball is stupid but it is a good excuse to get drunk in a dress and convince some poor sap to take me home only to escape in the night and never call him again.” She took a sip of her gin and tonic and glanced over at the other person with a smile. “But if you love this kinda shit then good on you. I’m just not the ball gown princess type so this shit makes me uncomfortable. Too much damn lace and tulle for my likin’.”

Lacie turned around to look at her backside in the mirror, trying to see all angles of the outfit she’d tried on. Typically she would have brought either Emilia or Lou with her shopping to try and get some advice on how she looked in something but they’d both been busy today so she was alone. She looked to her left to see someone watching her and a smirk spread across her lips. “Well I was gonna ask you to tell me if this outfit was workin’ for me or not but based on that look on your face I’m guessin’ you like it.”

“Yes ma’am, Mrs. Richardson, you have a great day now! Yep, I’ll be sure to tell my dad about that hemorrhoid cream you recommended, you bet,” Lou called out after the older woman waved for the tenth time in a minute before ducking back into the store. Lou looked around, shaking her head. “I swear, only in a small town will a woman start telling you about a hemorrhoid cream for your dad out of nowhere. Now I’ve said that word again, jeez. I never want to think about my dad and hemorrhoids again. You know I only pretended to be getting in my car?” She shut the door of her car and rubbed her hands over her face. “God bless this town.”

“Sorry you had to see that.” Luke offered as he slid his shirt over his chest. He was soaking wet, and the person he was talking to had just caught him walking out of the duck pond at the park. “Some kid lost their toy so I tried to get it, but the geese had other plans.” Explained he, glancing over to some very ruffled geese at the edge of the pond that he could only imagine were planning his demise.

location; tatiana’s cafe - outside with; open! @madison-starter

Tyler hadn’t been trying to start a conversation with anybody, he rarely was unless he was on shift at the fire department that day, which he was not. He was simply sitting outside in the sunshine enjoying his morning coffee from Tatiana’s when he heard his name come from behind him somewhere and turned around to see a familiar face approaching. “Hey, how’s it going?”  He smiled as they approached him and glanced at the open seat in front of him. “You wanna sit down or are you on your way somewhere?”
