— freddie crane crane distillery, bighorn hills.

Hell must have froze over to have Sage walking into the Crane's Distillery on purpose, looking for Nathan, with a bag of bagels in her hand. If Hell hadn't frozen over, than she surely had lost her damn mind. Either way, she'd stopped by Lucky Joe's and grabbed two coffees and some bagels and intentionally drove to Bighorn Hills (which, in her defense, she was already heading toward anyway) and walked through the doors of the distillery. Yet, instead of Nathan in the front, she found his brother; a man that she hadn't had much interaction with, but felt intimidated by nonetheless. Or, as intimidated as she'd allow herself to feel. She'd admittedly felt the same about his brother before they banged it out in her office at The Jagged Yard one day. "Freddie, right?" Even though she hadn't often interacted with him, she heard enough about the man to know exactly who he was. "Sage, I own The Jagged Yard downtown." She set the coffees on the bar top and plopped the bag of bagels down not long after. "I'm looking for your better half... just don't tell him I said that."

— alicia miller-garcia holy spirits, downtown.

It was rare for the two of them to have a moment together without their daughters, who were admittedly the best of friends due to their ages and usually it just made sense to plan seeing each other around them. But, Sage didn't always have Maggie, something that she held just a little bit of jealous of Alicia because of, and she'd invited the other out on a child-free night, for a longing sense of normalcy in a world where nothing felt normal. The venue of the night was a quaint bar owned by a friend, her choices being limited between her own bar and one that belonged to Nathan Crane, both of which were locations she wanted to stay far away from on a good night out, making Holy Spirits the best spot for a good cocktail and catching up with a friend. "Do you think we should take a shot every time we mention one of our kids?" Sage chuckled, amused with the fact that it was almost impossible to go a second without talking about her daughter.
