Meg was coming off from what seemed like a very long shift and needed some energy in the form of caffeine. Except there was one problem. She didn’t seem to know the way to the coffee shop. She had only been here for about six months and had a horrible sense of direction. The young woman would’ve able to get lost in a paper bag if she was being honest with herself. “Hey.” she spoke stopping the person on the street. “Can you tell me how to get to the coffee shop?” She asked a little embarrassed that she wasn’t more sure of the way.

lily had found herself wandering down the trails of pine river. the sky may have been grey and gloomy on this day, but she still believed there was a sort of beauty in spending her afternoons in the nature. these very walks reminded her of when she was young. she would convince her nanny to take her down the shore of lake michigan. of course, the air seemed a lot cleaner an quieter than in the city. she would often still wish to have the freedom she dreamt of as a child. however, she knew now that acting like a proper adult was the most important thing for her. with these thoughts still rolling around in her mind, she passed the trees and noticed another person on the trails.

as she continued with her stroll, she attempted to remain silent in an effort not to draw attention to herself. though, it seemed as if her fate had other plans when a stick broke underneath the woman’s foot. “ sorry. if i startled you. that was not my intention.” the dark-eyed woman said softly in a kind voice as she as she walked closer to the other. “ peaceful out here, is it not ? ” she spoke, with the same smile she typically wore.

 Garrett had just gotten done with shift. He was exhausted and needed a cup of coffee badly. Before deciding to go home and catch up on some actual sleep, Garrett decided to head into High Grounds Cafe. It was bright and early, well it was raining and he waited in line for his coffee and Garrett took a deep breath. He could easily fall asleep right now with how cozy things felt in here "Any chance you can add extra sugar into that for me please?" He questioned the barista after ordering and than turned to his friend "Hey you, long time no see. Its been a while."

gabe wasn’t one to talk about anything that may be considered a feeling in the slightest. instead he much preferred the idea of simply making music and that was what he intended to do right now. nothing was wrong, per say, but he was just feeling overwhelmed with the recent phone calls he was forced to have with his dad. there wasn’t much the two would ever agree on; but, they did agree they did not want to talk to each other unless completely necessary. so, he grabbed his phone and set out for to take a small run to push past those memories and emotions that were threatening to come up. as he reached the spot where he’d designated as his own rest stop upon moving here he let out a small smile. honestly, he wasn’t sure why he liked it so much but he figured it helped that no one was ever there so he could relax. he pulled out his phone and sat down at the base of a tree. he was trying to enjoy the peace and quiet the spot brought when he heard someone walk up to him. he hoped they would continue past him and leave him unbothered.

he let out a sigh knowing his hope of peace and quiet was ruined as the person started talking to him. “ listen, I’m sure whatever you’re going to tell me is very interesting but I have actual work to do so unless you’re here to sit quietly with me. i promise, i’m most likely not interested.  ” he asked not bothering to look up at who was talking to him but keeping his eyes on his on the emails that he was going through in that moment.
