It was the end of a rollercoaster of a year and as Nate sat himself at a table with a bit of food, he couldn't help on reflect. He'd moved back to the place he felt most at home in and even though he had no right to hope, he couldn't help but hope that things with Holly weren't as dead and buried as he had once assumed. Half of the town still seemed to hate him, but at least it was only half. Maybe he was becoming more of an optimist after all.

Glancing to his side as someone else sat at his table, Nate could only smirk a little. He didn't know his neighbour extensively, but he did at least know that she had no issues eating his cheese feast pizza when it got delivered there by accident. "If you've sat here just to steal my slice of pizza, I'm going to have to put my foot down, there's literally a whole pie over there you can steal which is much more your style."

"Come on, neighbour, open up! I'm making it worth your while, I promise!" Standing in front of his next door neighbour's house, Nate stood with two pizza boxes in his hands. It had been the way they had gotten to know each other and even if Nate would've preferred to form a friendship with Alara that hadn't involved her stealing his late night pizza one night, at least it was something.

It had almost become a tradition that if Alara got there first, she stole the pizza or occasionally, if he didn't want to risk it, he would just order a second that she could have and he could still enjoy his favourite pizza. But for the last couple of times he'd ordered, the pizza went untouched. So there he stood, pizza in hand to check on her.

"I can't post the pizza through your mailbox and it's going to get cold.. Don't do the pizza dirty like that, Alara. I even got your favourite.."

"Every single part of my body aches." Slumping down, Kira gently rested her head against the top of the counter as the last customer of the rush left the shop. After the crazy rush of summer, the shop usually slowed a little going into winter, but as soon as the Christmas season properly started, the shop was heaving and on that day, it felt like the entire town had descended on her little shop for a sweet treat to keep them going during their Christmas shopping and to get some tubs to have in the freezer for their holiday desserts.

Hearing the bell above the door jingle, Kira quickly lifted her head from the counter and reached for the cleaning spray to wipe it down. She may have been so achey and tired she could barely feel her feet, but the customer service smile never slipped. Until she saw who it was.

She had joked with Emil about banning Alara from the shop but it hadn't really been a joke. After she'd left her best friend and also her, considering they'd had a friendship since they had been teenagers, Kira had no interest in pleasantries now.

"We're closed." They weren't.

"I'm not saying I nearly called the fire brigade, but I'm also technically not saying I didn't nearly call the fire brigade." Pushing the door to her locker shut, Lia locked it with her padlock before sighing and opening it again, having locked her water bottle in there with her clothes. Opening it again, Lia pulled her trusty and oh so basic Stanley cup from her bag, checking the locker again before she locked it and pushed the key into the pocket of her workout leggings. "It was a really big spider, Lary, who was meant to deal with it?"

Sitting down on the changing bench so she could tie her laces, she set her bottle down next to her as she retied the laces on her overly pink trainers. "Eventually Pudding caught it and ate it but honestly I think that's just grossed me out even more." It wasn't the first time Lia had to be rescued from a spider situation. She sure Alara had been on the end of one of those phone calls, or ten, over their time together in Nashville. "At least I didn't call you though! See? I'm making progress!"
