sloane could not believe how bad her date had went the night before and she wasn't sure why in the world she thought that joining a date website was a good idea. "god," she huffed, walking next to her friend as they made their ways down the side walk toward their lunch destination, "i swear that i attract the weirdest people. how hard is it for me to meet a normal girl? or well, normal enough. last night, i met up with this girl and she told me she saw dead people. i can't tell if she's seen too much tv or she was on something. either way, that date was over just as soon as it started."

sloane’s arm was linked with connor’s as they walked inside the club, her attention on him and the beat of the music. it got louder the further they walked and she couldn’t wait to see what she could get into tonight. “god, i love it here.” she breathed out loud enough for him to hear and led him toward the bar so that they could really get things started. “let’s order some shots and then,” she paused, grinning over at him. “what’s it gonna take to get you to dance with me?”

OPEN STARTER SET @ FINISHING TOUCHES.

the lack of sleep was evident the moment anyone's eyes landed on sloane. she'd been working over time and picking up the slack that her brother couldn't in his current situation. she couldn't blame that on him though, especially since he was doing what he thought was best in the moment. she had an inventory sheet placed in front of her on the counter and her cheek was leaned against the palm of her hand. that was until she realized someone was standing in front of her. taking in a sharp breath, she pushed herself up hurriedly. "hi, sorry. can i help you?"

sloane was thankful that her brother was always there to look out for her, especially since she'd moved back to wilmington. one thing she appreciated more than anything else was the fact that he took her boys once a week and gave her a night to herself. it wasn't that she didn't love them but it was just that she was tired and needed a break every once in a while after continuously working two jobs. she was making breakfast when she heard them all come in the front door of her apartment and glanced over at the other sibling, "i hope you're hungry. i'm making omelettes. coffee is ready too if you want some." she paused for a moment to glance back at the food. "how were the boys?"

CLOSED STARTER FOR @nazimxgul

the more sloane thought about it, the more she realized that she wasn't at all prepared to introduce nazim to her boys. more importantly, she wasn't ready for him to meet robbie. sure, neither of them knew the truth but regardless of that, she couldn't bring herself to do it. so, she'd managed to get her parents to watch them for the night so that she could go out on a date. this was a particularly odd time in her life to find someone to be interested in but…she assumed that things happened when she least expected it. looking up from the counter as she bell chimed which indicated someone had walked into the hardware store, she smiled. "i was just closing down the register and then we can get out of here."

CLOSED STARTER FOR @nazimxgul

seeing nazim again wasn’t something she expected would ever happen, if she were being honest. Their one night together all those years ago was, yes, unexpected but something that she didn’t forget in the midst of the chaos that was her life. Wilmington just wasn’t somewhere she thought she’d run into him and as he moved closer to her, she felt her breath catch in her throat. Did he recognize her too? She took in a deep breath, eyes landing on his. “No,” she started in almost a playful tone so that she could play off her nerves, “this seat isn’t taken.”

the last person that sloane expected to see was chloe. at least, not in finishing touches but she assumed if she was here then there was a particular reason for it because this really wasn't the type of place to just browse. sloane didn't at all hate chloe but things between them hadn't exactly ended on good terms and if she were being honest, she wasn't looking forward to how awkward things were about to be. clearing her throat as the other approached the counter, a sigh followed. "find everything you need?" she questioned, giving the other a tight lipped smile.

the whole blackout thing was giving her a bad feeling and despite having just managed to buy her first house on her own, she couldn't help but consider the fact that maybe wilmington wasn't the safest place for her and the boys to settle down. after dropping the boys off at school, she decided to meet up with her brother for some breakfast and talk to him about the fact that she was ultimately worried about what was going on around wilmington. "hey," she breathed out, her hands around her coffee mug as he joined her, "i was beginning to wonder if you forgot about me." she teased lightly.
