Rhiannon had been in town for only a few days, but she was still not used to being back. Everywhere she went, even like today when she was just picking up some groceries, she was bombarded with memories so vivid it was as if she was reliving them. As Rhiannon passed her old high school, she heard a loud, startling pop. Her old olive Forester slowed down as her back left tire lost all of its air. “Okay. You have got to be kidding me,” she groaned, pulling over to the side of the road. Rhiannon got out to inspect the damage. Her tire was completely deflated. Running a hand through her hair, the woman couldn’t help but laugh. Maybe this was an omen about how this visit would go.

Santa freaking Monica. Romeo rolled his eyes at the thought. It wasn't his favorite place in the world. In fact L.A. had become that to him. But here he was. Romeo would do anything for his baby sister nowadays, and if she needed a plus one to a wedding for her high school ex-boyfriend, he'd be that for her. Though he wasn't entirely sure why she wouldn't just RSVP with regrets. Romeo didn't have a lot of memorable places to visit but he was looking to find some form of sustenance. As he drove , he spied a car pulled over to the side of the rode. "Heh, sucker." He said to himself. As he slowed down. "Oh shit, Rhiannon." Romeo rolled his eyes, pulling his truck over to the side of the rode and hopping out. "What did you do dipshit?" Romeo called over to her.

It had been a long day and Marlene was glad it was quitting time. She was ready to go home, change into her pajamas and marathon Friends until she fell asleep – which, considering she couldn’t stop yawning, probably wouldn’t be more than two episodes worth. She was almost finished cleaning the counter when she heard the door and realized she’d forgotten to lock it after the last customer left. “I’m sorry,” she said as she turned, “we’re closed.”

Romeo quickly parked at the curb in front of the Starbucks, leaving his keys in his vehicle and keeping it running. He made his way into the coffee shop, knowing he needed a quick pick me up before heading back to L.A. tonight before work in the morning. "Ugh. You're serious." his entire demeanor changed. "I just need a cup of coffee, I'll even pay you extra."

Nancy walked down the street, almost in her own world when she caught sight of her mom across the road. She turned round immediately, but as luck would have it the way she was heading was the way her mom was walking. She grabbed a wrist of a person who was walking towards her and pulled them round the corner. “Quick, pretend you’re talking to me.” Nancy pleaded, looking over the other person shoulder as her mom came closer.

Romeo was minding his own business. Truthfully being back in Santa Monica just felt weird. It wasn't like visiting home. L.A. was his hometown now. His thoughts were quickly interrupted when he felt someone grab onto his arm. "What the-?" He smiled a little, though his brow was furrowed. "Pretend? I mean, I am talking to you so why should I pretend?" Romeo laughed pulling his wrist back from the girl. "So who'd you see? An ex-boyfriend? Stalker? I've been known to make quite a few ex-boyfriends jealous." He looked over his shoulder to see who she could possibly be hiding from.

“Are you going to help me say hello to spring or am I going to have to do that all on my own?” The dancer asked as she took a sip of her own beer, drinking alone just wasn’t fun, however– finding reasons to drink was fun, hence the need for some company. “If not, that’s fine but you’re going to really piss off spring if you don’t!” Heavyn laughed.

"Drinking just to celebrate Spring?" Romeo smiled to himself raising his beer to clink the bottle against hers. "No I can dig it. Wouldn't want to piss off a season that's responsible for rain and a lot of people's allergies." He laughed. "Besides, no one likes to drink alone."

Nugget number two! Here's some info about Romeo! Romeo was born in Santa Monica, but he didn't live there for long. His parents divorced when he was 7 and he moved with his dad to L.A. He came home every once in awhile to check in on his Mom and his sister Rhiannon. Romeo has never been in a serious relationship, and he has no intention on settling down either. One romantic fling after another has always been the name of the game. He'll do what he can, and say what he needs to say to get with a girl, then he'll give them reason to leave so he doesn't look like the bad guy. It's become an art. Needless to say, he's a nice guy at face value, and becomes super goofy once he knows you. If you find yourself one of his flings though, don't count on ever becoming more than that. Romeo lives in L.A. where he co-owns a bar/restaurant with his Dad. He's got a bachelor's degree in business, and he spent a few terms in culinary school. Romeo is here as back-up for his little sister. Coming to the wedding as Rhiannon's plus one. He doesn't really know anyone since he didn't grow up in Santa Monica. But he runs a great bar in L.A. so he might know someone who is a frequent customer there. if you've got questions or want to plot/connect with Romeo I'm only a message away!
