It was one of these parties at this rate she had no idea what she was doing. The Icelander smiled but it really felt as if decorated movement, flash, flash, kiss, kiss greeting the people until she managed to get away from them. Behind the cameras, she is nearly hermit, shy. She took a non-alcoholic cocktail, checking the phone if there was any message from the nanny speaking about Lars. It seems everything is under control at home. And that voice she recognized. Damned Knox. The inconvenient guy. She tried to curve herself between some taller people as if she were walking sneakily to where this guy wouldn't see him. But her name was announced right from the mouth of the devil. ❛ Knox, darlin'! Such an honor to see you. ❜ She scrunched her nose slightly, a toothy smile plastered on her delicate features, and her dimples adorning. ❛ You look astonishing dearest. ❜ Words nearly needed a force to escape from her mouth. ( @knoxwallace )

She mused for a second or two pondering on his suggestion, maybe she could use that day of cheating day. ❛ Whipped cream, vanilla or cream ice cream, and English breakfast tea. ❜ She stated, watching him writing her request.

She chuckled at his comment, dimples adorning her cheeks. ❛ So, my little man… ❜ She watched her three-month-old son, awake on the stroller, grabbing his toy. ❛ Maybe he wants his milk warm. ❜ She opened her purse picked up his baby bottle with the milk in it, and handed it to Roman. ❛ If it is not a problem for you that's it. ❜ Lars was hectic inside the stroller, with his toy in his hands.

"blueberry, you got it. you want it with anything? some whipped cream, or a scoop of ice cream? anything to drink?" roman ask, stopping his cleaning to find a order pad, hidden back there somewhere. he whipped out a pen from his apron.

"well, apple, cherry and blueberry are our staples, so they're here pretty much every day, unless there is an issue. and the other three were made by me, so it would be a bit embarrassing if i forgot them from this morning." roman chuckled, giving her a wink.

"do you need anything for the little one?" roman asked, using his pen as a pointer towards the baby. "we can heat milk or formula, if you need it warm."

Briar Rose was slowly starting to back to her feet. She was fighting a depression, which made her isolated from people for a little while, and it was for the best to live in this city, away from the chaos of Los Angeles. On top of all, on maternity leave, giving all the attention to Lars. She left her son with the nanny and went on a date with the guy she matched on a dating APP.

He seemed like a nice guy, and she was a bit nervous because it had been a while since she had dated somebody or gone out for a date. She only went on various dates in her roles, but behind the scenes, she was utterly shy. Nobody could tell she was shy; she knew how to disguise herself well.

As usual, she was very punctual, and she arrived at the table to meet him. ❛ Is it Donny? ❜ She inquired coyly, pulling her long strands behind her ear. ( @donnymorgan )

Briar Rose smiled, it was endearing seeing him blush. ❛ I think you should listen to your grandfather. He's right. Maybe you can have a gallery on your own one day with your masterpiece, but only if you're into that. ❜ She clasped her hands together. ❛ So, can I have your number to hang out with you, if you would like? ❜

"Oh...that's awesome....I am good at....ice skating. My friend and...I skate a lot...during winter in Boston..." he spoke in a soft voice. Orion smiled and blushed, turning red for a moment. "Thanks....so much....I have been drawing....since I could remember....it seems...art runs in my...family," he answered with a smile before looking at Briar Rose, his cheeks still red. "I have not...my grandfather....suggested I should take...some art classes and...do something...with it,". @briarrosedahl

[briarrosedahl]

❛ I'll go with Blueberry then. If it is not available then I shall try the apple pie. ❜ She shifted her gaze from the cakes / pies to him, letting a sympathetic smile adorning her delicate features, with dimples showing, and she flipped her hair with the back of her hand. ❛ I'm amazed at how you memorize all those pies. ❜

"well, we've got the classic apple, cherry, blueberry. for the post-christmas season, we've got chocolate hazelnut pie, pecan pie and mile-high cranberry meringue pie." roman listed off, counting the pies off with his fingers. "that's it, today's six pies. any taking your fancy?"

[briarrosedahl]

Briar Rose went to do a small stroll with her son, he was two months old and was inside his stroller. She sat on the bench, nearly startled at the voice of Roman, that came out of nowhere, and she realized he was near her and a hand rested on her chest. ❛ Ohhh, okay. Is there any suggestion of flavors to try? ❜ She was feeling a bit adventurous today but it can change, initially she wanted try a cheesecake but then why not try new things? ( @romanrhodes)

"don't worry, we still have pies." roman assured them, flashing a smile as he pulled his head out of the empty pie cabinet. "we had a messy accident with a slice of cherry, so i'm just cleaning it up. the pies are in the back."

[briarrosedahl]

She blushed at his comment, shaking her head. ❛ Ahhh, stoop! ❜ The Icelander never knows how to accept a compliment and smirk softly. Upon his next words. ❛ I will ask Lars if I can. Lars, can I? ❜ She jests as she looks at her asleep son inside of the stroller. ❛ He said yes. So, let's go! ❜ She begins to pull the stroller. ❛ Is there anywhere here that become your favorite place, or not yet? ❜ ( @benjaminxjackson)

"You are welcome Briar Rose. I am not surprise you gave him a beautiful and wonderful name when you have one of the most beautiful names ever," he spoke with a smile and wink on his face. Ben chuckled at his friend's words. "Well, honestly this chef tends to find work to do on days he has off but since I am trying something new. He is grabbing coffee and just exploring town and letting his legs lead him. Would you like to join me for coffee?" @briarrosedahl

[briarrosedahl]

Briar Rose looked at the other, her sheepish smile still remaining on her features. ❛ I'm ok. I'm glad to hear that. ❜ "Ok" was a good definition, she wasn't great but also not as terrible as she was. Either way, she was genuinely happy for her. Her grey-bluish hues uphold a certain kind of sadness that is nearly part of her personality, even before the circumstance. The Icelander nodded to assured the other she was listening to her and tried to sneak up, the other people playing to get a notion of how it was going to work, and then joined Haven in the bee line. ❛ Things are just 'going'. I managed to sleep, that's why. And my friend is watching over Lars. ❜ Unfortunately, she was one of those people that suffered of insomnia. ❛ And you look glowing! Is there anything new? I never had anything else to say because it is just me and Lars so. ❜ Her family hardly talks with her. They cancelled the Christmas, and uninvited her to the New Years, so she will probably spending another day at home, or she might check if any of her friends will attend a party to participate and bringing Lars with her. ( @havenbsinclair)

Haven offered the other a small smile, resting her arms at her side once the hug was released. She'd always appreciated the other's company, and even now that she didn't see her as much due to circumstances, Haven was still happy to have the other's company. "I've been pretty good myself, how are you?" she smiled, letting her eyes look over the other for a moment. Briar was beautiful by nature, but Haven couldn't deny that there seemed to be a glow about her that hadn't been there before. She chose not to comment on it, though instead offering the other an explanation to the game. "I think we just toss these rings and hope they land on the reindeer." she spoke, watching to see if anyone in line was up to go next to maybe get an idea of how the game was supposed to go. With a shrug, though, she took their place in line and offered the other a small smile. "How are things with you? I have to say you look great today." @briarrosedahl

[briarrosedahl]

She looked at Beyza glad that at the least there was one place to sit. And sat across from her, with a sheepish smile and her cheeks blushing due to her shyness. ❛ Are you a local? ❜ She inquired curiously, feeling kind of bad for interrupting the other reading, and feeling a few eyes on her because she noticed a few people seemed to recognize her due to her work. ❛ Is the Holidays here always crowded? ❜ ( @beyzaxalpman ).

Beyza was going over her list of Christmas presents when she heard a voice and looked up to see a woman standing there. Smiling at her, she nodded and pointed to the chair. "Sure. Go ahead." She closed her book and put it aside so she didn't come off as rude. "I swear this place gets busier during the winter. Everyone comes for a seasonal hot drink and to catch up with anyone here for the holidays." @briarrosedahl

Briar Rose was in a way isolating herself from the people, not that she had many people but after her husband passed away, it was too much for her to handle everything, and on top of that being pregnant. ⎯ She was glad to have a friend like Haven, although she met her through the F1 and her husband was on the opposite team. ⎯ Sometimes it is hard to be around Haven, because she thinks of her husband. However, she does not dwell much on the past. The time she was spending with Gavin was making her forget about some sadness. She went to check the event and her friend Gavin was with her son. ❛ Hi! ❜ The Icelander smiled sheepishly because she is shy, and hugged her back, before pulling away. Upon her suggestion. ❛ Let's try this reindeer thing. I have no idea how it works. How's the things going? ❜

Haven had met Briar at formula one racing over the course of the year she'd been attending with her now fiance' Julian, and while it had taken her a bit to get to know the other, there was a sense of comfort in finding yourself socializing with someone who just understood it. Not to mention, there was a part of Haven that appreciated being present in the other's life. When Briar's partner had passed - a member of Julian's own team - she'd taken the opportunity to put the other under her wing, allowing herself to be there for the other during her harder times. Of course, this seemed to lead to a nice little friendship; it had been so nice to have someone that also understood how Haven felt; there weren't many people in Haven's personal life that understood the shoes she was in in regards to Julian's career. So, after arriving at the festival with Julian the two separated, Julian spending sometime with Haven's son Lake while Haven took the opportunity to spend some time with her friends and other family. Briar was one of those people, and once she'd found her friend in the crowd of people Haven offered her a wave as she made her way to the attractions and games Briar seemed to be standing closest to. "Hey you." she smiled, offering the other a small hug as she stood next to her. "We aren't too far from the Reindeer Ring Toss, did you want to try that out or is your heart saying do something else first?"

[briarrosedahl]

Briar Rose hadn't expected to hear those words from him, and it made her blush even harder at this compliment, and made her smirk nervously, why the fuck was she nervous? ❛ Thank you, Gavin. ❜ Oh, really? She couldn't think a better words to respond to his comment, in fact, she never knew how to answer or react when somebody compliments her. In fact, she feels a little awkward.

And she never met a guy as funny warming, and caring as him, and a 'friend' that she could count on every hour. Her dimples was showing on her cheeks as she smiled at him, giving a besotted glance into his eyes. ❛ That will be an honor for me to try them, then… ❜ Her gaze dropped to his lips briefly, the Icelander was leaning closer to him, now her lips inches apart from his.

She was having a mental battle whether she kissed his lips or not, her hot breath was hitting his chin, but a noise from something in the house startled her, and she pulled away from him, shifting her gaze for elsewhere and she cleared her own throat. She picked a plate, and waited for him to serve himself to follow his 'leads'. The next topic caught her a bit off guard.

❛ My family isn't like yours. They are quieter. ❜ Way more quieter than his, to be clear. ❛ I'm the only woman of three brothers. Also the least favorite child. ❜ It could be seen as a drama for outsiders but unfortunately, she wasn't being dramatic. ❛ They are a little cold… They don't like my work as well. That's why I had none when Lars was born. I did call for my parents but they couldn't make it and were too busy for it. They said on the next holiday I could bring him if I want. I reckon, they only know Lars through tabloid pages. ❜ She shrugged her shoulder nonchalantly and sighed ruefully, putting the famous roast chicken of his grandmother.

"barbie" celebration party | 2023

[briarrosedahl]

She gathered the items he grabbed for her, and she thanked him, grey-bluish hues locked on the dog. ❛ Oh, right. ❜ Upon his question… ❛ I'm good, and my stuff is also fine… I reckon. ❜ Briar Rose quickly checked inside of the bags, but she got majority of things clothing, and a few toys to gift Gavin's niblings. ❛ And for my body, I'm fine too. What's the breed of your son? ❜ ( @archiemorgan )

Handing any items that he could, Archie wrapped the leash around his hand a bit so Gatsby couldn't get too far. "True, though he's usually the biggest baby and a mush," he tilted his head to give his dog a stern look and shook his head. "Honestly I have no idea, I don't think he's ever met a cat before," he gave the other a shrug. "Are you okay though? I mean sorry about your stuff, but you? No bumps or bruises?" @briarrosedahl

[briarrosedahl]

Briar Rose smiled when he kept on roleplaying as her boyfriend so the other guy would leave her alone. ❛ Thank you. ❜ She bites her bottom lip in sort of flirty way, as if she was throwing charm for River and the guy observes her from afar, hoping he would buy their 'scene'. She chuckled when he whispered at her. ❛ I never met a guy as pretty as you, handsome. ❜ She says to him and the male who was hitting on her nonstop, approaches her table and hears her words, and finally seems defeated to notice she is in a new companion. ❛ Y'know what is fair? If I pay a drink for the favor. What do you want to drink?❜ ( @riverxjackson )

Hearing what she said he looked over at her and smiled at her for a moment. "Babe there you are" he said as he had never been with a female before or dated really but he knew he could play up the part well. "But I got you" he winked at her as he pulled her close to him and looked at her in the eyes. Now that she was close, I smiled at her and whispered, "You know I have never been with a woman before," he teased, acting as if he was flirting with her. @briarrosedahl

[briarrosedahl]

Briar Rose looked at him, giving a weak smile. ❛ Good. ❜ At least one of them is having a good time. The Icelander did not know what to say. ⎯ ❛ No. I'm here for a little while. Undetermined time. It was a bit too much in L.A. and a lot of questions about my husband. I want a bit of isolation with my son. ❜ People did not let her in peace, always getting on a sore topic with her and having technically a newborn that needed her care on top of it all trying to be strong. ( @julianxhawthorne )

"Doing good." Or rather, he was on top of the world. But he didn't need to rub it in Briar's face. The fact that he was set to get married, expecting twins, won another championship in the sport that killed her husband. At least she had her child, which was a cruel thing to say, for he knew she wanted her husband, but it was a silver lining if one was to be found. He knew that if it had been him, not having Haven would take the colour from his life. "You're here visiting?" He eventually said to break the silence, not knowing what brought her to Kismet Harbor. @briarrosedahl
