"You do look kind of disappointed," she replied, her chocolate coloured eyes meeting hers for a short moment. Maybe they'd just mucked her coffee order up. "Why the heck would you need dating apps though?? Have you not seen your face? Surely you've got men...women, everyone? Falling at your feet?"

"Now that would've been nice, a date I mean. I have been very MIA on my dating apps that I sort of gave up entirely." April said as she flipped through her sketchbook and chuckled lightly, "Do I really look that pathetic with a sad look on my face or something?"

Elle quickly reached for the gummy bears she'd claimed, a bright grin on her face as if she won a prize. Gummy bears were just her favorites. she then added the mini cinnamon donuts to her pile of goodies for the night. Clearly she had a sweet tooth, for now. "Alright, what's the vibe of the night? I'll help. They might have some chicken nuggets in the heater thing."

"The gummy bears are all yours, babe," Sebastian said with a charming smile. "I like them every once in a while but I have to be in the rare mood for them, you know?" His attention turned back to the snack display, deciding if he should get something else or just stick to the one treat. "Of course not. I support you getting all the snacks that make you happy. I'm thinking about getting some more myself, but I'm not quite sure what yet."

"Guilty," she replied, looking at her laptop with a big sigh. Really she wanted to close it and enjoy her coffee in peace. "Between the caffeine and the wifi, it's got everything a girl needs, plus the music's pretty good in here." All of these things she had at home, but she needed to be out and about. "Gotta admit though, your meeting sounds a lot more exciting even if they are late. Sounds like they owe you another coffee, plus some breakfast."

Idly folding the small napkin dampened with the condensation of her cold brew, Jac's sights only lifted at the direct confrontation. "Date?" she echoed, eyebrow arching inquisitively. "No. Not to be any type of way, but a 9AM coffee is not an ideal date." She held up her phone with a wry smile. "Meeting a client. They want to rent out for a wedding reception, but if this is their punctuality, I'm not sure they'd be on time for their own vows." One quick glance over at the other woman and the paperwork felt like an indicator. "This your office for the morning?" she inquired, hand circling around the sweating cup of her coffee.

open for @windsorbaystarters where: mug shot cafe

Elle claimed a small corner in the busy cafe with an oat milk vanilla latte and an almond croissant parked on the table in front of her. She'd been sitting there doing admin, and it was driving her a little bit nuts. Not something she'd ever get really used to. "Okay," She turned to the person next to her, who looked a little lonely. "What happened, your date stand you up or something?"

"You know, talking to yourself is the first sign of madness," Elle folded her arms across her chest as she observed the male and his mushroom problems. Unfortunately, she knew exactly what it felt like. Everything was very specific and whilst Elle was a Virgo and a control freak, it was annoying when they didn't have the right things. "You gonna have to change a dish, or something?" She questioned with a small sigh, should she be helping fellow restaurant owners in town? Maybe not. "Call the chef, see if he's got any other suggestions?" @teddykharris

Open Starter: @windsorbaystarters

Location: Morning Harvest

More often than not, Teddy finds himself at Morning Harvest. It's almost funny, thinking back on his life and how things could have panned out so differently. He has no idea where he'd be if things had worked out the way they were supposed to, but then again, back then, he had no idea that cooking would ever bring him a sense of calm. And calm, it did. There was no better feeling, now, in the middle of a busy morning, cranking his music up and letting it all go. Nothing but the sound of sizzling bacon and the smell of coffee to put a proverbial pep in his step.

What didn't bring him calm, however, was shopping for ingredients. For the restaurant, it was one thing. There was a set routine, an inventory. He had people to make sure he was ready for every day, and he managed the responsibilities just so, so that he'd not have to sweat the small stuff and could just cook. But for himself? For his own apartment and cooking for others in his free time? It puts him on edge.

Today he finds himself standing in front of the produce, spiraling over mushrooms. "The recipe called for enokis. There are no enokis. There have always been enokis. Shiitakes are not going to cut it for this and god forbid I use a button." He didn't realize he was muttering to himself, his head lost in his own dissociation.

The redhead glanced over her shoulder as her hand hovered above a packet of sour gummy bears -- however, she had been going between that and the rice krispy treats. Eleanor was on her way home from Maple Grove a little earlier than she normally would be. She was exhausted and her sleep pattern was all over the show, so she decided to leave early. "As long as you don't steal my gummy bears," she replied, picking them off the shelf and then she looked at the rest of the cabniet, tilting her head. "Will you judge me if I get the mini donuts and the gummy bears though?"

Who: open to everyone @windsorbaystarters

Where: Picket Pantry

On his way home from an audition that was outside of the city, Sebastian made a quick pit stop to Picket Pantry to refuel with a soda and a snack. It was nearing almost ten o'clock at night and there were only a handful of cars int he parking lot. The bell on top of the door rang as he stepped inside, making a beeline for the fountain drinks. Since it was late into the evening, he opted out of any caffeinated beverages out of fear that he'd be awake for the rest of the night. Once his cup of Sprite was complete with a lid and straw, Sebastian wandered into the snack aisle to browse the selection. He wasn't quite sure if he wanted something sweet or savory, so he opted for one of each. A bag of BBQ chips was his first pick, while he eyed one last Rice Krispy treat. However there was another person close by who seemed to be looking in that general vicinity. "Do you mind if I grab the last Rice Krispy treat? Or did you have your heart set on it?" he asked with a charming smile as he approached the person.

biography:

Eleanor was born into wealth, growing up she never had to worry about anything and she always got what she wanted. it was basically tradition to become a lawyer in the Sinclair family, and then marry someone from law school. her parents had done it, same with her grandparents. she and her siblings were expected to do the same so there was a certain pressure on her growing up to do well, and get good grades. Elle would never admit it but she never felt good enough. Eleanor avoided college for a year after she finished high school, she promised her parents she would go once she had traveled the world and that’s exactly what she did.

at 19 she left for New York and enrolled in law school. quite frankly, she struggled with all the work - it wasn’t that she wasn’t smart enough because she was it was because she really didn’t want to be there. She stuck it out and even met a boy in her second year and that’s when she finally believed maybe she could get through. usually she wasn’t the type to be dependent on someone but that’s very much how their relationship was - they went every where together. yet, somehow he still found the time to cheat on her. she was in her last year when they she found out by snooping through his Snapchat and finding numerous explicit messages.

a month or two later she was sitting on her bathroom floor staring at a positive pregnancy test. her world was falling apart and she couldn’t even bring herself to tell her ex about the baby growing in her stomach - she didn’t even want the baby growing in her stomach. but the universe had other plans - a week after finding out she was in hospital undergoing emergency surgery due to an ectopic pregnancy.

after that Ellie was quick to drop out of college even though she only had a semester left. her family were extremely disappointed and was too stubborn to even share with them what had happened aside from the breakup, so she returned home. Before giving the chance to let her parents cut her off, Eleanor brought the lease to Maple Grove, determined to turn it into a hotspot to prove to her parents she could do anything, and she did.
