Loraine looked up at the voice and smiled a little bit. "You could say that." She sighed and thanked her while taking the napkins and dabbing her shirt and pants with them. This was probably going to stain and that was rather annoying. "I have the worst luck in the galaxy." She shook her head placing the now coffee covered napkins on the table. "I'm just glad that I didn't spill it over my computer." She said gesturing to the small MacBook that sat on the table. It would have been an absolute nightmare to have to replace her computer at this point.

Paisley arrived at the coffee shop just in time to see Loraine's coffee make a dazzling appearance—-on her clothes. She winced sympathetically and beelined towards the counter to pick up a handful of napkins before making her way over to her friend's table. "That kind of day?" she asked, somewhat teasingly, her southern twang adding an affectionate lilt to her voice. She'd come here for a bit of peace and quiet herself, hoping to take some pictures or maybe write a poem while she was here, but far be it for her to turn down the company she'd come across.

She offered the napkins to Loraine as she sat down across from her, letting out a quiet sigh. It was getting hot outside and while heat was nothing new for her, she wasn't exactly a fan of it. She'd been hoping to experience cooler temperatures by escaping the south, but perhaps that was her mistake. After all, it was far from winter and the heat was only just approaching the north.

Ah the Gwen he loved dearly took the bait he had laid out and did exactly as he expected her to do. "I swear they look better than normal" He said leaning over to take in her outfit once again making a bit more of a show then before. He leaned back into his seat and raised his eyebrows at her. "You'd dress up just for me?" He asked moving to lean in. "How very forward of you Gwen." Ben smirked at her. "You look rather stressed. Who is bothering you?" He gestured to her cell phone that she had clearly placed in time out on the table.

Gwen's fingers moved across the screen of her phone as she waited. Today had been one of the few times a month she actually had to appear in court, and it hadn't been any fun. Her client had all but thrown the case, and even her skills only did so much to save his ass. She'd known from the moment she woke up to Ben's text that meeting up with him would be the highlight of an otherwise unbearably long day, and seeing the smile on his face as he slid in across from her did nothing but prove her right.

She tipped her head at him, brows furrowing curiously. "These are my work clothes," she said. For as long as she'd known Ben, she could never quite understand some of the things he said. Firing off the email she'd been furiously typing out, she locked her phone and set it face-down on the table. "If I'd known you wanted me to dress up, I would have, though. You could've just told me, silly.

Colton smiled as his friend opened the door. "You're extremely boring today." He said poking his friend on the nose. He didn't even have any plans. Why would Yunho be so rude? Colton rolled his eyes as his best friend continued to say silly things that he didn't mean. "That is simply not true." He said pushing past Yunho and into his house. "For the record I didn't have any plans I just wanted to hang out because I missed you." He whined going over to lay on his couch. "How mean of you to not want to hang out with me."

"—-No," Yunho said upon opening the door. Nothing good ever came of Colton showing up at his place out of the blue. More than once, Yunho had feared for his life or his squeaky clean nonexistent criminal record. He loved his best friend, dearly and truly, but he would get them thrown in prison one day. "Whatever you're thinking, I'm not doing it with you."

Autumn saw out of the corner of her eye someone slid into the seat next to her. Initially she didn't think anything of it, there was only one other seat left open so it made sense for them to sit next to. It wasn't like she was holding the seat hostage. Though everything changed when she heard the voice of the person who had filled the seat next to her. No...there was just...no way...how many people lived in this city....it had to be in the millions. Yet she ran into the one person she knew was potentially in this town...and the same person she never thought she'd ever see again. "Cade...Well currently I'm having dinner and drinking...thought that was a bit obvious." She said gesturing to her glass. "Thanks for the offer but you don't have to cover me." She looked at the bartender. "It's really.." She stopped short as the bartender handed Cade his card back. Too late.

Cade had been back in New York City for years, and he had a love/hate relationship with the city. While he loved the hustle and bustle along with the wide variety of cultures in his home city, there were parts of it that he was tired of. Still, after a long day at the gallery, Cade walked towards the nearest bar to grab a bite and possibly a drink. Without thinking twice, he walked to sit beside a woman who looked gorgeous and spoke to the bartender. "Can I get a serving of Glenfiddich neat, and cover what this beautiful woman is getting beside me," he said easily as he handed his card over. Cade nearly fell out of the seat when he looked and saw none other than his ex girlfriend. "Autumn? What are you doing in the city?"

Where: Loraine's Apartment

Loraine swore she wasn't allowed to leave. Nope she wasn't allowed to set one foot out of her apartment until everything on her to do list was complete. The problem with this was that Loraine was having massive executive disfunction and couldn't even be bother to put her dishes away. She had already texted all her friends begging someone to come put her out of this absolute misery.
