"It's about time," Renee tapped her foot impatiently in a teasing manner as she watched Prue walk out from the back room. "I was beginning to think that you were standing me up." In which Prue had never done to her. The other was one of the only people that Renee really felt like she could trust in her life besides Jaxon and yet, they meant different things to her. Like her heart did not flutter when she saw Jaxon, but it did when she saw Prue.

STARTER FOR @untilthcyrot from Cassidy

The neon glow of the bar sign flickered lazily against the darkened alley, casting shadows that danced around Cassidy as he leaned against the brick wall. His arms crossed and he looked over the hot of his sunglasses (yes, he was wearing them at night, like the song). He flashed a roguish grin. ❝Come on now ... Don't be like that.❞ His voice was sing-song, playful.

He sighed softly, pushing the sunglasses up into his already disheveled hair. ❝I've never really met anyone else like us. We can at least talk about it.❞ His usual demeanor had changed a little bit. He wanted to learn more about himself. He'd figured it all out on his own, so meeting someone else gave him a bit of hope or something.

location: mad monk, wine and cheese pairing

Looking forward to a little me time, Julieta headed down to Mad Monk where the local wine and cheese pairing class was taking place. She wanted to be able to have a more balanced set of taste buds for the two and figured this was one way to get started. Having not opted to attend the class with anyone, as most of her friends were unable to drink alcohol at the given moment. As she moved towards and empty table, she was met by someone else arriving at the table at the same time. Julieta was ready to give it up, though noticing there was no other open tables before looking up at the other. When she did, she knew immediately who was there. "Oh, hi, Summer," she cooed, "I'm Julieta."

It had been hard for Manny to sleep the night of the party, having decided to go home with Gina to make up for his absence earlier. She seemed to brush it off easily but she did mention how weird he had been acting ever since he knew Cass would be back in town. He couldn't deny it either. His head had been spinning and he had spent most of the night with his eyes fixed on the ceiling. But the next day he had tried to be more optimistic and was sure that everything would blow over. But Cass hadn't called him or texted him. He hated to admit how much he looked at his phone and he watched the hours tick by, assuming that she was well on her way back home. It hurt to know he might not see her again or that last night would be the last impression she had of him. It had his stomach in knot all day and he tried not to think about it too much. Maybe it was a reminder for him to get back to his every day life, focus on Gina and his family and his business. Maybe his heart had longed for her long enough.

Despite all of that, it didn't mean he still wasn't thinking about her as the night crept in and he was finally done with work for the day. Gina was busy with her friends so he figured a few beers and catching the football game wouldn't hurt. That and his buddy who owned the bar had just started expanding the food menu and he was eager to get something solid into his stomach. But as soon as he walked in, he felt the difference and his eyes found her immediately. "Cass?" He said it lowly at first, there was no way she heard him, especially given the way she was leaned against the bar, drinking down with what he could only assume one of many. She really was such a lightweight.

"You know you might want to save some of that for the rest of us," he told her, everything flooding back to him in an instant as he took the seat next to her. "I thought you left." @itsrogersandco

Visiting Quentin in the hospital had taken a toll on the man. He hated seeing any of his siblings in pain and when Quentin had another visitor, the man opted to take his leave, take a few laps around the hospital before he'd see what Amayah wanted for dinner. As he walked the length of the hallway, Wesley did a double take as he walked passed a door. His eyes had scanned inside, only to realize he knew the person in the bed. He backed up, taking a few steps before standing in front of the door. "Summer?" He was stunned to see the woman, "What happened?"

Hearing that Summer was in the hospital tore at the man's heart strings. Though they had long been out of high school, his recent reconnection with Summer had reminded him of much he enjoyed having her in his life. Flowers in tow and some snacks the grocery store that he thought she still might like, Abel headed up to her room, "Hey," he knocked on the door, "up for a little visit?"

Money was something that never surrounded Hudson as a child. His family moved from place to place before his father settled in California and began to build an empire. "Cassidy Auctions" became one of the most prestigious auction houses, and soon, Hudson was being handed things on a silver platter. The change was odd, but it soon consolidated itself as something to be protected.

Hudson couldn't go back to being nothing again. He wouldn't allow it. His father reared him, his only heir, in the ways of the business. His philosophy was: "Leave it to the man that came from nothing to know the value of everything.'' Hudson had that line engraved in his mind for so long; he got sick of hearing it. The prestige came with certain privileges. Hudson never saw himself as much of a gambler, but he was a willing companion to the casinos and other establishments.

Never anything illegal, of course; Hudson wasn't stupid. It was immoral for him to pay people that forced women to sleep for money. Call it his mother being in his ear about respect. That being said, Hudson walked through the hotel doors, where his dark eyes caught sight of a head full of red hair. The sight alone was enough to make him smile.

With a deep inhale, Lucky breathed in the salt air and stillness that the late hour provided. He's doing his best to not spark up one of the cigarettes that lurked in the box in his pocket, having managed to put sixteen hours between himself and his last one that seemed like it would be a shame to waste.

He nudges his phone that rested on top of the box in the sand beside him, checking both the time and his lockscreen for any incoming messages that might indicate that Cass hadn't intended to arrive as planned.

[heirceleste]

@gccdstories cass & ivan from the ask

she could scream, in fact she just might. doesn’t give a damn if ivan out ranks her. cassidy has intel, something that should go straight to the general and no one else. “please, this is important. i got intel today from a source and it needs to go directly to him,” cassidy pleads. doesn’t much care what ivan thinks right now, only cares about passing along the information she received relating to druskelle in ravka.

“how often do i interrupt him? or ask to pull him from meetings? you’re more than welcome to call the guards on me but it won’t end well for any of us.” ivan is trustworthy and cassidy knows this, but she also knows that the hall isn’t a secure place to pass along information, and that the darkling should be the first one to know.

"Ugh," she groaned, plopping down on the couch next to her best friend, "I am so glad to be off of work and to have my best friend here," it wasn't unlike the two of them to get together after Renee got off working at the bar and grill, even if it was past midnight, "how was your day? Hm? Tell me about it, I feel like we haven't caught up in so long," and realistically, it had only been a few days since the two of them had seen one another.

STARTER FOR @apurekindness from Cassidy

❝I'm sorry, love, but I don't know if we've met before.❞ Cassidy started to say. But the wheels started to turn in his head, he remembered. He had shown up at the hospital, like he often did when he was hurt. It wasn't to receive medical care. It was to sneak off to find the blood supply so he could heal himself. He didn't prefer feeding on live beings ... especially humans. That was a big no. But if the blood was already available? Fuck it.

❝Oh, yes! You were the lovely lady from the hospital that I talked to. I was the one ... covered in blood. It's a miracle, really. I'm feeling much better than I was the other day.❞ He often thought that wondering into the ER would keep him anonymous. There were so many people in and out, did any of the doctors or nurses really notice him? Apparently this one had.

After meeting with Cameron a few weeks ago, Parker had practically become a recluse. The music shown to her by her ex had sent her into a mini spiral, knowing that she had royally fucked up. The news of an annual wine month brought her out of the apartment with the shades drawn. Signing up for one of the wine tours, Parker knew there was typically one sure way to make herself forget her problems - regardless that it was the healthiest of coping mechanisms. The tour had yet to start yet and Parker stood off to the side, scrolling on her phone. The dreary weather had not put her in the best of moods and she was already regretting coming to the tour, especially as the the tour guides chipper voice sounded, causing her to step forward - and unknowingly, her driver's license falling from her back pocket from how she had been leaning against the wall.

After waiting a respectable amount of time following the last customer's exit from Oceania, so as not to make them feel like he'd chased them out of the store, Auggie headed up to the front and locked the door, flipped the sign in the window from 'open' to 'closed.' He turned and was mentally cataloguing what needed to be done before he went home when his eyes caught the sole of a shoe poking out from behind a bookshelf.

His eyebrows furrowed, but it didn't take long for him to realize who it was. He'd seen Cass when she'd come in earlier, but the store had been so busy at the time that he hadn't been able to do much other than greet them. He hadn't noticed them leave, so he made the easy deduction.

With a fond smile on his lips, he headed over and stopped when he was standing over her, crossing his arms. "You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here," he said teasingly. "We can't have me locking you in here again."

[h3rtzoom]

Manny had know for months that he would be seeing Cassidy at their siblings graduation. Years even considering how close their siblings had remained. A better version of them he had always thought. Maybe in the back of his mind he had been counting down to this moment but none of it could have prepared him for what it felt like to finally set eyes on her again. It was bizarre to think that they had lived so much life without each other. He had so many questions, so many things he still wanted to tell her despite it all but he wasn't sure he'd even get the chance. His brother had told him that she was seeing someone and that someone was likely to be at the graduation. He hadn't thought of inviting his girlfriend to the event, feeling it was more of a family thing but now he was sorely regretting his decision.

Still, there he was, playing with his tie as he walked with his parents, grandparents and older sisters to find their seats. They had all been chatting about meeting up with Cassidy's family, the two staying close despite their separation. He hated wearing suits but he had promised his brother and his mother that he would clean up nicely, especially for the family photos.

He saw her before she saw him, his heart still feeling like it was skipping beats, the butterflies still the same as it had been when he was seventeen. She somehow looked so different and so much the same. And he couldn't help his smile, even as he noticed the guy holding her hand. He waited until she was close, swallowing thickly when their eyes met. "Hey Cassie. Been a long time." That was an understatement. He hesitated, unsure of what the proper thing to do was but he leaned in for a hug, one that was quicker than he would've liked. "It's really good to see you. Did you grow a few inches?" He did his best to lighten the mood, putting it off as long as he could before he cleared his throat and held out his hand for her boyfriend. "Hey man, nice to meet you. I'm Manny." @itsrogersandco

Wesley had seen Summer a short few days ago on the day that he had been going to visit Quentin. Instead of approaching the blonde then, he had quickly evaded the cafe and headed back to his own place. He didn't know what to make of her return and wasn't quite sure how to feel. However, he was placed back in front of her again. He spotted her when he walked into Patty's Cafe, "Summer, hey, stranger," he approached, rubbing his hand against the back of his neck.
