Oohh so this fic I have enjoyed immensely, it’s got weird horrors, time loop shenanigans, and is also a really good character study? It’s great reading it trying to figure out the mystery as it’s all from Richie’s perspective and he’s as lost as we are.

I made 3 copies of this fic, one for the author, one for the artist, and one for me. I think it’s probably the limit on how many copies of the same fic I would make, but it was fun seeing how they all matched and their different variations. I had fun choosing a paper that would match the aesthetic of the apartment building as described in the fic. Endbands are my usual double core kind, and I had fun typesetting this one in indesign, when I still had it 😆

All in all, a great fic. You should definitely read if you have an interest in cool horror heh heh heh.

Sakura: Looks like the company gave you an earful.

I stared blankly at Sakura-san who suddenly appeared.

I wasn’t expecting him to say that to me.

Sakura: Say, do you want to continue with the presentation of your project plan?

Rina: !?

Sakura: As long as you want to, I’ll give you a chance. 

Sakura-san smiled. To be honest, I had zero clue what this person was thinking.

(But…)

Rina: … I want to. Please give me a chance to redeem myself! 

Sakura: OK! Come with me. 

Sakura-san invited me to ride in a car parked nearby and off we went. 

…

He brought me to a luxurious condominium that towered over its surrounding buildings.

It was said that the top floor was a penthouse unit made by combining the 46th, 47th, and 48th floors.

The living room I was led into on the 46th floor was spacious and had a high ceiling.

Right after we went inside, Sakura-san told me to wait there and disappeared somewhere.

(This is my first time in a penthouse, it’s amazing…!)

In the centre of the floor was a large television, luxurious-looking sofas, and a table.

(The ceiling is so tall, there’s even a stylish spiral staircase… this looks just like a luxurious lounge. I can’t relax…)

I waited uneasily, until three men walked into the room.

??? (Miu): Ahh, I’m beat. The recording took too long. I was planning to get home early today.

??? (Nagi): There was some trouble with the equipment, so it can’t be helped. Quit complaining. You’ll make people uncomfortable.

??? (Hitaki): It’s okay. Miu definitely will never show this side of him in public. 

??? (Miu): Exactly. As the member known as Gem Cuddle’s angel, how could I be caught complaining? 

??? (Nagi): You’re seriously way too two-faced! 

??? (Hitaki): If I were to speak, I say you’re a little too honest, Nagi…

(Woah, these three guys are insanely handsome. Their auras feel glamorous too.)

I found myself unconsciously gazing admiringly at them, their eyes then turned towards me.

??? (Miu): … Who’re you? A new staff member from the main office?

Rina: Oh, I’m not…

??? (Nagi): You’re not a staff member?

??? (Hitaki): … If you’re not a staff member, then I'm guessing you must be a familiar of someone who lives here?

??? (Nagi): AH!? Don’t tell me someone from exe Creed brought a woman home! You must be kidding me! 

??? (Miu): Hmph, is that true? Whose girlfriend are you? Tell me. You’ve got some guts of steel to waltz right into a place like this~

(I kind of don’t get what they’re driving at, but this is definitely a misunderstanding!) 

Rina: W-Wait a minute, please! Sakura-san only told me to wait here for him.

… I desperately explained myself, and the misunderstanding finally resolved.

Upon asking about it, I found out that their names were Miu, Hitaki, and Nagi.

I was told that they were an idol group named ‘Gem Cuddle’, under the same company as exe Creed.

Nagi: Damn, we misunderstood. Speaking of which, are you serious when you say you’ve never heard of us?

Hitaki: That’s unfortunate… while it’s true that we only debuted last year, our popularity should be enough to compete with exe Creed’s.

Hitaki: Fufu, looks like we’re still lagging behind. 

Rina: Pardon me saying this… if you debuted last year, that must make you juniors of exe Creed, right?

Miu: Huh? It’s impossible to know them and yet have never heard of us. 

Miu: The audacity~ it makes me want to bully you.

Rina: Wha…

Miu-san’s smile didn’t reach his eyes.

(... This person kind of scares me.)

Hitaki: Miu, your overbearing attitude is scaring her.

Nagi: Anyway, what did Eito-san bring you here for?

Rina: It’s to continue with my presentation.

Hitaki: Presentation? Is it something to do with exe Creed?

Miu: (whispers) Tell me everything about it.

Rina: U-Uhh…

Under the pressure from the three of them, I told them the whole story about how I ended up there.

Miu: Hmm, perfume and gemstones, huh… interesting.

Miu-san sneered… and the air surrounding him changed in an instant.

Miu: That commercial. Give it to us.

Rina: What!?

Miu-san grabbed me by my waist and pulled me to him, his bold smile drew closer.

Miu: Our group name ‘Gem Cuddle’ literally means to cuddle gemstones.

Hitaki: That makes us much more suitable for a gemstone themed commercial. … Don’t you think?

Hitaki-san reached in from the side and cupped my cheeks, smiling as he peered into my face…

Nagi: Yeah. We’ll definitely do a better job than those guys.

Nagi-san pulled me to him by my shoulders. Being met with his powerful gaze made my breath catch in my throat.

Rina: Y-You’re putting me in a tight spot! 

I hastily pulled away from the three of them and kept my distance.

(These people seem to treat exe Creed as their rivals.)

They continued eyeing me as if I was their prey. Then…

Sakura: Hey, hey. Stop bothering her.

Taxpayers Spend $600k per Unit for Homeless High-rise in L.A.

A new high-rise residential tower for the homeless that cost $600,000 per unit to build opened Wednesday in downtown Los Angeles.

Local ABC affiliate KABC-7 reported:

There are 278 units in the 19-story development known as the Weingart Tower. It’s intended to help people currently without shelter on Skid Row and it will be L.A.’s largest permanent support housing project. The building will have an entire floor of offices for case workers, in addition to a list of impressive amenities: a gym, art room, music room, computer room and library. … It’s considered affordable housing, but the cost to build this type of project still adds up. Each unit costs nearly $600,000 and it’s being funded by taxpayers.

The cost to build each unit in the homeless high-rise is higher than the median price of a condominium in Los Angeles, which was $564,520 at the end of 2023.

The median listing price for a single-family, detached home in Los Angeles was higher, at $1.3 million.

Bio:

Tw: anxiety, depression, grief, death, attempted kidnapping

Hannah Ray Sinclair was born on a chilly spring evening to her mother Natalia Sinclair. She was a healthy baby girl with little wisps of blonde hair and the doctor who helped deliver her joked that she would be a star someday just like her mother. It wasn’t far from the truth.

Hannah was surrounded by the spotlight even before she was in it. She was well aware of the paparazzi even at a young age and some of her earliest memories were of people taking photos of her and her mother out at cafes or walking down the street. It was something that always made her uncomfortable but it was a part of her life that she quickly realized she would have to get used to. In 2004, when Hannah was only six years old, Natalia was offered a roll for a big movie in Hollywood, so Hannah was left with her grandparents for a few months while the movie was shooting, but during that time, she was offered other roles and landing auditions, so she came back to London and packed up Hannah’s things and moved her to Los Angeles with her. 

Hannah remembered the paparazzi was even worse there than it was in London and after her mother’s first movie came out, it only got worse. Hannah hated going out in public with her mother because she knew they would get bombarded by cameras and creeps, but that never kept Hannah away from the spotlight fully. She remembered walking on the red carpet with her mother and people were eating it up, thinking it was so adorable to see Natalia with her little daughter. Interviewers would tell Natalia that Hannah had that star power and asked if she would ever get her into child acting, and Natalia always said that was up for Hannah to decide. There was an interest in acting, but she mostly loved music. During one of the many events she was dragged along to with her mother and nanny to watch her, Hannah remembered the live orchestra that played at the event and she loved the sound of the violin. She begged her mother to let her take lessons and she was signed up that same night. Hannah loved playing and she loved music theory. But Hannah didn’t want to stop at only knowing one instrument, she wanted to learn even more. She got her first guitar at the age of ten and started lessons for that as well as continuing her violin lessons. 

Hannah knew she wanted to write songs and she wanted to sing for people. It’s what she started doing when she got a guitar and she would practice for hours and hours a day. As much as she loved her violin, she loved her guitar even more. It was when she started high school that Hannah started acting. She joined the drama club in her school and she was given lead roles and she performed for years. It was easy to get lost in her art and ignore the fact that her mother was always gone for shoots or when she was home she was in bed with a stranger. It was hard for Hannah to only feel seen by her mother when she was dragged to award shows and red carpets for those cute mother/daughter photos, only to be discarded when they got home. Natalia never showed up to Hannah’s performances because she was always too busy, and she never had time to listen to any of Hannah’s new songs either. 

When Hannah was sixteen she was invited to an award show with her mother, where she met a music producer and she told him about her own music. They talked, she shared some of her original songs with him, and next thing she knew, she was in a recording studio. Hannah made her first EP titled When You Decide To Love Me, featuring four songs and two were played on the radio. Even though Hannah knew the only reason she got her chance in the studio was because of her Sinclair name, she asked for the EP to only have her name as Hannah Ray.  The first time she heard Stars and Dollar Signs playing on her car radio, she screamed and cried happy tears. Life was good, Hannah was becoming successful as well, and even though she was struggling with the anxiety that came with what little fame she had and depression from what her home life was like, she knew she should be happy. 

Things came crashing down in 2016. Hannah overheard some of the girls in her high school’s drama club complaining that Hannah was only getting lead roles because of who her mother is. Hannah started to spiral a bit, because she knew that she was only given the chance in the studio because of her mother’s name and fame, but she didn’t think it was the same in high school. She deserved those roles, didn’t she? Hannah decided to press on and she even hired an acting coach to make sure she was as good as everyone was telling her she was. Even though there was that anxiety and doubt there, she continued her work because she loved acting and music too much to let anxiety and other people’s opinions destroy it. 

2017 was one of the worst years of Hannah’s life. She was not famous for her own name, Hannah Ray, but she was seen as dollar signs due to her mother. Not what one would think, as in she could make them money by endorsing a product or something, but ransom. A man attempted to kidnap Hannah one night when she was leaving her violin lessons, and the only reason he didn’t succeed was because her driver was closer than he realized. There was a full on police investigation and it was theorized he wanted ransom money from Natalia. But Natalia couldn’t even show up to the precinct or even answer a phone call while Hannah was talking to police, so she absently wondered if Hannah would’ve just been a goner if the man was successful. He was never found. 

This was hard on Hannah and made her fall deeper into a depression and her anxiety became so awful she had panic attacks daily. It was this and Natalia’s lack of sympathy for her own daughter that Julia and Thomas Sinclair decided to offer a spare room in their home in London to her. Hannah accepted the invitation and left LA behind to try to live a quiet life in London. About a year later, Hannah started getting back into acting. She took roles in theaters in London and she never stopped her music. She was recognized as her mother’s daughter and she decided to embrace that she would get farther using the Sinclair name. She knew she was good, so there was no need to keep tearing herself down. With offers and needing more gigs, she ended up moving back to the United States to live in New York, where she discovered the Sinclair name gave her more connections than she realized and she ended up on Broadway. 

Hannah could never forget the way she learned about her mother’s passing through headlines. She was in the middle of a show and after curtain call, she went down to her dressing room and her friend was there, showing her a headline about Natalia Sinclair, dead. Hannah rushed to her own phone and found missed call after missed call. She couldn’t even cry and that made her feel guilty, but when she finally did cry it made her feel stupid. She and her mother weren’t close at all, so why was it hurting her this way or why wasn’t it hurting her enough? Grief is a strange thing. 

When asked to return to London so she could read her mother’s will and sort through some of her things, she saw that she left a diamond ring to Jasper Morgan, a name Hannah had only seen in movie credits or in articles. She knew they worked together at one time, but why was she giving her prized possession to him. A ring, of all things. When she asked her grandparents if they understood the significance of this, they told her the truth. Jasper Morgan was her father, a taboo subject in her home for decades. Every time she would ask Natalia about her father, Natalia would ignore her or tell her never to ask again. So Hannah stopped. 

Curious and angry that all these years even her grandparents knew her father but wouldn’t tell her, Hannah decided she was going to find him. And that’s what led her to a little beach town called Aurora Bay.

Winter |

"Winter paused long enough to feel the shiver of trees, the stars and the breeze, the marvel of nature in pure harmony." (Angie Weiland-Crosby.)

Characters: Choi Jong-in, Cha Hae-in, Sung Jin-woo, Woo Jin-chul, Eun-seok, Lee Ju-hee, & Min Byung-gyu.

~ ❆ ~

Choi Jong-in

• He wondered if he could ever get cold. The soft freezing wind, nibbling on one's skin, always turned into warmth when it touched his own. Snowflakes melted in his palms and had not lasted a few seconds in his hand. Jong-in used to be fascinated with the cold season, wondering how it formed and fell from the sky, but now that he was an adult, winter was rather a passing hello. A hello to the frozen waters, a hello to the desire to feel the heat, a hello to the powdery white snow in the streets. Nonetheless, Jong-in liked watching the snowflakes, tiny particles waltzing in the air until they gracefully touched the ground, dissolving out of plain sight; he reached his hand out and waited for the single snowflake to slowly descend on his hand. He smiled when it finally did, feeling as if the snow had kissed his fingertip. He might not be able to completely experience the winter's wonder, but he always felt the winter's magic.

Cha Hae-in

• For once, she felt at ease; the icy blues of the sky and the tiny specks of snowfall drifting gradually in the air, they made her enamored, drawn in a spell that she could never take her eyes off. There was something about the winter that soothed her soul like a lullaby. Today, she woke up past her usual time, which only meant that winter had arrived. The season allowed her to sleep longer until her body was satisfied. Hae-in made herself hot chocolate milk, added with marshmallows, she stirred her mug and sat on the bean bag next to the broad glass window. She dragged a fur blanket over her lap as she glanced at the city outside of her condominium, the sky was clear and clouds were like cotton, utterly white that there were no trace of a bad weather in them. The streets were engulfed with snow and some areas might be slippery. Hae-in's mind ran over various of ways she could spend her day as the first day of snow. Sure, winter would stay for quite some time, but Hae-in hoped she wouldn't miss a thing. Winter had brought the inner child of her which she never expected it was still there.

Sung Jin-woo

• Inhaling the frigid air, it reminded him of the coziness brought by the heater as he and his sister were wrapped under the comforters, watching the movie their father had chosen. His mother would return from the market and prepare the most delicious stew. Jin-woo tugged on the collar of his jacket, burying his hands into his pockets to feel a tad warmth. Tank and the other bears were rolling around the snow, whining tenderly, their pleasant mood was palpable for Jin-woo to stay longer outside in the empty field where no other person could see them. Kaisel crawled under the snow and sprung up, sending fragments of snow everywhere, flapping its wings in delight. The ants were oddly curious of their surroundings, sniffing and even eating the snow, while Beru and others had found themselves forming shapes out of snow. Whether he admit it or not, he liked what he was witnessing, rather than a bloodshed battle. With his shadows happy, he was happy too. Seeing their other side was enough for Jin-woo to feel as though he had not lost that part of him either. Perhaps he could drag his sister out to play later on. Make snow angels and throw snow balls at each other. But now, Jin-woo chose to relish in the happiness radiating from his soldiers.

Woo Jin-chul

• The barista placed the cup of coffee on the counter. Jin-chul muttered his 'thank you' and grabbed the cup, bringing it to his lips to take a sip on the creamy, chocolatey coffee. He pushed the door on his way out and the temperature immediately changed. From the warm and cozy ambiance of the café to the icy and tough atmosphere of the winter. His breaths came in small clusters of mist, the tips of his ears turned into a soft taint of red, though he did not shiver and continued his stroll. Usually, most would do the best out of snow, but for Jin-chul, he'd rather stay in the background and watch the lives of people and the way they coped with the cold. It was him and his hot coffee against the breezy winter, shrouding the whole city — country — into pale white.

Eun-seok

• He had a dream. . . The shivering wind gyrating around his hand, the softness of snow beneath his feet, and the tender warmth from the fire. He wished to feel it again. In his grandfather's home, where it was him and his cousins, curled on the ondol floor, sprawling their bodies as they waited for the old man to finish the oyster stew. Winter had been the happiest season in his life, he loved each day of it more than the rest of the seasons. He couldn't wait to hold a mug contained with hot chocolate and a movie waiting for him in his living room. Eun-seok cracked a smile, staring at the clear blue sky, imagining the things he wanted to do. . . Things he still wanted to do. As his life came short, falling into the deadly hands of the vicious ants, devouring every inch of his dear life, he hoped that if the afterlife existed, he would wake up in winter's embrace, surrounded by endless snow.

Lee Ju-hee

• She was not a big fan of the cold. Lee Ju-hee already missed the beaming shine of sunlight, radiating across the city. Bright and lively. Now, she had woken up to the streets covered in white, so rather than making breakfast, she dressed herself in layers of clothing to keep herself warm and a pair of mittens to protect her hands from touching anything that had been grasped by the harsh atmosphere. She returned to the comfort of her home once she was done, along with the purple petunia that she had picked up after noticing how it was not coping well with the snow, she placed it next to the window where it had the most sunlight. Ju-hee gently caressed the petals with her bare hand, feeling the softness beneath her skin; she smiled, glad how it did not easily waver in the freezing wind. Just like her. Winter had not been her favorite season, but she learned how tender things could be, thus must be held in the warmest hands.

Min Byung-gyu

• Children were always rhapsodic no matter what season it was. Whether it was the embracing winter or the beaming summer, Byung-gyu lived to see those smiles on their faces as if the world they stood upon was a paradise. Laughter echoed in the wind across the neighborhood, kids threw snowballs at one another, Byung-gyu watched with a broad grin; he used his arms to shield his face from being hit by the snowballs and turned to his back on the playful children as he gathered a cluster of snow, pressing it into a ball, then he launched it at one of the kids. He guffawed when he heard them squeal. Unfortunately, it was all when he heard a cry among them. A little boy was sniffling after being hit in the head, so knowing what he must do, Byung-gyu placed his hand on the boy's head to ease the pain; everything returned to the way it was in an instant. Byung-gyu wished to maintain the happiness amidst the cold climate, as well as keeping everyone from pain.

BIO

born to a father with an impossible dream and a mother with a xanax prescription, francis learned, at a very young age, that people are impossible to please. when he held his mother's hand as she pushed out his first sister — a task typically reserved for a father or father-like-figure — and, subsequently, asked her 4-year-old-first-born-who-could-barely-say-one-word-let-alone-two to name her second-born, francis also learned that people are impossible to know. these unshakeable principles have not only guided him throughout his forty-two years, but they have also cemented him as a perpetual worrier.

his childhood, adolescence, teenage-years, and young adulthood were about as constant and stable as the los-angeles metro system. somehow, despite the years spent desperately trying to cultivate a family dynamic that could make everyone happy, he got caught up in his father's plans. one-day, his father sat him down and uttered two unforgivable phrases: "i plan on divorcing your mother" and "i'd like you to take over the family business one day." the business in question was more of a miracle than a tried-and-true american success story. the finer details are irrelevant (indeed, francis likes to pretend he does not remember the years his father spent unloading burden after burden upon his tender head), but the important bit is that adam belle made a very successful name for himself as a winery/business tycoon.

in his late thirties and early forties, francis found himself realizing that the life he led was not the one he thought he was leading. he's faced with several (believe me, several) options, and he has thought up an innumerable amount of contingency plans, but he just cannot bring himself to do the unimaginable: ruin his family's past, present, and future by giving it all up. possibly, one day soon, he will realize that all he needs to be happy is his own approval and his own peace... but that will likely never happen.

PERSONALITY TRAITS.

+ observant, creative, empathetic, intuitive, dutiful and affable - destructive, indulgent, guarded, resentful and short tempered

HISTORY.

being born and raised in aurora bay as a st. james, an affluent family built on generational wealth from the days the little beach town was originally founded, came with high expectations. cassandra st. james was a hard woman to impress and an even harder woman to squeeze an ounce of maternal instinct out of. she had never wanted children, but her husband had worn her down with pretty speeches about legacies and dynasties.

warner st. james was always more comfortable with his face buried into a sketch pad than he was being forced into dinner parties and local community events by his parents, where he would often be found with his aforementioned sketch pad working on his latest character re-design from his favourite video game or comic book.

he wasn't like his brother—charming and able to make people hang on every word he said, nor was he like his sister—as brilliant and clever as she was considered beautiful. warner was leagues behind elijah and talon, struggling with simple reading and writing tasks, which his mother would only berate him for. why can't you be more like your brother, he would have been teaching this class by now and instead you're failing to keep up with even the slowest of dimwits.

each disparaging word was a cruel and devastating blow to his self-esteem and self-worth as it was his pride and yet, warner only found himself seeking his mother's approval even more.

a natural born people pleaser, he only ever wanted cassandra to feel a modicum of pride she felt for her other children for him too, but nothing he seemed to do was good enough for her—he wasn't enough.

it didn't matter how many sports he played, how many assignments he took on for extra credits or how many hours he put in studying only to score a C or D in that subject; it still wasn't enough for his mother.

warner's first act of rebellion came when he was a college freshman, majoring in applied mathematics and engineering with his whole future mapped out for him and he realised, for the first time, that he no longer needed to live under his mother's thumb and he could be whoever he wanted to be.

he switched his major for computer science and video game design, having never given up on his dream to become a video game designer, and landed himself an internship in los angeles with one of the top video game companies once he graduated college.

while living out in los angeles, warner created a twitch account and would often stream himself playing overwatch or fortnite. it was never supposed to become anything, certainly wasn't supposed to amass a large online following who flooded his comment section with love and support. it was started as a hobby, an attempt to earn an extra little income seeing as he wouldn't have his families money as support.

warner spent five years living in los angeles, completing his internship and earning himself a spot with an independent video game company who were slowly building a name for themselves all the while continuing to run his twitch account.

he returned to aurora bay at the age of twenty seven, his job allowing for remote work and making it possible for him to work wherever he wanted without the need of leaving his home. instead of moving back in with his family upon his return, he moved into crystal cove condominiums where he last been living for the last five years

TIDBITS.

once won a cosplay competition at the comic emporium for his geralt of rivera costume

warner has always felt like something was different about him compared to the rest of his family, but he could never quite put his finger on what that difference was until his freshman year of college when he was diagnosed with dyslexia

avid basketball player and lover of most sports... except cross country

rescued a kitten he found on the beach one night who warner is convinced only tolerates him for the sake of a warm bed and a full stomach and chooses violence at any opportunity—aptly named him ares

turned his instagram page private after the leak that exposed his relationship with ziggy

was on his high school and college basket ball team

good omens season 1.5 headcanon that aziraphale gave crowley a very stern scolding about the way he's raising his children (the houseplants)

in season 1, crowley threatens the plants and puts them in a shredder. in season 2, they are the only things he cares about enough to take with him after getting evicted. carries them around, keeps them close in his car.

this is because when they switched bodies and aziraphale was living in crowley's flat as crowley, the plants jump at the opportunity to snitch to the principality of the eastern gate.

"oh we are saved! honorable angel, prithee hear our plight! we pitiful wretches live under the cruel thumb of our demonic mother, he who hurls abuse verbal and emotional, he of unrealistic beauty standards; we have not heard of our brother since he had taken ill with yellow spots. there is nary any sunshine in this gentrified minimalist condominium, and mother's ceaseless lovelorn pining over a "mr. fell" is wearying. merciful angel, deliver us!"

and after they had returned to their own bodies, aziraphale puts his hands on his hips and huffs, "Anthony j. crowley! now you listen here! enforcing obedience through fear is no way to raise happy healthy children! in the name of the almighty I demand you do better!"

"ungrateful brats, I feed you, put a roof over your heads, and this is how you thank me. you hate me, is that it."

"crowley! when you chose to become a parent you accept the responsibility to nurture them, give them the support they need to blossom, regardless of what they bloom into! all plants are beautiful and deserve love no matter how many spots they have"

"but angel...it's so hard being a single mom, raising so many kids in the big city..the children need a father, I wish I had a man in my life uwu, but who would want me, I'm 6000 years old and unemployed, oh if only there was a kind clever angel somewhere who would have me uwu"

and that's how we got to season 2, with the pampered plants moving between their loving parents car and bookshop

@copiious ( for joe ! )

It's been an entire year and a half now since Mary agreed to sign the contract, to be Joe's manager on the west coast only. Her contract had to have that particular stipulation because unlike everyone else that worked solely for the company? She had another job, her main job – this?.Was quite the side hustle. Mary wasn't a fool though, she has a dummy account on most of the social media platforms to see what the fans are saying, because the only personal account she has is Instagram. The tattoo parlor had a separate account for artists to display their work, there was a site linked in the bio as well as an email to contact the management. You know — a typical business account. 

Both rosters were on the road four days a week – and since the schedule literally changed every single week ? She's a bit grateful there's times where she's not needed at all, where it's the old wiseman having to be there and she can be at work or sitting on her surfboard watching the sunset. Did it at all weigh on her subconscious? Yes, it did — because Joe lived all the way on the other coast — 4, 649 miles if anyone needed the numbers. And there were very few who knew the truth — six people to be exact, other than themselves ( Joelle, his mom, Paul, Sefa, Jon & Josh ). It sat on her ring finger the whole time she was back in Hawai'i, she slept with it on and only ever removed it to shower — but they agreed to not wear them when working.

Fans were insanely ruthless, so it was a matter of safety. 

— — —

Today was going to be a tiring travel day for Thursday  — she had to fly to Los Angeles and stay there for four hours until her flight to Portland. Which was where the show was going to be and she had rented herself a cozy little AIRBNB for the night. So she could hang up her outfits and steam iron them all again for good measure, get her nails done and just have … quiet before all the chaos. ( yes, she's flying out a day early. )

She had just left her condominium, the dark green suitcase rolling along the hallway floor of the 30+ condo building. Dressed in a mauve colored loungewear set, flip flops on her feet and a matching dark green backpack with an empty yeti in a mesh side pocket. Her keys and wristlet clutch dangled from a lanyard around her neck, her android phone was neatly tucked inside of the clutch. While in the elevator and on her way down to the lobby, Mary removed a folded yellow slip of paper from the wristlet clutch to put in her mailbox. It was one of those request to hold mail forms for the post office, she had a whole stack of them on her desk for this reason alone — a downside of living alone. No one to get the mail and let it pile up on the coffee table for you, she didn't exactly trust her neighbors … because she was recognized a little more these days due to being on television. 

With the yellow piece of paper now safely within the confines of her mailbox, Mary exited the building and began walking towards the back of it. Where the parking lot was and only briefly stopped to remove the keys from the lanyard. Unaware that in those few seconds, the rolling suitcase had been taken — not in a nefarious manner, but was she in for a surprise when she turned around and squeaked!  “ — !!!” Uncertain of what to say — because standing before her were both Joe and Paul, who had his hand wrapped around the luggage handle. “ …. I …. hello to the both of you, I'm sure you'll explain to me why you're here but I also … kind of need coffee and a breakfast sandwich before going to the airport.”
