Ethan truly struggled to get out of bed this morning, a feat that usual came as easy as breathing, was damn near impossible, but he pushed through anyway, not wanting to give into any sort of laziness. Always the one to rise with the sun, sometimes even earlier, Ethan wasn’t about to make today was an exception. Running was the only way Ethan could escape his thoughts from now, if someone asked him that question 5 years ago, his answer would be found at the bottom of a bottle, but not now, not anymore. Lacing up, Ethan set off to the beach, jogging as he weaved his way through the buildings that littered the area, and picking up the pace once he heard the familiar sound of the ocean waves. Catalina at sunrise was a sight to behold, the soft rays warming over the ocean blues, it was postcard material and was a sight that melted Ethan’s tensions, and with the music he used to block out the world, it felt like it was just him, sunshine and the ocean breeze. 

However, his bliss was short lived. A collision shocked him out of his thoughts and diverted them to the person he had bumped into, and his features twisted as he recognised the person, “Oh..um, hey,” he said in a way of greeting, and immediately followed that up with an apology, “I didn’t see you there, I’m sorry, you’re not hurt are you?”

who: Chandler & @daphnexpalmer​ (and their littles!) when: afternoon where:  a park

The weeks that passed between the wedding fiasco, and the reopening of the ferries had been long. To say the least. Chandler hadn’t spent more than a night a part from his daughter since the day she was born. Going weeks without her made him feel a little loss. There had certainly been distractions. In his love life and in professional endeavors. With no schedule to adhere to, Chandler worked whenever muse hit him. He’d almost entirely curated his newest collection.

A sweet, melodic voice called out for him. His favorite name -- ‘Dad! Daddy! Dad -- look! Look at me! Look!’ He was looking. He couldn’t look away. Watching with both pride and fear, as his daughter plunged down the “big slide”. He clapped for her, and she ran off. A blur of giggles and brown curls. Much akin to the own on top of his head.

When Elodie began to play with another child. A girl, a little younger than she. Chandler didn’t think anything about it. She’d always loved other children. It made him feel guilty for not giving her siblings. Yet, he reminded himself. There was still time. If he could get his act together. “The first park we ever went to -- she hated it. Cried the whole time to go home, and then... I blinked.” Chandler laughed. The sound not a humored one, as he spoke to another parent on the park bench. “Don’t blink.”

19…Where is the most romantic place on earth?

“My bed,” Maya retorted not even attempting to stop and think, it was the first answer to pop into her head and she vocalised it because it was funny and the furthest from the truth. “I’m 100% fucking kidding, but god I don’t know what the most romantic place is? I guess, if I was with the right person I guess any random street corner would be the most romantic place.”

24…Have you ever changed yourself for love?

LOVE IS IN THE AIR…

Eleanor hadn’t changed herself for love, but she certainly changed herself to impress her high school boyfriend back when she was a teenager. The blonde was an impressionable person and her insecurities were at its peak back then. She would do anything to change herself, all to not receive negative comments particularly about her body. She would change herself, simply to be liked by people. Until her father became her wakeup call, when he noticed that his daughter becoming a stranger before his eyes. “No for love, but something close enough to it.”

2…Do you believe in love at first sight?

“No, I don’t think so.” He paused, considering how to continue. He knew his answer without thinking about it, but he wasn’t sure why that was his knee jerk response. “As someone that relies on vision as the primary of my senses, I think I’m qualified to say that sight can be deceiving. You can’t know someone well enough to say that you love them on first glance. Besides, have you ever talked to someone who says they fell in love at first sight with whoever they’re with? Guaranteed they would stop saying it was love at first sight if they broke up, and also guaranteed they didn’t say that when they first saw the person. It’s an endearing thing to say in hindsight, but just meeting someone and them saying they fell in love with you at first sight is either the most awkward pickup line in the world, or the start to a documentary about a serial killer.”

LOCATION: Lafayette Square Apartment Complex

          Funnily enough, his interest in crime had started on the highway with no police car in sight. Instead, it was a podcast coming through his speakers, rather than the normal selection of music that was most likely to be found playing, that had drawn his attention. He wasn't entirely sure what had compelled him to listen, other than the monotony of the drive and the need for something different. It was a pleasant surprise to find out how compelling the cases were, no matter if they’d been solved or the true culprit had somehow outsmarted the police. It was real, not thrown together by people who didn’t do their research and put out just for entertainment’s sake. But ever since then, he'd been fascinated -- the thought of possibly pursuing a project of his own gaining ground in the back of his mind even as he worked on other people's films and brought their stories to life. After all, if he ever wanted to open his own production company, he might as well do so with dozens of possible subjects to go through.          If George believed in something akin to luck, it would’ve explained finding out that he was living next door to a police detective ( especially now that he’d finally built up enough of a reputation to lead his own projects. ) As it was, he took it as a happy coincidence -- especially if he could persuade her to offer advice and real-life experiences that weren’t based on what he could find within a book or his own research. He hadn’t always been the best at personal interactions -- some traces of how reclusive he’d been as a child still lingering, but he’d learned to overcome it upon entering the film world. Finding out that having the right connections and knowing the right people would put him miles ahead of anyone else. But he still believed that also putting out a good product was key, not wanting to rely on cheap information and half-assed research to complete his works. A soft knock sounded on her apartment door, grateful when it opened and revealed her to be at home. “Hi -- I’m George, just moved in across the hall. I hope I’m not disturbing you? I know this is a bit out of the blue, but I’m a filmmaker and I couldn’t help but notice you returning home in your uniform the other day.” A tentative smile crossed his lips, hoping that he wasn’t coming across as suspicious or entirely out of bounds and he hurried to explain further. “I’ve been thinking of working on a project that’s related to true crime, and I was just wondering if you might possibly have time to answer some questions for me? I’ve been looking for someone with real=life experience but haven’t yet found anyone willing to help.”

2…Do you believe in love at first sight?

Kendall scoffs immediately. “No. That’s some bullshit sold to us by Hollywood in the hopes of boosting not only the romance movie industry, but also wedding and divorce industries.” She crosses her arms over her chest, looking to the side. No, love at first sight wasn’t a thing, and she didn’t understand people who insisted it was. Love was something born out of shared experiences, out of knowing. Not a glance.

10…Who was your first love?

Answered here!

Who: @daphnexpalmer​ Where: Bad Alibi When: Monday, 7pm

“Buonasera, Detective,” Cian called out to the familiar face that walked into the bar. He offered a smile, turning away briefly to hand a beer to a man further down the bar before he moved closer to her. “The usual?” He asked, already reaching behind him to the wine fridge. “Unless it’s been the kind of day that requires something stronger. I hope they’re not making you stay late because of that Helena Gallagher girl?” He offered an easy, sympathetic smile as he broached the subject. He’d been waiting for her to come back in since he and a few others found a ring that they suspected was in some way connected to the missing woman.

The center of the family of course is Danielle. Though she may have lost her mother they have tried to make up for it. They would do anything for that little girl.

[dinah-palmer]

closed starter for @daphnexpalmer​

It was a learning curve, figuring out how to do the single mom/family thing. On one hand, she loved being in contact with her sister again. She loved that Jenny had a cousin to play with and other people attached to Danielle that loved her and wanted to be aunties and uncles to her as well.

What was even stranger to her was actually settling into a place and staying longer than a month or two. Dinah owned the massive, sprawling property with the yard and the good schools close by. A massive pool in the backyard and a spacious bedroom for Jenny. It was finally home. 

Having Daphne in her home, having a play date with Jenny and Dani, it felt more out of practice than strange, a bit like exercising an old muscle or relearning an old favorite song. 

“It’s so weird to watch, isn’t it? We’re both moms.”

Ethan liked to think he was good with kids, whether it was babysitting his cousins kids or his own niece and nephew, Ethan and children generally got along. He couldn’t do anything about unruly kids though, but thankfully, Danielle did not fall into that category. Daphne and the little girl currently in his care had moved next door a few months after he had and after a few small and polite conversations, they soon became good neighbours and Ethan often babysat when Daphne needed someone last minute. That’s where he found himself tonight, with nothing planned, Ethan almost immediately agreed when Daphne called for help. He didn’t mind the arrangement, Danielle was a delight to be around.

After an evening filled with Disney movies and playing tag around the apartment, he tucked the little girl in bed and began clearing the toys off the floor when the door opened. “Hey,” he greeted as Daphne walked in, “I just put her to bed, sorry if it’s later than usual.”

Who: @daphnexpalmer​ Where: Zoo When: Saturday, 11:15am

Everything had been crazy since the wedding, and hadn’t quieted down much since. If he had a few seconds to breathe in between, he would’ve been grateful to have the trip to the zoo with Daphne and Dani as a distraction for the day. As it was, he was rushing home on Saturday morning to shower and try to not look like he’d spent the night taking care of a drunk friend, if he was allowed to call Ethan that, after dragging him home from a bar. He felt like he was running on three hours of sleep, which was good considering he was pretty sure he’d gotten less than that.

“Sorry I’m late,” he signed quickly as breathed out the words, not entirely certain they were intelligible considering he was a little out of breath, having jogged from the parking lot to meet Daphne outside the main entrance of the zoo, only fifteen minutes past when they’d agreed to meet. A smile stretched across his lips despite his exhausted he felt when his eyes landed on Dani. Now he was able to enjoy it, able to be grateful not only for a distraction, but for the way Dani smiled when she saw him joining them. “So, which animal are you most excited to see?”
