Not Too Late to Apologise - open

[Benjamin Rhodes]

It was that time of the year where Ben would go to the town hall and post up the flyer for his clinic. Usually, he would send Casey, his assistant, but after giving birth to her third boy, she had decided to be a stay at home mother, even though she insisted she had loved working with him.

Ben of course didn't fault her of it at all. Having children was something he wanted as well, given the right time. And when he was ready to actually propose to Cobalt. Doing it at the winter ball would have been a disaster. Thankfully, Sean's message about the treasure finally sunk in to Ben's head. But still, it left him having to find the right time to do so. And the right way.

Because of Casey's absence, and also because he was free that afternoon, he didn't want to bother his intern so he went to the town hall himself.

He loved the place at this time of day. People bustling around doing their everyday errand-running, some having late lunches with friends, some kids entering the library with books clutched in their hands. It was all just very Pleasantville.

Finally getting to the board, Ben tacked up his flyer, smoothing it down so it wouldn't fly off. He admired it for awhile before turning to walk back to his clinic. Unfortunately, someone else was behind him and he ended up knocking them over.

"Oh crap, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" He asked, immediately concerned.

[Evie Miller]

Evie had been walking down town with Roco her doberman she thought the dogs had been given a seriously bad rep Roco was more like a labrador in a different skin and Roco had manners she didnt beed to have him on a lead but she had and was lightly holding onto him in her other arm she held a sketch book and her ipad she was trying to come up with designs for her window display but wasnt having much luck.

So that had sent her off on a misson she wanted to walk around see if anything gave her a muse if not she would proberly end up at the park playing fetch with Roco but that in the end didnt seem like too much of a bad idea she was in her own little bubble till she was knocked over she hadnt even noticed the man shows her how much of a bubble she was in she stepped on Rocos paw in her converses making him yelp she gasped as she fell to the ground a tear of fabric could be heard and her sketch book dropped and tried to scatter papers everywhere '' Perfect '' she uttered moving her long legs round and taking a look at her ripped knee and the small cut she then leant over and fussed over Roco who was grumbling at her in a innocent way '' lm not that heavy '' she mumbled her eyes then went wide as she looked up at the stranger her cheeks flushed as she ran her fingers through her hair

'' Oh no.. no its my own fault lm sure l have daisys instead of a brain '' she uttered before giggling slightly as she slowly stood up and dusted herself off she then looked up at the man '' Are you ok ? ''
