"Alright Ty I'm off the clock," Ari informed tyler with a smile. She put her name tags and things in a bag and nearly walked out the door. That was until she noticed Preston. She hadn't seen Preston in a month. "Hey," Ari said with a smile. She almost forgot that she was supposed to be meeting with Ronan. "Mind if I join you?" Ari asked.

Preston had a lecture that morning, and so Matt and Ryan had agreed to take Hope out for the day. He hated being away from her, but he couldn't manage to get through law school without it. He was grateful to have the help that he did. After his lecture got out, he decided to take the rest of the day to study at the cafe, and possibly see Ari in the process. So maybe he was developing a slight crush. But he would never be able to admit that to her, or to anyone else for that matter. He felt like it was wrong. She had a boyfriend, and Kylie had just died less than a year ago. Jumping right into another relationship, and one that had failed once before, seemed wrong to him. That and he had absolutely no time to be a boyfriend to anyone.
He was reviewing his notes when saw Ari walking over to him. "By all means," he said, motioning to the empty chair across from him. "How have you been?" he asked, but then he heard her phone ring --- Ronan had been watching the clock tick until it was time for Ari to get off work, and then he stared at his phone for five minutes waiting for her to call, but she never did. He'd asked her to call him when he got off work. Why wasn't she calling? He decided to call her instead. If she didn't pick up, then he'd just have to go to the cafe himself.

Ari smiled and sat across from Preston. "I've been good. How about-" Ari heard her phone ring and saw that it was from Ronan. "I'm so sorry I need to take this," Ari said.
She stood up and went by the window which wasn't too far from the table Preston was sitting at. "Hey I'm gonna end up running a little late," Ari said to Ronan.

Preston smiled and just shrugged, indicating that he didn't mind Ari answering her phone. She was a busy girl, just like he was. --- Ronan was relieved to hear Ari on the other end, but then he just got angry. "Where are you?" he asked, almost yelling. "I asked you to call me as soon as you got back. Are you with someone?" Ronan had a habit of jumping to conclusions and making Ari feel like his anger was always a result of her actions, but it usually ended up getting him what he wanted.

Ari bit her lip when Ronan began to yell at her. "I'm just meeting up with somebody. I haven't seen him in a month," Ari said quietly. She was gazing put the window honestly afraid that Ronan would come down here.

Ronan scoffed. "Wait, you'd rather be with another guy instead of me?" he said angrily. "Wow, I'm sorry I've become such a bore to you. Call me when you decide that I'm worth your time." Ronan then hung up the phone, and subsequently threw it at a wall. --- Preston wasn't originally listening to Ari's phone conversation, but then he heard yelling and he couldn't help himself. When she had hung up, Preston stood up and walked over to her. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop," he said, feeling slightly embarrassed. "But is everything alright?"

Ari felt herself begin to cry. She didn't want to cry but she felt bad when she upset people. Especially people she loved. She looked over at Preston. "Everything's fine," Ari said. She wasn't going to come home or call him thiugh. She didn't want to.

It was obvious to Preston that Ari was lying. "You don't have to lie to me," he said. "I'm here if you want to talk." Preston was worried about Ari. She was usually the kind of girl that would stand up for herself. It was odd seeing her so upset especially about a boy. If she didn't agree with something, she was the kind of girl that wouldn't stay quiet about it. At least, that's was Preston thought.

Ari pursed her lips and nodded. She just went back to the table and sat down. She wanted to get off the topic. She didn't enjoy to talk about it. She searched her head for something new to talk about. "So how's Hope?" Ari asked trying her hardest to get off the subject.

Preston didn't want to change the subject, but it occurred to him that he might have been overstepping, so he didn't push. "She's really good," he said. "She started walking the other day. It was really exciting. But then she fell." Preston laughed a little, trying to lighten up the mood, but it was still tense. It was obvious that he didn't really want to be talking about Hope. He wanted to know what was going on with her and Ronan.

Ari smiled at the thought of Hope walking and falling. "Is she talking yet?" Ari asked. It was clear she didn't want to be talking about Ronan. She didn't care if Preston wanted to because she didn't. She pursed her lips and glanced. At Preston amd smiled. She normally hid it with a smile.

Preston shrugged slightly. "Kind of?" he said. "She babbles a lot, but no real words quite yet." It was clear that Preston enjoyed talking about Hope, even if he had other things on his mind at that moment. But he couldn't let Ari leave without knowing that she was okay. "So how are things with you and Ronan?" he asked as if he had no idea that's who she was on the phone with.

"Things are fine," Ari said. She wanted her heart beat to just chill but she couldn't get it to calm down. The more she thought about Ronan the faster her heart beat. It continued to be at because it had been awhile since she went against what Ronan said like she did to say. She was surprised he hadn't called her yet. Then she began to wonder if he hadn't called her because he was on his way.

Preston raised an eyebrow at her. "I understand if you just don't want to talk, but I just want to make sure that you're safe, okay?" he said. If Ari was lying to him, it meant that she was hiding something serious. Otherwise she would realize that he could tell she was lying and just tell the truth. --- After a few more minutes, Ronan started walking to the cafe. He wasn't going to let her just ignore him. But he wouldn't hurt her. Not this time. He would just make her aware that she wasn't acting correctly.

"Everything's fine," Ari said with a fake smile. "What about you have you met any girls yet?" Ari asked with a smile. She just really wanted to get off the conversation. She was hoping that if she changed the topic quick enough he wouldn't bring it up. She was unaware that Ronan was coming to r he cafe.
