I squeeze Luis' hand. "If I know what they found, I'll convince myself to just go to dinner and forget this or try to." A man in a nice suit walks over to us. He asks why I'm there and then says he can help us. We follow into a private room. It's a short wait for him to bring back the box then+

I chew my bottom lip and hand my phone to him. "Nah you do it." I head inside before I talk myself out of it then to the shortest line I can.

I whisper. "Should I check if the others said in our new group chat?" -yes sometimes we create new ones-

Another coffee and a flight later. I find myself standing in front of the bank. Phone still off from the flight. I fidget with the key and charm.

I laugh. "that's fair." I hug her tightly and walk towards the guys. "Ready?"

I sip my coffee. "So going to Oregon. I guess."

I blow raspberries. "Yea...and I guess my curious won out. I just...blah."

"Nope. Nope. We don't. Ash even said he tried but found nothing off what I could tell him last night." I take a deep breath.

I snort. "O yes, so much." I laugh. "It's weird." I show her the picture of the card I saved. "It's addressed from no one..cause none of our friends would pull this shit."

I blow raspberries and explain everything about the delivery last night then show her the key and necklace. "I gave in after arguing I wasn't gonna play whatever this is."

💬 Thank you. I have to go on a stupid trip. I reply. I look at Dax. "Go on..go get our bags. We're freaking going to Oregon...and pick up Luis or he'll pout." I kiss his cheek, smiling.

Azzy replies the same after Scarlett. 💬 Could one of you watch the café today? There's no class or meet up thing. And one of you maybe pick up and watch my kids? 💬 I can get the kids. We're going to the water park later and they'll have so much fun - Azzy

"A little?" I arch a brow then sigh heavily. I take my phone out and message Scarlett and Azzy. 💬 Hey... Could I ask for a major favor? And is anyone free today? Like right now?

I quietly say, "I don't know... It's just all so weird." I mutter and set the phone down. I take out the stupid key. "And this...a hourglass charm? It's weird."

I nod. "It's a wicca symbol." I say showing him my phone and what I found.

Part 2 (B) Sitting in the café during the early morning, I find myself fidgeting with the necklace I could help but take. I quietly say to myself before taking a sip of coffee. "Feel like I've seen this somewhere." I take another sip and set the necklace down. I pull out my phone and +

I lay my head back and close my eyes. "I'm sure someone will."

I lean over and kiss him softly. "This time, yes. Sorry, Baby."

Tilly Petrova (Parody) @apparitionofmemory.bsky.social · 12h

I shake my head. "Baby, we have work and kids. I'm not gonna play this game with a random vague person. If it was closer, maybe but it's all the way in Oregon."

I blink at him. "Yea, no." I sink under the water. -that is not happening.-

Tilly Petrova (Parody) @apparitionofmemory.bsky.social · 16h

I arch brow at him. "Really think it's legit? What bank?" I ask. -honestly I might be more curious if I hadn't had some major life bullshit happen or I didn't have an ex group of in-laws who are really capable of anything-

I resurface and lay my head back against the tub with soft sigh.

I sink into the bubbly bath and sigh heavily. "Oh great, we're all getting fucked with." I sink under the water.

I arch a brow. "Uh huh. Oookay." I roll my eyes. I kiss their cheeks. "Since ridiculous." I get to my feet and head to our room. I start to strip and head into the bathroom. -Yup, ridiculously vague and weird. Probably just someone deciding to fuck with me. Not in the mood- I start the bath.

"Well if you want to then go ahead." I quietly say and curl up a bit.

"People who send important things should put their names on it. And what if it's Christian's family fucking with us?" I ask.

After the kids are fast asleep, I settle onto the couch with the flowers and note, setting them on the coffee table. I shake my head. "I don't like this. It's weird and we should just ignore it."

Tilly Petrova (Parody) @apparitionofmemory.bsky.social · 22h

I nod. "He should be. Yes." I softly say and continue eating.

Tilly Petrova (Parody) @apparitionofmemory.bsky.social · 23h

I sigh. "Then you might as well get the flowers out too... But we'll open it after bedtime."

Tilly Petrova (Parody) @apparitionofmemory.bsky.social · 23h

"cause I don't know who sent them." I quietly say and start to eat my pizza.

Tilly Petrova (Parody) @apparitionofmemory.bsky.social · 23h

"Yep." I say as I start setting the kids' plates across from me as the rush in behind him. I grab myself a veggie slice, bread sticks and a soda.

on it. I shake my head and walk back to the kitchen. "Nope." I drop it into the trash and call out. "Dinner is here!" I grab glass and sippy cups for everyone. / @southernhothead.bsky.social @sweetbutangryrp.bsky.social

"Natalia Petrova, right?" He asks. I nod. "Yes, that is me." "Then these are yours." He looks at his notepad. I nod more slowly and take them. Quickly, I sign the sheet he asks me to and shut the door. I stand there just staring at the envelope and flowers, not finding any sender information+

On my way home, I collect some pizzas and sides for dinner. I have barely set the boxes on the counter when my doorbell rings. I blink and head to the front door. A delivery man holds our bouquet of flowers and a deep blue envelope to me. "Uh I think you have the wrong person." I say.+
