Riley had decided to go back to work that week, she was going insane just sitting around and doing nothing all day. She was glad to be back to her coffee fetching, file organizing ways. She was making dinner that night, a late thank you from a couple weeks ago. She was making sure she made enough to insist Alex to carry to Archer, she never properly thanked him. The nightmares had subsided and she was feeling a lot better, mostly thanks to the pain medicine the doctor prescribed her. The wound was healing, slowly, but it was still healing. Every now and then she'd have a pounding headache, but by how hard her head hit the ground, it was a given. Riley had contemplated her whole week home moving, those people knows where she lives, what if they come after her again? Well if they did, next time she'd be ready.

Riley was chopping some lettuce up for their salad when the buzz echoed through the whole room. Grinning, she rubbed her hands on her apron and rushed to press the button to let Alex in. She was dressed in dark jeans they looked great on her and a pretty sleeveless caramel colored blouse, cutting low in the front and flaring out at her waist. She had her hair twisted in a side ponytail that set her outfit off and brown boots with heels. She chose not to apply any make-up, only a small amount of lip gloss. Riley grinned when she saw Alex. "Hey!" She said, hugging him gently. It still hurt to put a lot of pressure on her ribs, so she was careful not to hug too hard. "I'm making chicken enchiladas, Mexican rice, and refried beans- all made from scratch. Oh, and salad with some Merlot, Just bought it this morning." She said, bringing out the bottle of wine with a grin.

"It's all almost done." She said, going ahead to pour them each a glass. "Here." She said handing him a wine glass. "To new beginnings." She said, holding up her glass for a toast. The timer to the oven went off and she grabbed two potholders, taking out a pan with the enchiladas in it, covered in red sauce. "Hope you're hungry." She joked, taking out two plates and setting them up at the island. "I made enough for Archer, too. Could you take it to him? It's a thank you." She said, preparing both of their plates. She sat down in the stool next to Alex, smiling. "So, how do you like your new job?" She asked, taking a bite of her food.
