[indent]When Shawn--Colin means dad--had come and given him his coffee, they exchanged glances for a long, tense moment. They didn’t say anything to each other. Colin had a few choice words, but as he saw Ali, he figured it wasn’t worth the hassle. He wasn’t here to fight with his father. He had come to the family establishment to see his sister. If nothing else, that was more important than sticking it to Shawn..even though it would’ve been more than satisfying to take any chance to say what he was thinking.

He took a few sips of his coffee, wincing just at how strong it really was. He ignored it. Regardless of the strength of the coffee, it was doing its job, more so it was allowing him to finally wake up after pulling a double shift that lasted throughout the dead in the night and he got his first break when he had come into the Brady Pub. It would’ve been better if he could have some whiskey with his coffee, but with all of the peering eyes, he couldn’t risk them getting on his ass about that as well, on top of his already-known drug addiction; of which Colin has been seeking help for a few years now.

[color=00a86b]“Pretty sure Shawn and Caroline wouldn’t appreciate you using their lord’s name in vain,”[/color] Colin teased his little sister, giving her a bit of a snarky smirk, taking another sip of his coffee. Still wincing from it, he poured some sugar into it until he found himself to be satisfied. When that point in time came, let out a sigh. [color=00a86b]“You could always quit. You know they aren’t going to give this place up anytime soon.”[/color] Colin said, telling her what she already knew,[color=00a86b] “maybe Zeke could help you get a position at the Java.”[/color] He was just throwing ideas around.

As his mind went to his little brother, he probably should’ve gone to the actual coffee cafe rather than showing up at the family joint. It would’ve been less stressful for all parties. Ah well, it was too late now. Besides, Colin spent way too much time away from Ali. Since moving out from their family home, Colin hadn’t seen his siblings as much. Though Salem was a small town--or it had that feeling, anyway--he found himself ignoring his family. It wasn’t by choice, but it was the truth of the matter.

When Colin had finished his cup, he was debating about another, but as the thought had crossed his mind, he noticed some young girl came into the pub. It was that younger Horton, Olivia. [color=00a86b]“Well isn’t it Nancy Drew herself. Hope you’re staying out of trouble, kiddo,”[/color] Colin teased her also, ruffling the top of Olivia’s brown scalp.
