A small empty laugh left Theodore as the girl commented. [color=679439]“Not that many, I’m sure.”[/color] he muttered before settling for a beer and a shot of gin. He gave the cute bartender a warm smile as he was handed a big foaming mug of IPA and the small glass of clear liquid [color=679439]“Thank you… Farah”[/color] he squinted reading her name tag as he slid a twenty dollar bill towards her in exchange for his drinks [color=679439]“Keep the change”[/color]. He could almost feel the headache and clammy feeling ebb away as he slung back the small glass. He slid the empty shot glass towards the blonde with another smile asking for another. 

[color=679439]“Oh Nathan, you caught me.”[/color] Theo nodded raising his beer at the young man sitting down next to him.[color=679439] “Crazy all this huh?”[/color] the tall man gestured around them taking a big gulp of beer.  He looked around expecting to see the small dark haired girl that Nathan usually was joined by. [color=679439]“Didn’t you come here with Indie? I hear she’s staying together with my little cousin.”[/color] he cringed mentally at the thought of spending his time confined in a small cabana with Lottie. [color=679439]“She’s one of the reasons I’m here actually.”[/color] He sighed taking another gulp of beer [color=679439]“She nearly threw a temper tantrum when my uncle said she couldn’t come. So here I am… shaperoning from afar.”[/color] 

A wide smile finally broke across Theodore’s face when Zeke approached them. [color=679439]“Finally, you’re here!”[/color] he exclaimed when his good friend sat down slightly behind him. He slapped the skinny guy on the back. [color=679439]“You settled in? The guys treat you ok?”[/color] he asked. He loved his bandmates but they could be assholes sometimes. 

Yet another friend joined them in Merlou and Theo greeted her with a smile and a nod. [color=679439]“Hey Lou, been a while.”[/color] he said raising his mug at her. 

He turned around on his stool and gazed out over the beach where the Carnation workers was busy setting up the big bonfire. Huge tents had been raised with lounge chairs and hammocks spread out under them. Theo shook his head in disbelief [color=679439]“Have to give it to Rach. It is very beautiful here. Don’t you think?”[/color] he said to no one in particular.[/color][/indent]
