"I Do Indeed," Cynthia Enjoyed Working With Aria Especially Due To Her Enthusiasm. "Can I Take You Out

Rachel Hargreaves | Strangers | 1x06

Cynthia hated shopping, she really should have learnt not to leave it last minute and yet here she was. It was equally her fault that she walked into Lara and she was about to apologise when she realised who it was. "Oh Lara dear it's fine don't worry about it. I'm gift shopping but I'll take any reason to avoid it. What are you up to?"

Making this trek wasn't just for Mah Ze Dar's brioche doughnuts wasn't worth it - considering she could have just as easily stopped in Midtown to achieve the same goal, but last minute shopping simply had to be done. Simple, yet expensive gifts were easy to find. And the lights here during the holidays took all of her worries away. Colorful, beautiful, relaxing. Finishing the last bite of her doughnut and wiping at her face, she stood - nearly making a mess of herself and walking into another passerby. Clearing her throat, she put on a polite, yet tight smile. "Excuse me. That's my bad. Should have looked where I was stepping -- You look in a hurry, are you?"

"Oh I know I'm sorry, I really do need to need to get better managing my time." Cynthia felt guilty about that, she always did struggle to make time. Usually she just threw herself into work especially around this time. "But I have all afternoon,"

Emma knew that at the end of the year she would have one of her babies gone off to college. She was excited, but knew it wouldn't hit her until the end of May. "You will be their favourite auntie." She shuts the door behind them, making her way down the hallway. "Coffee it is. I feel like it's been forever since we were able to catch up. Life seems to be keeping us busy."

"Oh now that is very kind, are you sure though? I've likely had one too many already." Cynthia chuckled but wasn't about to say no to another drink, especially a free one.

Esme tipped the glass towards her lips, finishing off her third drink. She rarely drank this much, but she figured that since it was a party, then why not? “One more round for me.” Esmeralda smiled at the bartender before glancing towards the woman next to her. “And you can order whatever you’d like! It’s on me.”

Smoke breaks were integral to Cindy's day. A bad habit that she'd repeatedly tried to curb but never quite manage. It was one of those breaks that she was having when the other started ranting. Cindy was impressed if nothing else and only shrugged when Cemre apologised.

"Please don't worry. Sounds like you dealt with it all very well,"

"No, that isn't what I said." Cemre tucks herself off to the back side of the sidewalk, agitation rolling off her tongue. "We are keeping the time we agreed to. I don't care Smith, Mr. Morganthal will be there and if your client isn't there, then this deal will not go through." Teeth sink into her bottom lip listening to them speak, trying to hold back the anger slowly rising. It was the holidays and she should be in the spirit. "That isn't our problem. We didn't mess up. You did. Fix it on your end. I have to go. He better be there." She hangs up the phone, her body trembling. Confrontation, especially with those that tried to talk down at her like she didn't know what she was doing, riled her up.

"Seni pislik," she mutters in Turkish, turning around, eyes widening seeing someone standing there. "I'm so sorry you had to hear all of that." Her cheeks flush out of embarrassment.

Cynthia gave a brief laugh before nodding. "Yes I think that's the jist of it, got to find some way to make it edible." She liked the bar, but she came here to drink not eat so the food was never quite important to her.

"I'm sure someone would be willing to share for you."

Sufficiently warmed. "Cooks off the fungus, I guess." Not the most pleasant answer, but Malachi isn't the most pleasant person.

He has a drink in front of him already - just whiskey, which he's taken a sip or two of. Bony fingers tap a few more times as he mulls it over. Then, a look back at his present company. "Think the fries are warm enough?" Then a brief moment of pause. "Might need a taste tester."

"Thank you for meeting with me Will," Although Cynthia and Will were divorced she still loved him, even if that didn't always come across very well due to her own stubborn bitterness. Meeting in a neutral place seemed to help and she gave him a small smile as she sat down at the table.

"I wanted to talk about Christmas, I've managed to get the brood to agree to come over all together for Christmas Eve, they're all busy on the day itself." That fact stung but she quickly brushed past it. "I want you to be there. If you can make it."

Cynthia had been quite happy nursing her drink and taking the party in but she couldn't deny she loved dancing and so when Darwyn walked over her smile brightened. "Darwyn Black well don't you scrub up nicely. I'd love to dance but I do believe I need a moment to finish my drink first. Are you enjoying the party?"

Darwyn made his way over Cynthia, spotting her standing alone. He comes up to her side. "Evening Ms. Vasquez, you look quite lovely. Care to dance?" He was certain Will wouldn't mind if he danced with his ex-wife.
