"Beth? You okay?"
"Fine, yeah. Fine. This is Adriana's-"
"Friend. He's a friend of mine." Letting her hand fall on his shoulder, she ignored his amused smirk, letting her lead him out the room. "Cars, huh?" Rio uttered as he passed Dean, earning a slight squeeze on the arm from Adriana.
"You are insufferable."
Rio only spared Adriana a glance, his tongue darting across his lip. Before he could utter a word, the two bumped into the man that Beth had once held captive, a flash of recognition glimmering in his eyes as they passed.
"Oh sorry." "Excuse me."
"Hey, have we met before?" Adriana let out a huff, pulling open the door to quickly urge Rio out the door. The sooner he was gone, the better. "No, I don't think so."
"You look so familiar."
"No, just a friend of the family."
Adriana quickly shut the door behind Rio, her eyes landing on Boomer. She could only roll her eyes in annoyance, sauntering off to join the backyard party.

"Everybody loves the sunshine, ba ba da ba ba da. The sunshine!"
Adriana glanced back at the sizzling eggs, watching as they took the form of the cookie-cutter which she placed just for the fun of it. Despite the events of the day before, Adriana woke up happy and refreshed, turning on her favorite tunes and cooking a 'Gordon Ramsay' worthy breakfast.
"Mama! Tell Bastian that we watched paw patrol yesterday and it's my turn to choose my show."
Adriana's eyes darted to Sebastian as he sat unbothered by his sister's pleas, his eyes glued to the screen. His little legs swung on the edge of the couch, his heel occasionally hitting it with a resounding thump.
"Can't you guys find something you both like to watch?"
"I want to watch Nina's world but he doesn't."
Adriana shut off the stove, scooping the flower-shaped eggs onto a plate. She shrugged in response to her daughter's dilemma, sliding her a plate of eggs and bacon along with a cup of orange juice.
"If you guys can't figure it out, then I might as well watch my show. Turn on Grey's Anatomy and come eat, Bubba."
Ana could only pout, her glare directed towards Seb as he grabbed his plate and spiderman fork to join his mother in the living room. Though Ana's pout didn't last long as she took a bite of the flavorful bacon and watched as Meredith and Christina danced across the screen.
