Skylar: "Aah!" she screams, jumping in fright as Arya and Ryan hurry downstairs, rushing into the living room
Arya: "What? What?"
Ryan: "What's wrong?"
Skylar: "There-there's something in there." she exclaims, pointing to where a stack of boxes are sitting in the corner
Arya: "Oh, please don't let Sebastian have picked something up." she sighs, cautiously stepping closer to the box
Ryan: "What is it?" she hums, watching Arya's shoulders deflate, reaching inside to pull out a cat "Seriously?" she scoffs, giving Skylar an incredulous look
Skylar: "All I saw was the box move. You'd be freaked out if you were me too."
Ryan: "Uh huh."
Arya: "You are a mangy looking thing, aren't you?" she hums, holding the cat up in the air
Ryan: "Just get rid of him."
Arya: "What do you want me to do? Throw him out on the porch?"
Ryan: "Call the pound. Have them pick him up."
Arya: "Okay" she shrugs, walking past Skylar who quickly backs away as she holds the cat out towards her, making her chuckle in amusement "Scaredy cat."

Theo: "Last night was fun."
Luke: "Yeah. Yeah, it was" he chuckles, taking a swig from his coffee cup "For such a newbie in town you sure know all the best places to go."
Theo: "Arya made me what she calls her "must see in Chicago" list. Just picked a random spot and hoped for the best."
Luke: "Good choice."
Theo: "Why thank you" he hums, softly beginning to chuckle to himself which makes Luke raise a brow in confusion "Sorry, it's just...I can't believe how worried I was. I mean this is so much easier than I thought it would."
Luke: "What, going to a party?"
Theo: "No, dating. I thought it'd be much harder. You know, getting back out there and allowing myself to be who I really am."
Luke: "I get that. My first couple of tries after my husband...let's just say they didn't go so well."
Theo: "My ex tried drilling it into my head how badly this wanna go. Mostly I think that's just cause she was angry I kind of blindsided her with the whole "I'm gay" thing." he hums, making a confused look come over Luke's face
Luke: "Wait, your...your ex is a woman?"
Theo: "Yeah. Still kind of feels weird calling her that even though I guess it has only been a few months since we signed the papers."
Luke: "You two...were married?"
Theo: "Mm-hmm" he nods, a look coming over Luke's face as he slows in his steps "So, you wanna pick out another spot tonight? See if we could top last night" he chuckles, furrowing his brows when he turns to find Luke has stopped walking "Something wrong?"
Luke: "Yeah, uh, I can't do tonight."
Theo: "That's fine. How about another night? Besides you, everyone else I know always hangs out at Molly's, so my schedule is pretty free."
Luke: "I don't think this is gonna work." he sighs, watching Theo's face slightly falter
Theo: "What? I thought you had a good time."
Luke: "I did. Believe me I did, it's just...I've already done the whole dating a guy who's in the closet thing and you're just now coming out of the closet and you're experimenting and exploring which-which is great for you. But I...I can't be with a puppy. I just don't have time to teach you and...I'm sorry." he hums, pursing his lips before heading inside the hospital, Theo watching him with a shocked look on his face
