a week into the new year.

a week of twenty-twenty three having officially begun.

over a month of ashton and violet being together and they're practically inseparable.

today is a day where they've started apart, but most likely will end up seeing each other later. that's how it always ends up.

violet is at her aunt's store, sitting at the counter, serving customers while lisa sorts things out in the back room.

just as violet is about to check if her aunt needs any help, her phone dings with a notification from ashton. a smile growing on her face.

ash💕:
morning, baby
did you wanna get breakfast at that diner today?

violet:
did you sleep well, bub?
and i'd love to, but i'm helping out at the store, i'm sorry :(

ash💕:
i slept great! but it's all good, no worries!
how's the store?

violet:
it's fine
just miss you
i know it's only been like two days since i saw you but..

ash💕:
how about i get take out breakfast from the diner, come over to the store and eat with you while you work?

violet:
that would be great, thank you

ash💕:
i'll be over soon x

placing her phone down on the counter, lisa walks out from the back room holding a box full of vinyls and cds. violet knowing this is her queue to get up and start sorting through them.

"most of this box is for the back rows," lisa explains. "i think a few cds are for the front."

she nods, going to pick up the box, "ashton's coming over soon," violet tells her. "he said he's bringing breakfast."

"that's sweet of him," lisa smiles. "you know, it's nice seeing how happy he makes you. i remember before you moved here you said you didn't want another relationship."

"yea, that was before you insisted on introducing me to ashton on my first day here."

"well, it's a good job i did because now you have a boyfriend and a group of friends."

"very true," violet chuckles. "i'll go sort these out before ash gets here."

violet heads to the back of the store, starting to take out vinyls from the box to place them on the shelves. lisa stays at the front of the store at the counter.

it didn't take too long for ashton to arrive at the store, faster than they'd expected. violet being at the back of the store didn't realise it was him coming in.

he walks to the counter, placing down the breakfast he brought over for himself and violet. as well as the addition of a bouquet of flowers in his right hand.

"hey!" he greets, smiling at lisa. "i hope you don't mind me bringing the food in here."

"not at all! i'll grab an extra stall for you to sit on back here to eat." she quickly heads out to the back, soon coming back with a chair for him. "violet's just around the back shelf."
