"Hey." A voice stops walking along the hall Nellie and turns to see it's Tyler
"Tyler? Well, hey back."
"I hope Mara didn't hurt you badly." He hopes with a small smile.
"Listen. I was beaten by a lot. But now she's the one who's gonna cry herfuckingself out." She assures with her hand raised in conference. She smiles. "I made sure of it. You wanted something I suppose."
"Yeah. I wanted to thank you. For hanging out with me."
"I did nothing." She shrugs. "It was Christie's idea."
"I know. But if you're not--"
I prefer to focus on Christina."
No wait, I didn't--
Maybe now yeah you are. But later... Who knows?" She shrugs again. "Thanks for thanking me, I really hope you don't still have any hard feelings for her."
"No, I'm cool. So cool." He smiles, sincerely, at her.
"Cool." She smiles back. They waited until finally Tyler walks forward, not noticing Roman around the corner.
Nellie decides to leave after Tyler has disappeared from her sight, walking forward too.
"Hey miss!" She whips around to see Luke striding her way.
"Luke."
"Hey. Sorry for what that nuts did."
"No, no need I'm fine. I'm glad I was who kicked the ass." She jokes hitting his chest slightly with the back of her hand.
"Yeah." He glances his right to find his words. "I'm really sorry for involving you Nellie. But thankfully Natalie was there. And since the kiss you and I had, she predicted Mara is gonna to get her revenge on you. So she filmed her attacking you with her friends so what you did is nothing but self-defense." He assures her while still observing them.
"Yeah, I know. Thank her and thank you." She smiles.
"But first... Do you really think me the best guy, or just said that to piss her off?"
"You know our bond was only to make her pay for her bitching and arrogance, right? But..." she pauses then at him humorously. "I really love your company."
"Me too. Blonke." She laughs. "What?"
"It's- it's Bloke." As she still laughs.
"What?" Luke confused.
"Bloke not Blonke." She manges to stop laughing. He looks around in embarrassment.
"Mind if I called ya 'birdie' instead?"
She shakes her head chuckles and the two hugs each other.

The door knocks and Imogene walks up to open it.
"Oh! Lynda you have a guest." And steps back for the Rumancek lady to check out on the guest.
"Oh! Hello." Lynda smiles.
"Good afternoon." The guest says
"Come in." With welcoming hands and the guest gets in.
"Thank you." It's Olivia Godfrey.
"Mm-hmm." Lynda shuts the door. "Sit, please."
"Oh, uh, well, we haven't officially met." Olivia starts as Imogene strides to the kitchen, to organize and prepare it. "Uh, my name-- I'm sorry." She wants to shake her hand but Lynda's was covered in mincemeat she's preparing with Imogene for lunch. "Our sons are friends." She quickly adds smiling.
