Dennis knocks stands outside Gael's loft and knocks on the door. Gael walks up and opens the door.
"Hey man." Gael says.
"Hey. Um, can I come in?" Dennis asks.
"Yeah, sure." Gael says.
Gael moves behind the door gesturing for Dennis to come in. Dennis walks in as Gael shuts the door behind him.
"What can I do for you?" Gael asks, surprised to have Dennis in his loft.
"I wanted to paint a picture for someone and I figured you'd be the best person to ask, considering." Dennis says.
Gael laughs. "I think I can help you with that." he says.
"Thanks man." Dennis says.
*Few Hours Later*
Gael is mixing together a couple paint colors while Dennis starts painting the background of the canvas. Gael watches Dennis as he lightly strokes the paint onto the canvas.
"So, you said this painting is for someone." Gael says.
"Yes." Dennis replies.
Gael continues "Would that someone be Davia?" he asking, raising his eyebrow with a smirk.
"What makes you say that?" Dennis asks.
"I think you and I both know that the connection you two share isn't undeniable." Gael says, a light smile spreads on his face.
"I mean.... your not wrong." Dennis agrees.
"Have you told her? How you feel, I mean?" Gael asks.
"No. The timing hasn't been right." Dennis sighs.
"She'll really love this painting." Gael says.
"I really hope so." Dennis smiles.
*Few Hours Later*
Dennis walks over to Alice's loft and knocks on the door.
"One second!" Alice shouts out.
The door of Alice's loft pops open and Alice smiles when she sees Dennis standing there.
"Hey buddy, what I can do for you?" Alice says, her smile spreading wider.
"Where's Davia?" Dennis asks.
"In her loft, destroying her room." Alice says.
"What?" Dennis asks, raising his eyebrow.
"Never mind. What's up?"
"I need your help getting Davia out of her room and, frankly out of The Coterie for a few hours." Dennis says.
Alice squints her eyes at Dennis very skeptically.
"What are you up too?" Alice asks.
"I have a gift for Davia, but I need to display it in her room and I can't do that with her in there. Make sense?" Dennis says.
"That was very vague, but okay I get it. What do you want me to do?" Alice asks.
"Take her shopping or something. I don't know, just stall for as long as possible." Dennis says.
"Yeah, I'll think of something. Don't you worry." Alice smiles confidently.
Dennis gives Alice a light smile before he walks away. Alice proceeds by walking over to Davia's loft and knocks on the door. Davia opens the door.
"What's up?" Davia says.
Alice notices all the clothes scattered all over the room. She looks up at Davia.
"Fashion crisis?" Alice asks.
"I got stressed out about what to wear when seeing Dennis. I want it to be perfect, but I can't find him. Do you know where he is?" Davia asks.
"Nope, haven't seen him." Alice says quickly.
"Okay, well I have a big mess of clothes to clean up, so if you'll excuse me—" Alice cuts Davia off.
"Um, I need your help." Alice blurts out.
"What?" Davia asks.
"I need...um... more Lucky Charms! I'm all out." Alice says nervously.
"Alice, I bought you two big bags when I went grocery shopping last week, you can't be out already." Davia says.
"Uh right. I meant I...dropped my phone in the toilet again and I need a new one. Please come with me!" Alice says, smiling nervously.
"Okay, you seriously need to invest in some pants with zippers on them." Davia says.
"I'll add that to the budget. Can you come with me, please?" Alice wines.
"Fine, I'll come with you." Davia says.
"Yes!!! I mean...um...thank you." Alice beams.
"Before we go, can I please clean up my room?" Davia points to her clothes scattered about the floor.
"No!! I mean...the store closes soon so we need to go. Come on." Alice motions for Davia to hurry.
"Okay, okay I'm coming." Davia says, grabbing her purse off her desk chair.
Alice and Davia walk out of The Coterie and into the warmness of the LA sunshine.
