Sage and Laura gave each other hugs and kisses on the cheek as their friendly greetings "Don't worry about it, Jordan, uh-" She didn't really realize it until she said it "Kept me company, all is well Mrs. Baker" Separated? Maybe, but Billy and her sure still are living under the same roof and honestly if Billy had said anything to King she'd know what he'd be up to so Olivia could stop asking but she truly does not know a thing- Billy Baker likes to keep a lot of things to himself and that might've been the beginning of the downfall of his life, he had trust issues so bad that he couldn't even trust his own wife with whatever he had kept in

Laura gave Jordan a proud yet concerned look "Great-Oh!" She had seen the large package placed on the counter that also came along with Jeff Leatham arranged flowers, it's a really big gift given to and from the richest of L.A- some might say these flower arrangements are nothing in comparison to chocolates. If you wanted to apologize, call Jeff Leatham, if  it's your anniversary, Jeff Letham will be waiting for you. It's a Los Angeles delicacy that doesn't involve any form of anything actually edible

Jordan and Sage gave each other a brief stare before returning back into the present situation. Sage was only here to give Laura Baker a gift from her mother, maybe this was meant to happen  so they can go back to their old friend ways or old relationship ways. Whatever this is, it's fate  and either good or bad can come out of it, it's their decision.

Sage had left the Baker household, to her something felt different as if things were finally going back to normal but in a way she hadn't yet understood and figured out yet.  Yet she smiled because before everything started to slowly fall apart, she was happy and she wanted it to go back to normal. No fights, no hate, no drama but just a complete group of friends full of love and support. 

"Hey hey" She hugged Darnell, entered the house and straight to the kitchen Sage went, surprisingly Kia was nowhere to be found though she was certain that they didn't break up the air sure does feel a little bit thick with the lack of energy and enthusiasm Darnell gave when he'd welcomed her into his apartment 

It was nothing but complete silence, she stared then she'd look away and he'd stare and then suddenly look away, it's as if there's an elephant in the room that nobody isn't quite ready to address. 

"D, are you good?" Sage asked closing the refrigerator door, with a new unopened bottle of grape gatorade Darnell only gets because Sage likes it, he hates grape but doubles up and buys grape and cool blue. She wasn't feeling well, but if she felt good she would've raided his coconut juice stash he keeps hidden  on the very top shelf only guys taller than 5'7 could reach, yes Sage is a giant to the  normal female species

"Are YOU good?' He flipped the tables and asked the question assuming that her taste has changed due to something bad happening in her life

She chuckled, disregarding that. Sage hates admitting that she's in defeat and or that she's sick and right now she's kind of feeling a little bit of both "Yes, I'm fine but you seem like you've got something to say and you need to say it out your chest it seems" She sipped and analyzed Darnell some more, wanting the focus to  be shifted anywhere else but her

He sighed, shaking his head not knowing if he should speak things into existence because maybe he thought things would be different if he did "D, I'm still here unless you- uh, need some you time instead"  She was starting to get worried toward the actions of her best friend who felt the same way as she did. Darnell nodded "Kia and I got into a pretty big fight because it sounded, it sounded so-" He paused and looked back up at Sage and gave him a nod to continue "Dude you're being so sketch"
