Camera: Off
Location: Dry Branch, GA
When: August 19th, 2017

Inside of the home of Avery Miles, he and Serenity sit on the couch early in the afternoon. Figuring out what to do, he devised a plan for her to get to know two of his good friends; Sawyer and Annabelle. He turns towards her and smiles.

Avery: "So what's the plan for today. What would you like to do."

Serenity: "Today... anything and everything as long as I am with you."

He smiled.

Avery: "Wine tasting."

Serenity: "Sure, you just want to get me drunk."

She laughs, kidding with him.

Avery: "If I wanted to get you drunk. We'd drink whiskey"

Serenity: "I was kidding though babe"

Avery: "Do you even drink?"

He was still learning her.

Serenity: "I do a bit, nothing serious."

Avery: "Okay. Well today is Serenity day. Whatever she wants. Anything. No limit."

Serenity: "I want to spend it with you, going to drink wine"

He gives her a dirty look and begins to tickle her.

Avery: "Damn it woman. What do you want to do. Don't make me use my evil powers."

She was lhinking, as she wiggles some.

Serenity: "I told you what I want to do. Typical Male, think there is more"

He kisses her.

Avery: "Wine tasting. Okay."

She kisses him back as she nods her head.

Serenity: "Yeah, what's the worse that could happen"

Avery: "You get drunk. We do something dumb and get arrested. I lose my contracts."

They both have a good laugh at it. They decide to both get dressed and head out. The drive is about ten minutes down the road as they pull into a winery. It was a place that Avery was familiar with. And a place that would become known to Serenity.

Avery: "Friends run this place. Muscadine wine. It's a type of grape."

Serenity: "Never heard of it, but it's a good thing for great friends"

She looks out the window, so she could see. There was a big field with grapes. They get out and head inside.

Female Voice: "Avery!"

A cute girl runs out and jumps up hugging him.

Avery: "Hey Annabelle"

Serenity looks as she wonder why she jumped on him.

Avery: "Annie. This is my girlfriend Serenity."

She looks past him.

Annabelle: "Really?"

She runs over to Serenity and hugs her.

Avery: "I grew up with Annie."

Serenity was shocked, not expecting it. She hugs her back.

Serenity: "Nice to meet you"

Annabelle: "You are so pretty. I can see why Avery is dating you."

A tall older man comes out.

Annabelle: "That is my husband. Sawyer."

She looks as she sees him.

Serenity: "Nice to meet you both."

Sawyer nods.

Avery: "I brought my girlfriend Serenity here to get drunk. Er. Taste some wine."

Sawyer: "Have a seat miss. The best muskadine wine south of the Mason Dixon"

Serenity: "Yeah to get drunk."

She lightly laughs, as she sits down looking at them.

Serenity: "Well least I know it will be good then"

He pours them both a small glass of dark red. Annabelle sits next to Serenity and gets a glass as well

Sawyer: "Enjoy."

Serenity: "I'm sure I will"

She takes a drink of it as she tastes it. Avery sipped. It had a strong fruit flavor to it. A strong scent

Serenity: "This is...its good"

Sawyer smiles.

Sawyer: "Thank you miss"

Sawyer was definitely a southern gentleman. Quiet. Tall. Strong.

Annabelle: "We haven't come up with a name for it."

Serenity: "Really, how long have you been making it"

Annabelle: "About three years. It was our dream."

She holds Sawyer's hand.

Avery: "Sawyer was actually friends with my dad."

There was a clear different in age. Annabelle was their age. Sawyer looked at least 40s. Sawyer pours the next one. More of a white wine. Dry.

Serenity: "Didn't know it could come in different colors from the same grape. I really don't know much about wines."

She looks down.

Sawyer: "Different grapes. Different colors and flavors."

Sawyer brings out a piece of paper showing.

Serenity: "Oh ok, gotcha. I understand now. I guess I thought they were all the same color... ok I don't know much about grapes either.

She laughs nervously. Avery takes her hand to reassure her. She smiles at him, as she was glad he did.

Avery: "What else you got Sawyer?"

He brings out a light red one and pours it.

Serenity: "What got you guys into wine?"

Annabelle: "Sawyer always wanted to. Since I met him. So we made it happen. He used to be a big city lawyer."

Avery laughs.

Avery: "Lawyer Sawyer"

Serenity: "That is funny. How long have you guys known each other?"

She blushes.

Annabelle: "Ten years. I was sixteen"

Serenity: "Long time. You guys are at least happy."

Annabelle: "We are. Very."

She leans over the bar and kisses him.

Annabelle: "He's a big softy"

They all take a sip of the light red.

Serenity: "That's great... so... what can you guys tell me about Avery here growing up?"

Annabelle: "Well Sawyer didn't grow up with us. But Avery was always the sweetest in school. Him and Zoe were the cutest. And Avery was always so quiet and shy. We did go out once."

Serenity: "Really? He didn't tell me about that."

Avery: "Well it was terrible. Annie and I are much better as friends. Brother and sister"

Serenity: "I would hope so since she is married now, and you got me"

She laughs softly. He shakes his head. Annabelle hugs Serenity again.

Annabelle: "So... where do you live?"

She hugs her back, as she looks at Avery.

Serenity: "Well.... I do have an apartment in LA, but I do feel at home at Avery's...."

Annabelle: "So you are moving here?" she asked.

Serenity: "We haven't really talked about it that yet..."

Annabelle: "Do you like it? Being from a big city."

Serenity: "Honestly I hadn't been in LA long as it was, but I do like it here."

Annabelle: "Well I could always use a friend. Plus. All the wine you can drink."

Sawyer and Avery let the girls talk.

Serenity: "Yeah you are right, we will just need to talk about it when get a chance to"

Avery looks at Serenity but says nothing.

Annabelle: "Have you met his parents yet?"

She shakes her head no.

Serenity: "Not yet I haven't..."

Avery: "They've been out of town. They asked about meeting you though babe."

Serenity: "Well when they get back if we are here still"

Avery: "Definitely. They will dote all over you."

Serenity: "Really, why do you think that?"

Avery: "My mom is so happy I found someone. And she is just going to absolutely love you."

Annie nods.

Annabelle: "She will."
