Teddy takes a seat in a lounge chair, soaking in the late day sun. She rests her elbows on her knees, running her hands through her hair, tangling her fingers into the weave of curls. She allows the warmth to seep into her skin, radiating throughout her body. It relaxes her like a meditation. Her world is sound, the creation and manipulation of it, for a moment, the only sound is the breeze in David's windchimes and the distant waves. It has been a long run with shows almost every other night for months. Teddy is enjoying the warmth and the peace, for this moment, no one wants anything from her. It is in this moment of bliss that she sees it, Teddy sees the flash of sunlight in the distance. Her instincts kick, she is quite used to the tell tale flash of sunlight off of a lens. Teddy rises from the seat heading into the house.
Teddy's sudden departure from a moment of bliss grabs Raffy's attention. Teddy brushes off Raffy's unspoken nods, unconcerned with some thing that is simply part of her world. Sophie is in Teddy's office chatting away with Hardison, Parker and Harry Wilson about some business of their business. With Sophie in her next intended spot, Teddy heads upstairs to possibly indulge in the luxury of an afternoon nap, she is in Spain after all. Siesta it is.
Teddy slips into the cocoon of her lavender scented sheets with the tickles of the breeze coming in from the balcony door. The bliss takes over as Teddy falls fast asleep. As the sun lowers in the sky, Sophie wanders down to chat with Raffy and River. Connie and River are posted out on the terrace, sipping wine, engaging in a vibrant conversation that resembles the interactions of a landing crew with the active arms flapping about.
Raffy offers a glass of wine to Sophie as she settles into a chair. The staff has begun the preparations for dinner with a heavenly scent filling the surrounding air. Sophie cannot help but to truly enjoy the bliss. She understands why this place is sacred to her collective DJs. The relative quiet is disturbed by the entrance of yet another strikingly handsome man seeking an audience with Teddy. Raffy let's on that the gentleman is with Teddy's agent. Sophie remembers Teddy's agent as a chain smoking Jewish woman from New York. The woman's voice was permanently imprinted on her soul. Sophie smiles as the comparison to Janice from friends instantly manifests from memory.
This young man has a jawline that could cut through rope, with long curly hair and body that you could crack a walnut on. His expensive suit is open with a provocatively unbuttoned shirt and a briefcase in hand. As he inquires as to where Teddy is, Sophie takes in his voice the New York accent is there but is refined likely from a high society upbringing. The first thought in Sophie's head is how the hell is Teddy single with all of these handsome men about.
Sophie entertains the gentleman has Raffy heads off to rouse Theodora. River notices the guest, bounding in from the terrace to greet "Asher." The introduction revealed the gentleman to be Asher de Palma. River wraps him up in a warm hug as he chats up a mile a minute. Raffy peeks in to find Teddy truly in a deep sleep which is rare enough that he does not want to disturb her merely for signatures on paper. Sensing the presence in her room, Teddy wakes as Raffy informs her of the visitor. Teddy had forgotten that Asher had warned her of the pending visit and yet another deal. Teddy smiles since this is one that will send River over the moon since it is a collab with Dior. Which means that she will need to ring up Harvey.
As Teddy escorts Asher into her office, Sophie notices David's smiling face peeking into the living room with a wink and a wave for her to join him. Sophie is most certainly not in the mood to resist as she heads off to adventure at David's beckoning. As she approaches David, he offers a sunset ride in a rather stunning convertible. Hearing the familiar roar of an engine, Teddy takes a glance out her office window to see David and her sister pulling away, the irony is that this moment is practically a Tardis back 20 years.
Teddy wraps her business with Asher, signing document after document as if she was Col. Potter signing a stack from Radar. She laughs as hoping the pen does not actually run out of ink. Asher gathers up all of the papers with a smile at the financial windfall that the signatures mean. He parts from Teddy noting that he has a plane to catch. As she parts with Asher, Teddy notices the new addition perched on her terrace surveying the setting sun. Eliot turns, leaning against the terrace railing with is arms folded and a gentle smirk on his face as Teddy joins him.
Raffy and Rive shoo Connie away so that Teddy can have a few moments alone with Eliot. As Teddy approaches Eliot, her mind drifts into their past given how many times she and Eliot had met this way. The heiresses were often napping in preparation for the long Ibiza nights at this time of day, freeing Eliot to pay a visit to his lady. Teddy takes in the smile and those eyes. The eyes that matched with waters that surround the islands. Teddy tries to shake it off but it is definitely what David had deemed to be the Eliot effect when they were young.
