everything was going great in the hawthorne mansion. avery covered up the murder of will and the disappearance of sheffield, all while defeating blake and inheriting his grandfathers fortune. the gang had a blast at the party- even his girlfriend, max, who was there via video-call. it wasnt until morning did xander notice something had gone terribly wrong. somebody had gone through security and was knocking on the door. it didnt seem weird until a guard told him the person at the doorstep was looking for him. he opened the door, fully confident this was another one of his grandfathers riddles- and saw a complete stranger staring at him with a box in her hands. with an eyebrow raise and his signature xander smirk, he greeted this stranger. “hey. if you tell me your name and reason of why youre here… ill give you a blueberry scone.”
