What You'll Find Here
Anacosta Heights
Dupont Circle
Hawethorn Village
River Dale
Anacosta Heights
Situated above the daily life of the city, Anacosta Heights is a tucked away suburb featuring extravagant neo-gothic inspired mansions. The inhabitants of this neighborhood often show their overwhelming wealth with sports cars lining their long, circular driveways, large pools, and manicured gardens. The homeowners of Anacosta Heights treasure their privacy as seen by the high iron gates to the security personnel present at every entrance.
Dupont Circle
Dupont Circle is a small suburban neighborhood settled within the serene portion of the southern portion of town. These four-bedroom, single-family homes feature back yards, porches, garages, and far more breathing space then the Village offers. This neighborhood often is more family orientated and even has organized events for children and the neighborhood as a whole.
Hawethorn Village
Settled in the middle of downtown, Hawthorn Village consists of several victorian inspired row houses just off the main street. Due to it's convenience to just about everything, the village can be a tad expensive to live within. However, the residents of this neighborhood often have two to three-story townhouses, often with a one to two-car garage. Many of the houses feature bay windows and/or rooftop terraces with a small fenced-in 'yard'.
River Dale
River Dale primarily consists of apartments that, despite their age and industrial appearing interior, still hold to the Victorian history that permeates the town. These apartments are often the cheapest option and sport scuffed, older wooden floors, open floor plans, visible beams, and the occasional brick wall.

What Ashton was doing was simply the right thing. It was how he was taught. He didn't need to be paid back or recognized. So when she insisted that she would pay him back, he shook his head. "I will not accept your money, it wouldn't be right." He paused, knowing that she might think him a jerk for turning down her promise to repay him for the kindness she was offering him. "Just...pay it forward." Yes. That was how she could replay his kindness. She could use that money that she would have given him to make someone else's day. She could buy groceries for a single mom who was struggling, pay for a hotel for a homeless person for the night, or donate her time to helping the local food pantry. All of it would be far more helpful than a few extra dollars in his pocket.
Once he came back around with the basket, he watched her put a few articles of clothing in the basket before she once again told him that she would pay him back. He gently shook his head. "No, it's quite alright. I don't need to be paid back." He enjoyed helping others. As long as she did a good deed for someone else, that would be payment enough for him.
As they stood in the checkout line, unloading the items onto the conveyer belt, he listened quietly as she asked if he thought Malia might be able to help. He sighed. "I can certainly ask. But if I might be so bold..." He paused, not really wanting to offend her in the least bit but he wanted to make sure she would be okay with hearing what he had to say. "Trauma like yours does funny things with one's mind. Sometimes forgetting is how it copes." He wasn't sure what had happened to her, but perhaps her mind was protecting her from something awful. "I know you want to know what happened, but do you think you don't remember for a reason?" Maybe something so traumatic happened that this was the only way she could get out alive. "I would hate for you to unknowingly hurt yourself more in your quest to remember." He wasn't sure if that was the best thing to say or even the right thing, but he was concerned for her safety and well-being.
As everything was bagged, he handed her a couple of the lightest bags before he took the heaviest ones and tucked his pillows beneath his arms. Thankfully, his apartment was not far from here and was only just around the corner.
