WHO: Charlotte Kemp, Aidan Mcallister WHAT: The Talk? WHEN: Backdated to Thursday the 19th WHERE: Their place WARNINGS: Likely none, other than mentions of Huntington's Disease
Charlotte returned home from her parents' house, her arms laden with food. Even though Emma Kemp was going through chemotherapy and she didn't have the energy to bake, she had still purchased far too many baked good than she and William could eat themselves, and she sent them home with Charlotte. She carried the various goodies over to the kitchen counter and left them for Jade and Florian to help themselves as she went to find Aidan. He had said they needed to talk and even though he said it wasn't bad, worry was squirming in her belly.
Charlotte wouldn't blame Aidan for leaving her. Who would want to willing sign up for playing nursemaid when her body failed her? She didn't want him to leave though. She wanted to come home to him every day until her lungs forgot how to draw breath.
She knocked on his bedroom door and then stuck her head inside. "Hey," she said, offering him a small smile. "Mom sent me home with like a hundred muffins."
