Lavender hadn't been in such a dark place in awhile. She had been struggling to keep her head up since the attack on her flatblock but being essentially homeless with a baby on the way had lent itself to plenty of anxiety. The fight with Michael had left a cold dead place inside of her. She would have preferred that they scream and throw things, what had actually happened hurt a lot more and was much more frightening. Essentially she had written him out of her life- which she would have never guessed.
Hearing more of Cormac's opinions on her, hearing Isaac's opinions- she was just done with it all. She didn't want to know what Charlie thought.
When the ward came from Susan she didn't hesitate to take her up on the offer. She was resolved not to push her shit on others as Michael had accused but being there for a friend sounded like a good distraction. She got up and got dressed immediately, happy to get a chance to wear her cute new maternity clothes
"Of course. Are you okay?" She asked, pulling Susan into a tight hug.
