Who: Lotte and Lena
What: A long over-due meeting over laundry.
Where: Laundry room
When: Afternoon of June 25th
Warnings: Lena thinks Lotte is in love with Bran and that he's Ella's torturer. There might be freak-outs from Lotte's end.
Since returning from France, Lotte found that she couldn’t stay in her apartment for long. The fact that she knew Bran could hear her down below made her too self-conscious. She tip-toed back and forth, didn’t turn the TV on, and went for a walk in the chance of a bad phone-call. Getting out for any reason was taken and she found that it wasn’t too bad to go exploring every once-in-awhile. It kept her mind busy. After being in bed for a week (between the time in France and back in the now) her legs felt weak. She wasn’t sure how she’d be able to go back to the troupe come Monday; not without criticism from her bosses.
Friday afternoon came with the realization that she’d have to make a decision on what to do for Saturday. No amount of distracting could avoid that lot. She did a little research before booking a hotel for Saturday night, on the outskirts of the city, somewhere cheap. A bus went there that she could hop on a few blocks from Bellum – perfect. Packing a suitcase however was more difficult as she realized what avoiding the apartment for a week could do.
She stuffed a basket full of laundry, before heading down the twelve flights of stairs. Ten minutes later, two of the washing machines were running as she waited on the bench with a book. A Christmas Carol might not have been the most appropriate read for the Summer, but at least she knew it ended happily.
