RP: Back Without Warning
Date: November 21, 1999 Characters: Charlie Weasley, Verity O'Shea, Possibly Hestia Location: Charlie's Flat, London Private/Public: Private Rating: PG Warnings: possible fighting Summary: Verity stops by to take care of Luca and gets a big surprise.
Today would be different. Verity honestly wasn't sure how she felt about that. She'd been surprised to recieve the invitation to Charles' gallery opening, but she wouldn't refuse, of course. It wasn't polite. And she was lonely. Her life anymore had turned into a dull monotonous routine punctuated by encounters with Kalev which could always go sour at a moments notice (at least she never knew when that would happen.) She woke, she dressed, stopped at Charlie's to feed Luca, went to work until George would force her home, went to Charlie's to feed and walk Luca and maybe stay for a little bit being pathetic, then she would go home- or what she'd come to accept as home. It was always quiet and most nights were spend in a companionable silence reading in front of the fire. Of course if she tried to actually force conversation out of Kalev, that's when things got interesting.
She didn't talk to anyone anymore, just George and Kalev and occasionally Theo- and the customers, of course. Daphne was off with Astoria on... some trip, Miles was in Spain still, she wasn't speaking with Bee, and Westley... well that was a none issue, wasn't it? It had been nice to see Pansy though...
Today, however, she'd be socailising again. She wondered if Bee would be there, probably not... she and Charles hated each other. She checked her appearance again, it was still a shock to see herself in the muggle dress for the opening instead of red robes for the shop. Strange clothes for taking care of a dog in.
She left through the floo in her suites to Charlie's flat, wondering when she'd stop thinking of it that way or what she'd do about Luca when the flat was evicted. She sighed as she stepped out of the floo, surprised that Luca hadn't bounded to her immediately.
"Lu-" she was cut off in the middle of her call as her eyes had taken time to glance around the room. She found Luca. With his head in Charlie's lap. Verity knew it was rude to stare but what else could she do?
