Chloe was dealing with a lot and when she had a lot of emotions to work through her number one reaction was to avoid it and throw herself into work. She didn't have work here. She just had a hotel full of people she hadn't really taken the time to get to know and two crazy instances where she was not herself. Well, she was herself the first time, but who she was then and not who she was now. A lot of things weighed on her mind, one of them being the fact that she was being so easily manipulated by the hotel. That had been eating her, but she'd been trying to keep on a brave face to keep Lucifer from worrying. That was a bit harder when they were living with each other, but there was another distraction in play. His mother and his 'evil' twin had arrived into the mix. She was ready to ignore them, or just shoot Michael a few more times to make herself feel better, but it kept nagging at her. Why did Lucifer get to have his family to show up? And the post mentioning Thanksgiving only reminded her that it would be her first year celebrating it without her daughter. While the last thing she needed was for Trixie to be in a place with monsters that clawed people to death, questionable food offerings, and dinosaurs, she knew the girl would have loved all the wonders despite the dangers. Most of all, she just selfishly wished she could hold the girl in her arms. She missed her so much. The office seemed like an ideal place to hide away. Now abandoned, she had closed the door and sat down on the couch in hopes of having a good solid frustration cry. It was the only place that didn't appear like it'd get much traffic. While the woods also seemed ideal, anyone could walk by as people just loved to go for walks. The last thing she needed was someone seeing her a complete emotional mess. |
