WHO: Abigail Darling → Ginny Weasley
WHEN: Morning of July 8, around 6AM
WHERE: Several blocks down Hacker Blvd from the Darling-Moore home
SUMMARY: Abby goes for her morning run to relax and calm her mind and instead sees a specific celebration after Gryffindor wins the Quidditch Cup during her fifth year, leading her to take a tumble.
WARNINGS: KISSES

( Though the side of her that belonged to Ginny Weasley was still singing at the very thought, the side of her that was Abby Darling could think only of the man she had left sleeping back home. The man that had dreams about the same world as her, except not as Harry Potter. )

I have never been this damn happy to be so tired. And it's not even the fact that my baby girl wakes us up every three to four hours, it's because I can hardly go to sleep because I want to be right there when she wakes up to see her little eyes find our faces and the way the sight of our faces calms her at least a little. Because she knows when she sees us, we'll give her whatever she needs. This is every bit as exhausting and weird as they tell you to expect, but it's everything. I don't even remember who I was before I was my baby girl's daddy.

Hey. I'm Eli and it looks like I'm going to be here for the next while so I'm looking for some recommendations. I'm well travelled enough to know that asking the locals where to start is the best idea, since they actually know what's up.

First, best place to get a good drink around here? From my driving around, there seem to be a lot of options, so I figure coming right out and asking is a good first step.

Second, food. I've been to Grandma's and inhaled more waffles than I probably needed to this morning alone, so I have that one down. But I'm living in a hotel room right now and my meal options are pretty limited to takeout and pop tarts, so tell me where to go.

And that's pretty much it. Alcohol and food are important, so there we have it. I know I could probably go up to DC and find some chains that I'm more familiar with, but that seems like a waste of perfectly good resources here. And, honestly, if there's anything in particular people think just has to be seen in this town if you've never been before, throw it at me. I'm up for anything.

Babe, I'm home. I told you I'd be coming there but I'm just [...] tired. I'm just going to crash, I think, because I need to go see Lyla first thing in the morning. Sorry I was out of touch all weekend. Everything okay on your end?

THEO; added Monday evening after talking to Dani

Can you get a last minute babysitter?
