Alicia had planned on spending Mothering Day with the twins at her parents’ place in Bath. They’d gone in the morning and along with her brother prepared brunch for the family, and the rest of the morning was spent trying to avoid her children getting too spoiled by their grandparents. It was a losing battle, something she should have probably acknowledged five years or more ago, and yet… she still kept fighting that battle.

Seeing Adrian’s message in the journal, though, it didn’t take her long to get things arranged with Sam to have him take the children back to London and stay the night – if need be – and after a quick change of clothes, she Floo’ed directly to Adrian’s flat.

“Adrian?” she asked as she was vanishing the ash on her clothes.

Adrian was in his potions room, trying to focus on something other than his father's heated words when he'd portkey'd to see his Mother for Mothering Day. He'd come back and written Alicia right off, feeling bad for bothering her on her own holiday but not having anyone else he might be able to reach out to about this sort of this.

Hearing her come through the floo he exited his potions room and went to her for a crushing hug. Not one for theatrics, though, he stepped back and gave her a kiss on the cheek in a more proper greeting.

His father had brought up the family... demons, as they were... as his birthday had just passed. Phrases like you're not a child anymore, and and what of this girl you're seeing repeated through his mind as they had all evening.

"I'm sorry to take you away from the kids, it really could have waited," he said by of apology as he moved away from her and into the kitchen, figuring a glass of something warm and alcoholic might bring him back to his senses.

Alicia’s concern for Adrian gave way to a momentary thrill of seeing him again when he came out of the potions room. Her worry, however, was back almost instantly, even before she wrapped her arms around his waist and disappeared into his embrace. She hadn’t a clue what could have him in a bind like this, but something was and the fact that it was affecting the way he greeted her…? That wasn’t Adrian at all, and whatever it was, it had to be bad.

“No, don’t worry about it,” she assured him, following him into the kitchen. “They’ve been bossing my parents around all day and were thrilled that Sam would be taking them home tonight.” That thought had a small smile appear on her lips. “Besides, I’ve missed you.”

Moving in front of him, she rested a hand on his hip, looking up to meet his eyes. “What happened, Adrian?” she asked him straight out.
