"You have a hedgehog?" Who: Faith, Frankie and Marisa When: Early evening Where: Faith & Frankie's place
Teaching a class wasn't so bad. She only thirty students in each one; two a day for an each, four days a week. Friday's she put in her office hours and dealt with questions or even helping out with the theater department and their plans for this semester's fall production. Everyone always went the way of Shakespeare and she was hoping that they'd pick a different way. A musical would be really nice, especially since this was the University of Michigan and they had a better than average selection of people who could actually carry a tune. It'd been years since Marisa had been part of anything like that and it was just exhilarating. She'd dedicate far more of her time to the whole thing if it wasn't for Jacob. But she had Jacob. He was doing so much better, though he still refused to let himself be taken over a bridge, and Marisa was spending even more time with him. The hearing was getting closer and all that Marisa wanted was for them to have nothing to point to and say that she wasn't a fit mother. Yes there was the march, but no one knew what was going to happen there. Had everyone known what was going to happen then they simply wouldn't have gone.
"Enough of that," Marisa said to herself as she parked the car in front of what she was pretty sure was the right house and reached over into the passenger seat for her umbrella. That thing was getting more use here than it ever had in California. That's what I get for dragging myself back to Michigan. But really? Cats weren't made for weather like this and that included were-cats. Like her and Jacob and her mother. When Marisa was bored she liked to pretend that she'd get full-custody of Jacob and then she'd take him and maybe Felicity, pack up and move back to California. Then she remembered those sort-of dates she'd been on with Julian and how he'd come running at the explosion to help her dig for Jacob and she wondered if she'd really move. And if she wasn't going to move then she needed to re-learn Scarlet Oak and it's people. That was partially what she was doing right now. Well that and she'd been invited so why not? She'd been meaning to meet up with Faith again. She'd come across a few other professors on-campus and Faith was still the only other were she'd met.
Opening the umbrella out the door before she climbed out, Marisa hurried to the front door and pressed the bell next to the handle. This is when I wonder whether or not she meant now or later she'd be around. Because if Faith wasn't home then Marisa had come out in the rain for nothing and that was just... cats didn't like rain and if they came out in it? They needed to be rewarded and if Faith wasn't home then Marisa was going to be stopping off for a pint of Ben & Jerry's.
