Who: Freddie and Persephone
Where: The Berry Days Festival
When: Afternoon
Today was a potentially depressing day. It was Claire Korey's funeral, today, and although Freddie wasn't sure she had traded more than a few sentences with the girl the whole time they'd known each other, it still weighted on her that she had
died. She supposed it was because of the traumatic experience they shared not long ago.
This wasn't easy for Freddie, because although she knew she should pay her respects, wakes and funerals and all that they entailed simply gave her very swift panic attacks. And Freddie wasn't about to go into one of those intentionally. So, she had decided not to go to the funeral, but calling Gabe anyway the day after, maybe, and headed to the Berry Days Festival instead, because staying at home just made her think of Claire, and Gabe, and how fucking sad it all was.
Berries. Berries were the answer. Freddie walked aimlessly around the festival, Amadeus safely in her messenger bag enjoying the day's berries she'd given him - and hopefully he wouldn't die of berry poisoning, or something, over it. As for Freddie, a raspberry smoothie in a plastic cup occupied her hands while she hummed to The Beatles playing on her iPod.
