Phil had long since come to terms with the fact that Kitty was gone, that she wasn't coming back. He hated the fact, was always going to miss her, was always going to grieve the loss of her, but... he'd still come to terms with it and he liked to think that Kitty would approve of that fact. The vast majority of the time, it didn't hit particularly hard -- or at least, it didn't hit any harder than that sort of thing should. Every now and then, though, it hit just a little differently.
And those were the days where he had to force himself not to retreat into his work. It helped that he knew there were more than a few people who would kick his ass in one way or another if he did -- and some of them weren't even people he knew all that well.
The joys of having been in town for almost a decade.
He'd finished work at a fairly respectable hour, but he wasn't quite ready to head home yet. Solution? Dinner at the buffet. It kept him away from the house a bit longer and it ensured he remembered to eat. (Though the forgetting to eat thing wasn't restricted to moments like this. It tended to happen when he got busy or stressed in general.) And he wouldn't even object to company if somebody decided to join him.
