Thomas had been hiding his ghosts. He knew that the whole thing was driving Lydia half insane and he didn't want to add to her stress. So he hadn't said a word to her when Alby had showed up...or Chuck. Or Newt. Or Teresa. He'd simply swallowed his feelings and tried to remain stoic. It hadn't been easy.
Thomas wasn't a person without feelings. Far, far from it. And that stoicism in the face of his saddest moments had been nearly impossible to hold.
So he hadn't spent much time with Lydia this last week, which was upsetting him as well. Along with being his girlfriend, she was his best friend, and he knew that she was suffering. He just felt that staying away from her would keep it from getting worse. She didn't need his ghosts, too.
Stumbling a little from his stress and exhaustion, he entered Starbucks, desperate for espresso. He got the biggest latte he could fine (with an extra shot), and took a seat near the back, leaning his head on the table, pretty sure he was going to fall asleep before his drink got cool enough to drink.
