Phin's Temporary Apartment, Thursday Night, Bridget & Phin
Luckily, Phin had been unable to sleep on Wednesday night so he'd spent most of the night rearranging and cleaning his temporary home. Bridget was coming Thursday night to look at it and he wanted it as perfect as possible. He wasn't sure he would be able to handle it if he had to go another week or more to see the kids if she disapproved. He couldn't do this 'only talking to the kids on the phone' thing. It was driving him nuts and they kept asking when he was coming home, which made him have to lie to them constantly.
He'd been late getting home so he rushed though a shower. By the time he'd finished drying off and changing, he'd decided that if Bridget denied him to the chance to have the kids with him for the day, he was showing up at the Manor apartment. His name was on the lease. He was allowed to be there, damnit. He managed to finishing pulling a comb through his still wet hair as the knock came to the apartment door, since Phin had at least had the foresight to give Bridget the key code to get in the door downstairs.
He headed to the door, unhooked the chain, flipped the lock and pulled the door open as he took a deep breath. He pulled the door open and then promptly let out all the air he'd inhaled as his shoulders fell. It'd been awhile and he'd forgotten exactly how beautiful he'd always thought she was. So he wound up stupidly staring at her for a good minute or so before he managed to blink and clear his throat before he stepped back to let her in, forcing his eyes down to his shoes. This gave her a nice view of the small welt on the left side of his jaw by the back of it.
