About and Out, Late Afternoon, Alec
Alec wasn't sure what he'd been thinking, going into the Mocha like that given the bombshell Emma had nonchalantly dropped at Sunday dinner. Of course it would be all over by now; gossip was like blood in this building. Constantly flowing. But somehow it still caught him by surprise, hearing Emma's name hissed in whispers by complete strangers.
Joy had even dropped several hints that the man in question, Niles SomethingOrOther, had recently passed through and gone out to the garden. Alec wasn't sure she could have been more obviously looking for a fight than if she'd been selling tickets while pouring his coffee.
But he'd already gone around with Ang over it more than once and her stance on the subject meant he stood to lose his wife as well as Emma if he said anything...harsh. So he grit his teeth and left Joy disappointed, leading Faith resolutely away from the doors to the gardens and out through the lobby instead.
Riverwalk Park was bound to be a safer bet.
