Who: Tim and Audrey
When: Sunday Morning
Where: Her place
What: Surprise visit
Rating: TBD

The day after Halloween, and the first day of November. It was chilly, crisp, and clean. Tim was in a smashing mood. He was going to visit Audrey, and stupid Percy wouldn't be there. This morning, Tim was dressed sharp. He could claim he was going to church, or something if she asked, but the truth was he wanted to look nice to see her. He'd stopped by a cafe to pick up some breakfast cake and a couple cups of tea, then apparated to her doorstep and knocked. It wasn't the first time he'd been in her home, but it may very well have been the first time when Percy was out of the country.

On her doorstep between knocking and the answering of the door, Tim was thinking about Emma, and the fun they'd had on their date swing dancing. He thought about kissing her. He thought about her hair, her smile. He almost half-expected her to answer when the door swung open.

	Tim gave a little nod, but he still couldn't look at her. He simply closed his eyes for a moment, counting in his head. He could hear the tears in her voice, and was doing his best not to follow in her lead. It was hard. "Yeah, me too." He said, very softly. When he opened his eyes they were rather wet. "I should go."

Audrey didn't try to stop him. What was she going to say? Please stay and they could talk about this? Audrey wasn't going to insult Tim like that. But she didn't want him to leave. She wanted her best friend not to be hurting. It killed her that there was nothing she could do to make it better.

Her heart stung when Audrey saw the tears in Tim's eyes and she looked down at the table. "All right," she said quietly. She hated herself for doing this to him. "I'll..." What? Talk to him soon? See him later? Audrey sighed and knew she was going to have to wait for Tim to feel ready to talk to her again.

In the course of a few days her husband had gone off and now she was losing her best friend. Audrey had never felt so alone. "Goodbye," she said while staring down at the table.

	Tim climbed up out of his chair and walked toward the door. He felt completely numb now. It was out in the open, and his feelings weren't reciprocated. Well, at least now he knew. He turned to her, feeling terrible for what he'd just done to her. After a very brief moment he bent down to kiss her cheek. It was quick, then he turned to let himself out. (Reply to this) (Parent)
