It had been almost a week since Addy had taken Henry's medications and tried to OD on them. Six days, to be exact. Six days since Iestyn had seen or even heard from Addy herself. Aderyn, once she was stabalised and medically cleared, had been moved to quite a ritzy, private psychiatric hospital. As such, she wasn't allowed her mobile phone on the ward and she hadn't yet gotten 'phone zone' privileges. Her only way of contacting Iestyn had been praying to David and telling him to pass it along, at least at first. She had seen David in person now twice, and had sent home short letters to Iestyn with David. The letters weren't exactly detailed, but at least it was some kind of contact - mostly gushing about how much she loved him. For two people who were used to talking multiple times a day, it was certainly an adjustment, and Henry could see it was weighing on his husband.

To add insult to injury, it was the second anniversary of their abduction by Lucifer. Thankfully, they had finally gotten the go-ahead for Iestyn to come see Addy. Henry was going to drive him and wait in the waiting room, since he wasn't allowed in. But he wanted to be there before and afterwards, to support Iestyn. Today, of all days, Henry was going to be whatever Iestyn needed him to be.

While they were getting ready to head in to the hospital, Henry had run upstairs to the main part of the house to retrieve his converse. While he was near the door, he happened to glance outside and he noticed a package sitting out there on the stoop. The box was shaped like a shoebox, and addressed to Iestyn.

Having grabbed the package (and completely forgotten his converse) Henry jogged down the stairs to the apartment he shared with his husband. "Babe? You got a delivery. I think it's shoes?" It was, in fact, a pair of what could only be described as open-toed, jean boot-sandals which Addy had purchased for Iestyn as a joke, and then forgotten about. Not that Henry knew that, as he held the box out. "Did you order shoes?"
