There hadn't been much delay between her getting off the train and the news spreading that she was back. She would be a fool had she expected anything less, but the reality was a sharp and hard shock to her senses. Never mind that she had been gone for a long time, away and contending with other parts in her life, she was back now. Back with a life chasing at her heels that she wasn't sure she wanted anymore.
But there was no going back home to hide, and Serena didn't often do well with hiding anyway. Not like that. She'd pack up and leave, but she wouldn't hide. And in her mind the two were wholly different things.
A slow breath of Manhattan air filled her lungs and Serena shut her eyes, giving herself a few moments for the feeling of it to rush over her. It took a few heartbeats' time, and then she ascended the steps to Constance again.
