Gladys invitation to come and stay at her house for a few days couldn't have come at a better time. Higgs had for a while now planned to go and stay with his nan but he hadn't really done much to put those plans in action. And then, her invite had come, something about strange mirrors and whatnot, but it was hardly as if Higgs needed Gladys to have a reason, he was quite happy to just visit. There had also been promises of cake, which Higgs appreciated, even if not required (he would hardly turn the cake away, though). He'd had a lovely dinner with Gladys on Saturday and she'd told him that her new lodger was out with her boyfriend but that Higgs would meet her sooner or later. Mostly, Higgs was glad Gladys had rented a room out to a nineteen-year-old female Gringotts worker rather than a middle-aged ex-crime lord or something (he was sure she would have).
The room Gladys had prepared for him was the room Higgs had stayed in since she'd bought the house. The bed was as comfortable as he remembered it and whilst, unfortunately, it didn't ensure he slept peacefully, it was still better than it could've been. He'd brought Pushkin with him, who had very quickly made friends with Pythagoras, Gladys' tenant's kitten, so thus, when Higgs had gone out for a run, he'd just left the kitten playing together. The run turned into more of a hike-slash-run as Higgs explored the town and its surrounding area. Upon his return, Higgs headed straight for the shower, in which he spent much longer than the army would ever have allowed him to (it was still hard to remember that Higgs was allowed to have long showers).
With a towel around his waist and his running clothes bunched up under one arm, Higgs emerged from the bathroom and walked almost straight into a tiny, blonde girl, who he assumed must've been Caitlin. "Hi," he offered. "You're Caitlin, right? I'm Higgs," he offered shifting his clothes so he could hold a hand out for the girl to shake, ignoring the fact that he was standing in front of her mostly naked.
