This was a bad idea. She was pretty sure Constantine didn't want to talk after that last communication, and he was definitely not in the mood the last time they saw each other face-to-face. But Carol hated anything she couldn't be sure of. She wasn't one to linger on feelings, and she was definitely not patient. She had tried giving him some space, but now she needed to know. And so, she headed to his place and knocked on the door with the hope he would be home.

And maybe not with some random woman or guy- that would just make this way more awkward.

Standing in the doorway, she had her hands in her leather jacket, eyes staring at the ground and a nervous tension in her shoulders that wasn't something she usually carried. Carol looked on edge. Like she was dreading this interaction and impatient for it to be over at the same time.

That Carol looked a bit more relaxed was telling, frankly. The last time someone he'd loved -- really, truly loved -- had broken things off with him, he'd been devastated to the point of... well. There'd been some bad decisions. Something about homelessness and then a stint with a vampire. It wasn't something he cared to think on much these days.

Either way it didn't look like any of that was in the cards right now. Maybe it was for the best. Maybe they'd just been wasting time, after all. It was easy to do. There was a whole lot of time to waste in a place like this. Or maybe he was just making excuses for the whole situation so that he wouldn't have to feel like utter shit for having caught some feelings. Whichever. It didn't matter now.

"Yeah," he said in return. "Prob'ly so."

That didn't mean he wasn't going to have to find a new place to drink, though.
