How did we get this far apart?
Characters: Padma, Faelan
Summary: Padma's made a decision, and Faelan's not happy...

Padma sat curled up on her couch, not even able to give herself the comfort of reading as she waited for Faelan. She'd owled him, asking him to come by, but hadn't said why. Gently running a finger across the mostly healed wound on her neck, Padma sighed. She knew what she needed to do... she just hoped Faelan would understand.

It hadn't been easy, deciding to leave the country, but it was only for a while. Just to let things calm down. She was going to owl the man who had taken credit for Mcnair's death - she thought he was in the Department of Mysteries somewhere, maybe - and let him know what was going on in the hope that he could take care of Mcnair. She would ask him to let her know when Mcnair was gone, then she'd come back. Hopefully, she'd be gone no more than a month. Time enough for a break, to take a deep breath and leave some of the horrible things that had been happening behind. Maybe Faelan could even take a few days and come visit... that would be nice.

But first she had to tell him she was going away for a while...
