Who: Raven and Alice/Demeter
What: A surprise visit
Where: Alice's apartment, Brooklyn
When: Thursday Evening
Alice was exhausted. She really didn’t expect coming home to be as tiring as it was. Vacation was oddly tiring on it’s own but at least she’d been working a pretty good mix of sitting in a car or swimming. Jeremiah’s obsession with beaches helped that out. Since coming home she had to get back into the swing of working, had people to catch up with, was sneaking in rendezvous with Jeremiah- which was probably not healthy- and there was dinner with Steve the night before...
With a sigh she collapsed on her sofa. Tired or not, she was still pretty happy. She definitely had a crush, which she was getting better at admitting to (to herself at least) and honestly- that felt pretty good. It felt girlish and stupid but good. It had been awhile since she had “liked” anyone. There was still a large part of her that kept telling herself to expect the worse, but it didn’t seem to stop her from thinking about him all of the time. And Jeremiah or no Jeremiah- she was back home. She had loved the South but the city was where she’d been raised, her plants were here, her bed was here. Her sofa.
“You’re a good sofa,” she told it, patting one of the pillows. There wasn’t silence, ever really, but the din of the city created it’s own music that was nearly a lullaby for her. With her eyes closed and her heart singing she didn’t even notice the way her plants perked up and started growing- despite it being the dead of night. She just kept listening to the sounds outside of her open balcony door.
