It had been a very long day. The explosion at the Ministry had alerted Theodore's emergency team, and they still had a few of their patients in their care, some of whom had more optimistic prognoses than others. But really, the majority of the work was the patient overload - since Theodore had taken two weeks off over the holidays, returning to work was crammed with people who'd been forced to wait a bit for their non-emergency appointments. He was efficient, and the workload would get lighter soon, but it was much heavier than he'd anticipated.
Which was why he was just getting home now, at fifteen minutes until eight. He took a very quick shower, not wanting to be in the shower or in a state of undress when Tracey arrived, and moved into the living room, rubbing a hand through his damp hair. He probably should eat something, hadn't eaten since his very late lunch, but he wasn't particularly hungry; instead, he put the kettle on for his nightly cup of tea. Maybe he'd add milk, for a bit of substance.
While he waited for Tracey to arrive and the water to boil, he sat down on the couch and stretched out his legs, giving a contented sigh at the feeling of being off his feet. If this continued, he was going to need another vacation soon.
