Normally, Alicia wouldn’t go to the Clinic on Saturdays, but sometimes, it was just needed. Well, maybe ‘needed’ wasn’t the right word. Persephone was working today, her first day alone in the Clinic, and Alicia had promised to come down and be available should she need help with being the first one in. It hadn’t really been needed, and rather than hovering over the obstetrician, Alicia had gone to her office to get caught up on some paperwork.
She was on her way back to her office with a fresh cup of coffee, when she heard a voice she would recognize anywhere. “On my way!” she called back, and hurried into her office… only to shriek when she saw Adrian there. She knew he would be there, but he was purple.
“What happened?” she asked, immediately putting down her coffee and going to him. “Are you hurt? Other than the purple, I mean.”
