It had been a very long twenty-four hours. Of course, it hadn't been longer than any other twenty-four hour period, but it sure felt like it had. Drawing in a breath, Zatanna settled herself in the corner booth of the small cafe after a waitress showed her to the table. She ordered a cup of coffee, wrapping her hands around the hot mug and taking a slow sip, allowing her eyes to drift shut momentarily as she waited for Dick to arrive and join her.
Her stomach was in knots, and guilt was eating at her, though she did her best to push it back. Logically she knew what happened wasn't her fault. That her words to Emma and Dick were the truth: the werewolf attack had just been a tragic accident. It certainly couldn't be blamed on the werewolf, because from what Emma had told her, the woman didn't even know she was a werewolf. And it wasn't Emma's fault, either, even though the blond was clearly blaming herself.
She didn't understand why such terrible things happened, but she'd always done her best to face tragedy with acceptance and not try to deny its existence. That only made things worse in the end.
