A little rain before the bright sky (Open to Caritas types0
The evening hadn't gone at all like Fred had expected. She should have just danced, smiled pretty for the camera, and waited. She should have played the part, but her mouth went away with her. Plus, for all she knew, she could have had a wonderful night. It could have been a silly fear. Jack had been right in suggesting they sleep on it. Things may be better in the morning, and she wouldn't have some strange sinking feeling in her stomach, like when she ate the six hot dogs then followed it with a chocolate milkshake chaser. That was never a good idea. The smart woman knew that it was nothing like the hot dogs and milkshake; it was nothing like anything she'd ever experienced before.
Rather than going straight home, which might have been a very good idea, Fred went in search of the only friend she could think of who knew her. Or sort of knew her. He could know her with just a few bars of "Oh, Susannah." He'd probably tell her she was being silly, or he'd see what could happen, just anything. She needed help, and he might be the best choice.
She arrived at Caritas, still dressed for a formal function. She needed a shoulder to cry on, or an ear to listen. She needed help finding her path. That was why she walked in and looked around for the coolest demon in the City. Since she didn't see him right off, she headed to the bar to ask the bartender if he'd seen him.
