The paparazzi were becoming a pest, but at least Shadowcrest seemed to be as disgusted by them as Zee was. The house had taken to shuttering the windows whenever a camera showed up too close and setting off the alarm system which would inevitably get the neighbors complaining to the cops. Since Zee didn't technically have an alarm system there was never any proof so the only damage was a patrol officer scaring off the shutterbugs. Maybe now the press would believe that she wasn't dating anybody...which was kind of depressing, actually. Zee sighed at herself often these days.
She arranged to meet with Ollie for coffee. It was a risk being in public, but damn it! She wasn't hiding! She refused to wear a hat or sunglasses, and she would have refused to use the damn cane except her knee was still not happy about her being hit by that truck no matter how many healing rituals she did.
So she was only limping slightly when she came into the coffee shop looking around for a blonde head.
