It wasn’t as hard as she initially thought to find the towers. While there were relatively few people out and about, less than Betty would have assumed for a small, New England town, the ones who braved the spring air were quite happy to point her in the right direction. Getting a real map of the area was now on her to-do list, once she got temporarily settled somewhere. Learning the lay of the land was always important, especially in a new place. It came from being a military brat; her father had ingrained the habit in her from an early age, and the scientist was now absurdly grateful.
Her steps slowed a little as the buildings came into view, an ill-timed shyness warring with her need to see Bruce in the flesh and make sure he was alright. But of course he was. There was simply no other choice. Bruce was okay because she needed him to be, and if that was selfish? So be it. But if he wasn’t … no, she couldn’t even complete the thought. Not after all he’d been through. She took a deep breath and made herself keep moving forward, turning the last corner in a swirl of boots and calf-length skirts, and headed across the street. Betty checked her watch as she stepped up onto the sidewalk, wrinkling her nose when she realized that she was almost a minute late. Crap.
“Bruce?” She glanced around, looking for the man she’d last seen two months ago.
