Covent Garden Flowers, Tuesday

[shiroi_tiger]

Children had come and gone, and there hadn't been a single one here for Nathan. He was fine with that, for the most part. Having them here was always nice, but parting with them again would have been extra bittersweet, especially given his own continued attempts to get back home to Taka and hers. He felt perhaps a little bit wistful; he wouldn't have minded something, after all, but the island would do as it pleased, and there was little sense dwelling on what didn't happen yesterday when tomorrow was still on the way.

Or next month, as the case was. Calls were already starting to trickle in booking arrangements for Mother's Day, because apparently there was no such thing as rest in a flower shop, even on a small island. He took those orders down, of course, in between working on a simple arrangement that reminded him of Taka and Higen and Magojiro...

It would be coming home with him, today. This particular arrangement wasn't for sale.

Furnado Animal Shelter, Tuesday

[puppy_fair]

Zack had missed work last week on account of pollen-inspired-vacation, and he found himself sorely tempted to miss it again today. He'd slept in a little, unable to get himself to sleep last night for reasons that weren't the usual reasons, for once. They still weren't great reasons. But they were new ones.

In the end, he'd decided to split the difference and put in a half day, not coming in to the shelter until the afternoon. And then he was going to just kind of park himself in the puppy pen and let them climb all over him until a customer showed up or the vet needed to talk to him or something.

There. That was sort of like a solution.

Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

The day after the kids left was always a tough one, but this year was especially hard, for Reasons. Kitty was no stranger to alternate timelines and possible futures and for the most part she'd always handled that stuff just fine, but now she had too many big questions she couldn’t get the answers to yet, and maybe there were certain answers she was hoping for, and maybe she was worried about her reaction if she got different ones, and anyway there was a lot going on in her head right now.

FIRST ROUND FREE
EVERYTHING IS DEPRESSING

Other people probably were having a lot of thoughts too.
