The Park, Saturday Evening

Atton had gone for a walk, as he did almost every night here, now. Alone with his thoughts, and the quieting life of town. But then he'd seen the lights at Caritas, felt the tell-tale bustle of Three Minute Dates, and he'd just... kept going.

He hadn't been in the mood for Three Minute Dates in a long time.

(It maybe also wasn't the only thing - or person - that he'd sensed today. And maybe he didn't quite know what to do with that right now, improbably, even though he and Si were on fine terms and he wasn't nearly the mess he'd been the last time he'd stayed in her universe, forever ago as it seemed.)

So instead he found himself at the Park, as he so often did, too. Lingering near the edge, by a tree, watching the ducks settle in to sleep, occasionally turning around to see if he could get a glimpse of Caritas.

It had been, he reflected, a good decision to pick up therapy again last month.

"I wouldn't mind that, actually." Minus the yarn.

She nodded. "Maybe not actually knitting."
