how other’s would consider that today is such an long day was quite an understatement to the vampire. she stood before the small group in the small two story house that charlie would recently visit and explain how his parents were friends with the previous owners. she was wanting to honor the two with some kind of placement somewhere in the house - yet it was proving to be slightly difficult. “what would you think of using this old quilt - have it cut up and put in a frame to place upon the wall?” she mention the idea to one of the workers before gracing them with an small smile to their answer. 

“i do think it’s a wonderful idea - to commemorate the last owners in their home.” she let out an soft hum before turning her head to the sound of footsteps from the entrance of the house. only close members would see her relax in his presence and how she would seamlessly melt in his embrace, but with the small group of workers from behind would only proven how she would let her eyes grow bigger and fonder in response to the very sight instead. “what can i do for you, darling?” her tone was warm like honey and soft - seemingly waiting upon his response.

charming was not his forte to say the least as he was once more rejected with trying to sit before someone that he had interest in. it was before he could even stand from his place to find the boyfriend coming in and coming to hug her before taking an seat across from her in their own booth. his gaze shift from the couple as he let out an soft sigh in return then gazing over his cellphone screen to push upon an app to distract himself with. until an familiar voice came to him about eight minutes later as he would look up before giving an bright smile toward the person. “hey - i’m just here for the coffee and trying to work on my assignment from school with some notes. want to sit here and chat, catch up?” he offered the empty seat before him with his gaze before looking to her once more.

the disgust was evident in her expression once her eldest brother had his arms wrapped along her, the talk of how sorry he was for leaving her behind once more when she depended on him the most throughout the entire ordeal to begin with. the way he would drop the entire family to run off to seattle to get his life settled in the law firm that he had applied for. she would once again, have to take care of the entire slack without so much of a help from her youngest sister - she wouldn’t dare to put that type of burden upon her. it has been years yet it felt like it were yesterday when she had just turned eighteen that he was able to leave them upon the doorsteps of their family home to take care of himself and his life. the attempt was even futile and she had known this for weeks before even attempting to come see him to ask for money to merely help with the store - something that is left behind by their father and that she would wish to keep going in his honor.

“don’t - you haven’t even understand the burden you left on me. you knew that i wouldn’t let our sister feel it, but you could have helped me this one time.” the look she took in from him spoke for itself instead of him having to spit it out. i do not owe you anything. she didn’t leave much a choice for him to speak as she was out of the law firm with him moving on her tail. just to lose him at the elevator as an simple glare was all he needed - to back off and leave her be, he was tired of attempting to fix what he meant to say in retrospect.

the pouring rain and thunderstorm outside the law firm was not something she needed right now as she made her way through the street quickly. the nearest coffee shop was almost close - just about five minutes away as she finally scurred upon the awing that the coffee shop offers as she let out an sharp huff of air in response. her arm moved to wipe off the tears upon her cheeks along with the droplets of rain as she felt somewhat soaked as she was oblivious to the surroundings in this moment. she was too wrapped up until an familiar voice caught her by surprise in causing her to turn and simply stare in that moment. “mia... i.. just got caught in the rain - what are you doing here?” she let out an sudden small laugh to cover up her previous state - forgetting the mascara that ran along right cheek and was swiped to make an slight black streak along her upper cheek.
