her place, seabrook quarter
Before the rain, he hadn't expected Friday to feel like the longest night in a life that had had far too many long nights. It could have been the claustrophobia of being unable to leave the clinic or the unexpected gut punch of seeing a reminder of how unfixable a former friendship was but he felt like it had put him through the wringer.
He didn't trust himself to be alone and he didn't trust himself to go home either.
That was how he found himself at the only door he could think to show up to in his present state, still in his ridiculous stolen scrubs under his jacket with the rest of the clothes he had been wearing the night before under his arm in a damp balled up shape.
He couldn't stay still even after he knocked, his foot tapping anxiously as he waited for an answer that he wasn't sure was even going to come.
Had she even been home when the storm hit?
Another unanswered question that made his stomach twist with cell service still down.
