[ the reality is that she has a job she can afford to leave like this, since the odds of anyone spontaneously requiring art supplies in the middle of the afternoon are pretty low and she can always call someone else to come over and cover for her if it's an emergency. here and now, there's nothing that hasn't convinced her that this isn't an emergency, that she's needed somewhere else, and as soon as she can make sure the store is locked up with the keys left in a place for the next employee to retrieve she's already running over.
it used to take her almost twenty minutes to cross town from work to the house she knows as well as her own. now she can do it inside of five.
by the time she slows to a walk further up the street, rounding the corner, she doesn't even have to draw in a harsher breath through her nose to pick up on the hints of a familiar scent on the summer breeze, and her theory about addy's whereabouts are confirmed the moment she spots her on the front porch. making it from the sidewalk to where addy's sitting is more of a blur as she lets her senses guide her, where she finally lets her bag drop to the wood and then sinks to sit on the swing too before wrapping her arms around the other woman for a steady embrace, a sigh breathed into addy's hair. ] I'm so sorry.
