Perfect, I’m just going to need a second to get Gus in his stroller and then we’re good to go.

They have drinks with their friends.

Yeah. That’s why she said it.

Her garden. Or a pub near her place.

Alright. She’ll get the wine out.

Perfect. She’ll be waiting for him.

Nope. Not doing this again.

She’s definitely moving her and her son away from this situation before things get weird.

Fuck. It’s a good thing she’s leaving.

Text to: ᴊᴏᴀɴ [Just checking but we decided on not telling him the truth about Gus, right?]

Lea has decided to pay a visit to Sebastian Moran now that he’s back. Arriving at the cottage she decides to head straight to the duck pond, having a hunch she might find him there.

. . .

Well, you said you needed me so I figured it was important.

… with you? I’m sure he’d enjoy that.

Oh, you’re babysitting?

I… That’s really brave. Both the decision to foster and to do what’s important for you, not for him. Good on you.

That’s so great… How old is she? And how’s she doing? Oh please— I’ll personally come beat his ass if he even dares to think about getting mad. He literally has no right to get upset.

New beginnings.

She’s been dealing with toddler tantrums all day. She deserves (needs) a glass of wine.

It might be time to reach out to ᴊᴏᴀɴ. It’s been… a while. [Txt: Joan] Hi Joan, Gus and I are back in town so I was wondering if you’d like to meet up for a little catch up. Let me know if you’re up for it. x Lea
