“Have you tried the Wolf Lodge in Elkhorn?” Toby suggested. “If not, maybe a no-maj Walmart?”

“Oh. I did not try there.” Elena’s frown deepened slightly. “Walmart scares me. It’s too big.”

“So you want to own your own library?” Toby questioned. “That’s really cool.”

“It is just a dream I have had since I was a child. I feel like it would make my father proud.”

Elena was just grocery shopping when her cart bumped into another. “Oh. Oh!” She smiled once she recognized the other person. “Hi, we went to school together. I am sorry about the cart.”

“I’m glad we keep the real young ones in a different section than the all the snotty kids,” Toby replied. “I try to emphasize the importance of blowing their noses. I make sure we have the really nice tissues too, because then the kids get really upset about it.”

“Ooh. I bet. Kids are really weird like that. But I wouldn’t trade my job for the world-- well maybe if I opened my own library. But I love my job, and I love my students.”

“I found a mouse in my house,” Lena said with a sour expression. “My mom sent me out for mouse traps, do you know where I can get some?”

“Tell me about it,” he said. “We stress even muggle means of medicine when it comes to this shit. Kids are so gross when it comes to sickness.”

“I go out of my way to have bottles of hand sanitizer in the studio. I give it out as a present for good work.” Lena laughed lightly. “I just wish they weren't all so snotty.”

“Ooh, hot chocolate sounds great. I could do with some of that. I don’t think I’ve ever had it from the Hideaway though, so I’m glad you’ve heard good things.”

“Just from a few people.” Elena shrugged. “No one makes it like my mom, though. It tastes like home.”

[elenascastro]

[elenascastro]

“Did you want to get hot chocolate or something? I heard the hideaway makes it really well.”

“I love my job, but this is the worst season to work. The kids are great, but they’re always sick. And now I’m sick.”

“Yeah sure, it’s straight down main street. You can’t miss it. I didn’t know there was going to be a performance?”

“Yeah, there’s one every day at seven,” Elena said, “I think Sierra Kline is performing tonight, she’s on the piano. It’s my favorite instrument to listen to.”

Adam nodded slowly, trying to count the years that had passed, not as many as it felt like. “I enlisted when I was eighteen and served for six years.” He answered plainly. “I was honorably discharged just before I turned twenty four.”

As the song came to an end, Elena hesitated to leave Adam’s arms. However, she did. She stepped back. “Well, thank you for your service. And thank you for the dance.”

[elenascastro]

“Do you know how to get to the gazebo? I don’t want to miss the performance tonight.”

Adam nodded, looking over her shoulder for a moment as memories threatened to overtake him. Something about being back in uniform, talking about the war… He cleared his throat, nodding once. “You can ask.” He said softly, for future reference. 

Lena bit her lip, giving him a small nod. “Okay.” Her voice was soft. Her eyes fell to her arms which were left unmarked from her father’s attack. She knew her dress was risky with the back so exposed, but she figured no one would question it. “When did you serve?”

“Yeah I had the same fight with my dad.” Braxley nodded, “It’s a rough transition to say the least. But it’ll happen eventually. Where are you going to move once your out of your mom’s?”

“I don’t even really know. I just had the thought, and she took it way out of proportion.” Elena shrugged. “I get it, honestly. I just want to be independent.”

Henri couldn’t help but chuckle. “Don’t worry, cherie. I understand.” She let out a soft whistle as she looked at her. “May I say, though, you look absolutely gorgeous.” 

“Oh, thank you so much.” Elena smiled as she looked down at her outfit. “I spent ages picking out this dress, so I’m glad it looks nice.”
