wendy knew something was off the moment she stepped inside her room. and, indeed, her suspicions were confirmed when she turned on the lights and was met with an all too familiar sight near her window. ❛ chased your shadow here again, then ? ❜ wendy inquired with a knowing little smile, her voice only wavering slightly. a part of her wanted to run straight towards peter and hug him; overwhelm him with love and questions about both his well-being and his trip —– all while apologizing for leaving him behind and that she’d missed him more than anything in this entire universe. she decided against it, though, playing safe instead and walking towards her bed in order to keep a distance between them.
with her gaze stuck to where he was standing, she continued: ❛ i —– erm, i expected to see you again for some weird reason, so i kept my window open just in case. i noticed the thimble went missing a little while ago and i was hoping it might be you. because, you see, i tend to keep my stuff organized at all times so the chances of me losing it myself are extremely rare. and, like, the only other people who could’ve taken it are john and michael, but they wouldn’t do that since they know i was planning on returning it to you since— ❜ wendy stopped herself from saying another word, staying quiet for a couple of dreadful seconds. only then she sat herself down on the bed as she felt quite tense, shifting her gaze towards the ground. she had the nasty habit of rambling about all things pointless whenever she was nervous, so she squeezed her eyes shut and rubbed her temples as an attempt to calm her own mind down. she hated this, truly, having to keep her nerves in check when peter was supposed to be the one person who she could be herself with as her oldest and bestest friend. wendy felt as if she had to walk on eggshells around him now, the uncertainty of their future weighing a bit too heavy on her. ❛ welcome home, peter, ❜ she softly announced then, offering him a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes, ❛ we all missed you terribly. ❜
