To say that her life had gone from something she was accustomed to as of late to something extremely complicated? That would be an understatement. Usually following the first two weeks of the chaos of the school year starting again things fell back into a sense of normalcy for Adeline. But life had decided that for her? This year wouldn’t be going back to how things had always been. Normal had to take a backseat for a moment. Seeing Rydell’s father again after nearly thirty years? It hadn’t been something she was prepared to do. Especially given how she had felt about him way back when she was still in high school herself and they had their relationship. Having herself momentarily thrown back into her high school years had been disconcerting- and something she wanted to forget about as quickly as possible. And the easiest way to do that was to wander around town- as strange as that may seem. There was a time when the town felt like a prison but over the years the familiarity of it gave her great comfort.
She was on one of her walks through town when she spotted a familiar face on the sidewalk and a slow smile spread across her face as she made her way towards him. “Malachai,” she greeted the warlock. With the relationship she had developed with Evelyn during her teen pregnancy she had often spent time around the woman’s coven so she had seen Kai quite often since he was a child. But, of course, everyone was also well-aware that he had a crush on her daughter. A part of her pitied him for it. As genuinely kind as Kai could be? She wasn’t sure she could imagine her daughter ever giving him a chance. She had many issues with trust involving men. Addie couldn’t deny a good deal of that was probably because of her life. “How are you, sweetheart?” @kai-dragoumis
