Suite 138: Angela sleeps over, V2

[alwaysroomforhope]

Gifr and Gheri: twin bundles of fluff blessed with boundless energy. The slightly less-than-pristine state of the apartment can be attributed to that - chewed cushions, scattered books, and so on. At least there's no pee on the carpet yet ...?

When Steph opens the door, they both bound towards the newcomers, yipping gleefully. They like Angie! Does Steph have meat? Is there food? What's going on? Talk talk talk talk talk!

... Steph points Angie at the couch and goes to get them food. That seems the easiest way to quiet them down.

Steph holds tight, wishing she knew what to say.

"We won't let it happen again," she promises, stroking Angie's hair. Because you can't really say 'it's over' or 'it's all right now' when it's so clearly not.

Angela nods, sniffling. "Just wish I could stop with the pain and tears."

She sighs. "I'm so tired of it."

"It'll get better," Steph promises her. "It will. It just takes a while."

Steph knows.

Angela nods, leaning her head against Stephanie's shoulder wearily.

"Sorry to cry all over you. Again."

"Hey," Steph says, elbowing her gently. "If you apologise one more time I'm gonna have to sic Zuko on you or something. It's okay, Angie. That's what friends are for."

She smiles a little. "Yeah. But now I want to just veg out in front of the television and eat more chocolate," she says with a laugh.

"That," Steph says, "we can do." She shifts puppy aside to go for extra chocolate. "All night long."
