she isn't in the office as much anymore, working from home most days after clara's birth and only going into the office once or twice a week, but when she does go in, she always feels a strange jab of disappointment at the sight of what was naomi's desk, now occupied by some —

[𝓝aomi @ofencrypting]

hearing her words caused her to look down into her lap. she missed it too, wished she just wasn’t as stupid for what she did.

“ I know. . I know “ bearing about this new cafe caught her attention. “ oh I’ve actually saw them

new IT bro. the kind of IT employee who is good at their job but with an ego that causes susie to hate calling him for help with anything.

her head nods enthusiastically, "opened last week! maybe we can go there and then to one of the bookstores? i've been wanting to treat —

her frown only deepens, lines setting heavily between her brows.

"you were safer when you were working for me."

she does perk up, though, at the suggestion of food, "oh, i'd love to go out for brunch! there's a new cafe a few blocks from the office that looks adorable!"

[𝓝aomi @ofencrypting]

seeing the frown caused her to mirror it, she didn’t mean to concern or worry the other with the matter.

“ some things can’t be done via a computer on a different network. . but I am being trained on how to take care of myself “

"i thought you were supposed to be a hacker," she murmurs with a frown, "why are they sending you into the field so much?"

a small laugh escapes and she nods her head, "i'm sure they're enjoying, but i think i'm enjoying it more. it's nice to have a bit of a break. i'm going —

“ I was just lucky I wasn’t alone “

watching her gently brush against the scar, taking another sip of her coffee. “ I bet she’s loving it. How long has she got her for today? “

[𝓢𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒆 𝓑. @glaciesetaurum]

reaching out, fingers gently brush over the scar, "it looks so much better now." she'd been more than a little concerned by the original wound.

"I'm pretty good. nothing too interesting going on. kate is hanging out with clara for the day."

[𝓝aomi @ofencrypting]

“ well, other than this on my arm , been okay actually “

showing the healed over scar, shortly taking a sip now humming happily

“ oh this is good, what about you? “

[𝓢𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒆 𝓑. @glaciesetaurum]

she holds the glasses toward natasha. "can you hold these while i open the bottle?

[𝓢𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒆 𝓑. @glaciesetaurum]

that's easy for natasha to say. she isn't the one who didn't know that there had been cameras placed throughout her home, in her baby's nursery, for who knows how long.

"oh, it's a te mata pinot noir. it's one of my favorites."

digging into her pocket for the bottle opener, —

no. don’t say that. susan hasn’t failed as a mother in any sense. she’s just a woman going through something no one should, who just happens to have a small child. nobody plans for this— even her. she never —

happy weekend, susie nation 💛🩷

following naomi further inside, she takes a seat on the couch beside her, back straight.

taking a sip of her coffee, she glances toward the other, "how's your week been?"

[𝓝aomi @ofencrypting]

pulling her hand away gently now fixing her shirt a little before taking the coffee.

“ it’s okay, come sit and chill out for a little while yeah ? “

sharing a soft smile and now sitting down on the couch , sitting on her legs.

[𝓢𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒆 𝓑. @glaciesetaurum]

teeth close around her bottom lip and she glances down at where naomi's hand rests on her arm.

". . . . . . i'm sorry. sometimes i just . . . . . " her voice trails off and she abruptly jerks her hand forward with naomi's cup of coffee. "this is yours."

[𝓝aomi @ofencrypting]

“ Susie “ softly spoken as she places her hand upon her arm gently for reassurance.

“ you are okay honestly, I actually slept for a while last night. I promise it’s okay and also you’ve got me coffee so currently right now you’re are

lowered, locked on a coffee stain on the kitchen floor. she needs to clean that. it looks like it's been there for a few days.

[𝓢𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒆 𝓑. @glaciesetaurum]

she can't squash the sense of shame that clenches in her chest, can't stop thinking that she's the one supposed to be looking after kate. she had promised herself at their father's grave that she'd look after her sister.

nodding her head at the question, her gaze remains —

[‘ 𝓚ate @ofbowsnpizza]

seeing the wound with some of the jacket stuck to her causing her to open up one of the wipes.

“ can I? “ asking for permission as she looks up to her sister
