The Perk [Monday afternoon]
Jaime needed coffee.
And space.
Not really to think about things. He had no idea what he'd even think about. Or, more accurately, he wasn't sure what thinking would accomplish. On the one hand, seeing kids that could potentially have been his as relatively well-adjusted teenagers had been kind of cool. On the other hand, they really just served as reminders that he was... unsettled ("unhappy" wasn't something he was going to admit quite yet). They seemed to come from a happy family, one where he and Momoko, somehow, worked out.
A family that he was never going to get to see, except through these brief glimpses.
So: coffee. And some breathing space. To just... wallow think.
