She's smiling when she walks through the door, and there's a slight spring to her step.

That all changes in the blink of an eye. Kim jerks to a halt, staring.

"Jen."

It's a whisper, barely more than that-- that's all that will come through her suddenly-aching throat.

"Oh, Jen."

still_golden June 17 2007, 04:48:40 UTC

She turns, and her smile lights up her face, as bright and golden as before.

"Kim."

And then she's rushing forward in a swirl of skirts, arms outstretched, to pull her best friend into a hug.

bannion_sight June 17 2007, 05:01:15 UTC

She's laughing and crying at once as her arms go around Jen, and Kim holds on, tight.

"Wait-- I thought-- but how did you--"

Jennifer laughs, holding on no less tightly. "One at a time, Kim!"

"No, you have to answer all my questions at once," Kim teases, before easing her hug just enough that she can lean back and look at her friend's face.

"You-- you look--"

Happy.

"-- you look good."

still_golden June 18 2007, 20:40:41 UTC

"Thanks."

She examines Kim's face, and then nods. "So do you. How are things?"

"They're good," Kim says, and makes a face at the banality of the word. "I mean-- I'm back in Toronto, back to the routine-- Dave is, as well--"

Not Paul, though, and not Jen.

Nor Kevin, of course.

"We all made it home, then."

A pause, and then a questioning look. "Wait -- Paul?"

bannion_sight June 20 2007, 04:54:39 UTC

Kim giggles.

"Jaelle," she explains.

still_golden June 20 2007, 05:02:22 UTC

"You're joking."

bannion_sight June 20 2007, 05:04:41 UTC

Still laughing, she shakes her head.

"No, really-- it's true!"

still_golden June 20 2007, 05:48:49 UTC

"So he's staying in Fionavar?"

She shakes her head in turn, smiling.

"Good for him."

bannion_sight July 2 2007, 02:13:58 UTC

An oddly wistful look crosses Kim's face, but she nods anyway.

"Definitely. Good for him-- and her too. I think they'll be good for each other."

still_golden July 2 2007, 03:29:00 UTC

"Or they'll bite each other's heads off before a week is out," Jennifer laughs.

bannion_sight July 2 2007, 04:02:06 UTC

"Probably not that."

Kim shakes her head, and then beams at her friend.

"I can't tell you how good it is to see you again-- I'm so glad you're back!"

still_golden July 2 2007, 04:36:14 UTC

At that, Jennifer's smile fades into seriousness.

"Kim . . . I don't know that I'll be coming back here again. Tonight is -- a special arrangement."

She takes Kim's hands and squeezes gently, as if the contact can soften the words.
