Date: April 2, 1999
Characters: Alicia Spinnet, Wayne Hopkins
Location: The Three Broomsticks
Status: Private-ish
Summary: Alicia finds Wayne at the pub after a long day at work.
Completion: Incomplete
It had been another long day at work for Alicia. She loved her kids, really she did. But sometimes reigning in several eight-year-olds could only result in headaches. The girls were in some mini-war over one of the boys, and Alicia couldn't believe it really started that young. She shrugged to herself, figuring they'd move on by tomorrow. Matthew wasn't all that interested in girls yet, anyway. All he had to do was show them his moth-wing collection and they'd go back to their dolls. At least, Alicia hoped so. Even if she had told him he shouldn't bring his collection to school anymore- for the preservation of the wings, of course.
Her walk home, which was starting to become a custom- it gave her time to clear her head before settling into her evening activities- took a turn and she found herself heading to the Three Broomsticks for a pint and some comfort food. She loved the dim buzz of conversation and early afternoon drinkers when she just wanted to zone out.
She pushed open the door with one hand as she started unbuttoning her cloak; it was always toasty in here to her. She noticed Wayne sitting at one of the tables and grinned- that was the other great thing about the pub. Always someone she knew around.
Approaching him, still smiling, Alicia waved. "Hey, stranger," she said, as it felt like it had been far too long between visits, considering how close they lived to one another. "Is there room at this table for me?"
