Apr 05, 2007 11:58

Date: April 5, 2005
Characters: Parvati Patil, Padma Patil
Location: Parvati's flat, Copper Towers
Status: Semi private
Summary: Parvati gets an unexpected visitor
Completion: Complete

I really need to get out of the house, Parvati thought.

Although she was proud of herself for putting in a full week so far, she seemed to come home from work and drop into bed from exhaustion.  At least the sleep was (mostly) uninterrupted.  Only two dreams in the last five days.  And no more panic attacks during the day, not for a week at least.  Yes, the dread and depression were still there, but she was quite able to put on a happy face, at least at work.

And last week, her pleasure at seeing Dean, that hadn't even been an act.   And Lavender--when Parvati went down to drop off soup and her mother's nausea potion--hadn't noticed anything wrong, and usually she was able to read Parvati like a book.  Of course, Lavender had been a bit out of it.

But, all in all, a vast improvement from two weeks ago.

Of course, she hadn't been up for socializing, and dating...oh that was a long way off yet.  The idea of seeing anyone other than Charlie....

And Charlie...

You really ought to just write to him, if only to apologize.

No, he hates you.  If he really wanted to know what happened, he would have been in touch, wouldn't he?

A knock on the door interrupted her musing.

Charlie?

More likely Lavender.

Still, she liked the idea of company, so she rushed to the door.
