Going to See Kim

[ever_noteful]

She takes the time to change back into her own clothes before she goes upstairs. Fairy tale dresses, she has decided, are very lovely in book illustrations, but rather less than practical for everyday wear

It doesn't take long.

There's the sound of footsteps moving swiftly, then that of a lock clicking back, and Kim pulls the door open.

"Meg. Hi."

Gray eyes search her sister's face.

"Is it over? Whatever it was?"

Meg doesn't make any move to go into the room.

She just nods.

"Yes. I'm back. And I'm fine. And it's over."

A subtle tension slips from the set of her shoulders. Kim nods back, and lets her breath sigh out.

"Okay."

After a second's awkward pause, she appears to realize something, and moves to one side of the door.

"Want to come in?"

[ever_noteful]

Meg shrugs.

"I guess," she says.

She kind of just wants to go home, honestly.

But she comes into the room, a little ways.
