Row trailed up the path to Speare Mansion, it had been a while since she'd been here. It had been a while since she'd seen anyone from around here, having spent what seemed like a long time at home with her parents and the rest of her family. She wrapped her jacket tighter around her, but it didn't quite hide the now more visible bump of her stomach. She bit her lip to stop herself groaning out loud. No one had prepared her for this. What was marginally worse, was that the jacket wasn't even hers. It was Will's and much as when she'd found it in her bag when she arrived home and realised she'd packed it by mistake she couldn't look at it for days, she'd grown into the habit of not going anywhere not wearing it. She knocked lightly on the door, waiting for one of them to open it.

I hear the knock on the door but don't register it for a few seconds or so, still staring at my hands which were locked together in front of me as I sat doing literally nothing in the living room. I'd been sitting around doing literally nothing a lot lately. I sigh slightly, getting to my feet and pulling open the door, then allowing myself the first but still strained smile since I'd heard Rowan and Poppy weren't coming home. "Heya runt," I say softly.

"Heya tall person," She smiles weakly in response, stepping forward and wrapping her arms round him without waiting to be invited in, "I missed you."

"I missed you too Row," I mumble, hugging her back.

"How are you holding up? You look awful," She bites her lip slightly, glancing up at him, "Honestly you do. How long since you last slept? Ate? Did anything productive?"

"Don't," I mutter, drawing away and shutting the door behind her.

"Okay," She says quietly, not wanting to press too much.

I stay quiet for a moment, then shut the door behind her, "Want a drink or anything?"

"No thank you," She replies, wrapping her arms lightly round her and pulling Will's jacket round her tighter.

"So how was home?" I ask, putting a hand lightly on her back and steering her through to the living room.
