A while has passed since Beverly found herself transported far out into the distance away from the village and while she and Jean-Luc had eventually made their way back, the idea that it could happen again hadn't really left her mind. She's been meaning to keep up with several of her friends here ever since she got back, but one thing or another has kept her away. For the most part, life has been oddly quiet lately. Last month was a bit crazy with the forced expedition along with waking up in the fountain again. Honestly, Beverly keeps expecting something else to happen.

That combined with what she knows of certain people has her a little more worried than usual.

It's closer to evening when she finds herself making her way through the village. If someone were to stop her and ask what she was planning on doing, she might not be able to answer. But eventually, her feet take her to the doorstep of two people she knows and wants to check on most of all. Peggy and Stella have both been through so much here. It's the least she can do to be a decent friend to both of them.

As though coming out of a fog, she lifts a hand to the door, giving it a few firm raps in the hope that one or the other of them is there. Maybe both, if she's lucky. Either way, part of her wants to check on them and part of her, a part she's been trying to bury when she's around anyone other than Jean-Luc, keeps chewing over what happened to the people who were beamed out not that long ago. It adds yet another layer to everything and makes Beverly just as convinced that they're in a really elaborate simulation. Again.
