She'd been good. Anne had kept herself busy, working on the Fiber Initiative, and generally working on her own survival. But, it was a small village, and eventually there was a party that both she and Eddie had ended up at. Their own conversation ranged from easy banter to light concern, with moments where she remembered why she was keeping her distance; she recognized it was one thing to say 'I can not be with you because I'm with someone else', and 'I can't be with you because you're you'. It was never easy for her, when Eddie kept peppering their conversations with those happy, crazy moments of their relationship.

Oh, but she'd had a moment at the party and almost fell right into it, like a big rusty beartrap. She'd been polite, had circumnavigated that pothole and was able to eventually take her leave.

Had that been the end of it, she probably would have had a fine evening relaxing at home with Lynn and a glass of wine. That it wasn't was the reason she's now outside of Foggy's door with two mugs of tea to precariously - expertly - clutched in one hand as she knocks on his door.

"Hey, Foggy, it's Anne. Are you free?"
