The apartment felt empty without Jude in it.
It had been a few days since their discussion (fight?), and Soh was already out of her mind with anxiety over the entire debacle. Why hadn't she just kept her mouth shut? How had she managed to screw up so badly? He had said he wasn't angry when he left, that he wasn't breaking up with her, but they'd never needed space before. He'd never wanted to be away from her before. And that he'd left her with a request to think about what she wanted?
Gods, she didn't even know anymore.
She'd considered her next move, and anyone she could think to talk to was immediately discarded. She could hardly go to someone like Phoebe, who would be perfect except for the fact that she was Jude's mother. Tal was perhaps her best friend aside from Jude himself, but somehow she didn't think the courier was going to be up for a heart to heart about her love life. And so she had gone through her list of friends, discarding this person and that for various reasons, until she got to Flora.
Flora. Of course.
So she'd sent a letter to ask if Flora wanted a vacation in Stormbreak. They could go shopping, visit the Eye of the Storm, do girly things and talk about boys. It was perfect. Hopefully.
Soh had cleaned up the apartment, her heart aching but her mind hopeful for a good time with her friend. And maybe Flora could help her make sense of the mess that had taken up residence in her head. When the knock sounded on the door, Soh rushed downstairs to fling it open with a bright smile. "Flora!" she squealed, hugging the other girl and ushering her inside. "Thank you for coming. How was your trip?"
