Haven, Maine, over the weekend

[betterthanaplan]

The last time Octavia had been to Haven, she'd gotten arrested and Gloria had had to go yell at the Chief of police.

The last time Duke had been to Haven, he'd gotten arrested and Gloria had had to go yell at the Chief of police.

They could both be forgiven for being a little nervous pulling into the harbor now, even without the "let's go meet our mutual therapist in person" part of the deal.

[for one! NFB due to distance]

"So, uh." Duke clapped his hands and rubbed them together. "Lunch. Preferably somewhere we won't get threatened out of."

"Second Chance?" Gloria suggested. "They're opening in just a couple weeks, I'm sure Geoff would love to have you come by and make fun of pigeons."

Duke tilted his head at Octavia. "What do you think? It's pretty much guaranteed to only be us."

"I don't know what that is," Octavia pointed out, as if the name didn't speak to her and as if 'pretty much guaranteed to be just us' wasn't a major selling point. (It did and it was.) "Sure?"

“My friends’ restaurant. They’ve been shut down for awhile, fixing the place up. It’s a gorgeous spot, right by the water. . . .”

“Kitten, you’re babbling.”

Duke sighed. “I do that, yeah.”

"I like places by the water," Octavia offered, with a look up at Duke.

Because she didn't mind the babbling.

"Well, what are we waiting for, then? Get your asses in the car." Gloria patted Duke on the back and gave him a shove.

Octavia didn't need to be told twice to get moving.

A private space and Duke's actual friends sounded perfect for right now.
