Sep. 23rd, 2017 10:58 amAt this point Luke has no doubt Michelle already knows about Reid having left Darrow even without being the one to tell her. Breaking the news to Jack had drained him of his ability to tell almost anyone else and he'd done it where necessary, but for the most part he had tried to let people find out through others. That's one responsibility he just can't shoulder at the moment.
But there are other things he needs to take care of and the most pressing matter at this moment is finding someone willing to stay with Jack on the night of the full moon. Luke knows he could ask Magnus or Alec -- or both of them, really -- and that they would probably be happy to stay, but he often gets the sense that Jack feels secure with Michelle in a way he does with few other people and that's important at a time like this.
Today, rather than asking Michelle to come to him, he's forced himself out. It'll be good for him and he knows it, but that doesn't make it easy. He asks Michelle to meet him at a coffee shop near the store, so at least he can retreat home if he needs to, but he's hoping he won't. They'll have a conversation and he'll be able to get through it without feeling the need to run home and make sure Jack is still here and tomorrow it will be a little bit easier to do the same.
He's early and he knows it, but rather than go inside and sit down, he paces the sidewalk slowly outside of the cafe and he waits for her. The weather is starting to cool off a little, which Luke usually prefers, but now it only reminds him of Reid. Of their wedding in the snow. Their anniversary is coming up in just over two months, but he's doing his best not to think of that. Not yet. That's still coming.
