Epilogue, Part III

“No. Absolutely not. There is no way I am letting you waltz back into our lives like nothing happened!”

Adia had brought Caspar home. Specifically, the plot of land she shared with Seth and Maggie, and their baby Jason. Two wooden cabins sat on the property, along with a large garden and an outdoor cooking area. The space had a communal, welcoming feel to it, but unfortunately that was not the impression that Caspar was getting at the moment.

She had expected the yelling, but from Maggie. Instead it was Seth who was red in the face with anger, shouting like a madman as he stormed up to them.

Getting back in touch. ((for rogueinladysclothing))

It has been several days since Adia has been in the Nexus.

Truthfully, her visits to the Nexus this past month have been a little sparse. She spent most of her time working on her new home and processing the emotions unearthed by her time in her Nightmare, making peace with the death of her Cylon ex-boyfriend.

And then her Cylon ex-boyfriend turned out not to be dead after all. And, well...

They had a lot of catching up to do.

But she is in the Nexus now, getting Caspar a PINpoint of his own. On a whim, she decides to get herself a new PINpoint, too, something that looks less like a stopwatch and more like a smartphone. As she transfers over her contact list, she realizes with a guilty start that she hasn't been very good at staying in touch with anyone lately.

Well, no time like the present. She'll start with the first person on her list, Amelia. She's actually seen Amelia a few times in the secluded garden near the library, but they haven't done much more than exchange pleasantries. No mention of what happened at the Halloween party. Adia didn't want to poke at fresh wounds.

But untreated wounds have a bad habit of festering...

Hi, Amelia. Thanks for the books you reserved for me, I'm returning them today. Would you like to meet up somewhere? I have some news to share.
