Jul. 11th, 2020 10:07 amAlice has a lot of emotions on the best of days.
And lately, the days have not been the best. She's overwhelmed, scared, worried, grateful--so many things swarming around in her mind all the time. Star had exacerbated some of those feelings, and quelled some others.
She closes the downstairs bathroom door, the one that leads to Milliways, and leans against it for a moment. The family is home--she can hear Jasper in their room, probably packing up for their weekend; Rose and Emmett in the living room, watching a movie; Esme painting; Edward in his room and Carlisle--
Her feet move on their own accord as she wanders down the hallway, toward Carlisle's office. Usually she knocks, waits for his okay to answer. Not today--today, Alice just opens the door and steps in, finding Carlisle at his bookcase, flipping through a volume of something or another.
There's a quarter-second of hesitation, and then Alice rushes across the room and throws her arms around Carlisle's waist, hugging him from the side, tightly.
