His uncle had assured him that she was, that the department's excursion into the mist had accomplished much and Emilia was unharmed...but the word of his uncle was not good enough.

His own eyes were the only proof that would do. And touch, if she were to allow it.

It had been years since they had last been in each other's presence. It was a luxury he dared not indulge for himself, not after what he had done to her, and it was with a sadness as deep as the ocean that they had drifted. Though perhaps it was also necessary, necessary for the both of them to heal.

He sincerely hoped that his arrival here at the British Ministry of Magic did not trespass on her progress and growth.

Arriving at the reception area, Andrei nearly pleaded with the receptionist to send notice to one Emilia Espinosa that she had an urgent visitor. Thankfully, he had been able to collect himself and his emotions, permitting him to ask in a true gentleman's tone.


She didn't get many visitors at work, certainly not the urgent kind. It was why a million possible emergencies were going through her mind as she headed towards the waiting area, many involving her grandmother whose health had been declining recently. This was bad, it had to be bad, and Emilia fully expected to find Rosie waiting for her as she paused by the reception desk, taking a minute to mentally prepare herself for whatever news she was about to get. Only as she lifted her gaze, she did not find her older cousin waiting for her. No, it was someone else, someone she'd convinced herself that she'd never see again, and yet, here he was.

Andrei.

He looked different than she remembered. Older, stronger, more sure of himself. She couldn't help but wonder if the same was true for her. She found herself hoping that it was as she urged her feet to work, her mouth to. The lump in her throat was hard to swallow, but she did. "Hi." It was all she could manage at the moment, but it would have to do. She tucked some of her long brown hair behind her ear and moved closer, allowing herself to take him in. Somewhere in there was the boy she used to know, but that boy seemed so far away now. A distant memory. She wondered who the man that stood in front of her was, and she felt quite sad that she had no idea.

What was he doing here?
