The Todd *high five* l l Mmmm... bacon. Kenedie Hawthorne had been missing for almost two years, and she found herself sitting in the cafeteria at the Ministry of Magic once more. Her morning back had been a surreal blur. She didn't feel comfortable around people anymore, and she wasn't really sure what she was doing back. Asher had refused to return to school, and she felt as though she should have refused work as well.
She sat alone. Her foot tapped nervously, and small noises made her jump. She felt so different from the way she used to.
She saw a man across the cafeteria that she might have been vaguely interested in before the ordeal. She thought maybe she might have wondered what his past was, why his eyes were guarded. Now? She was scared to think of even talking to a stranger. Would this ever go away?
