I WAS FULLY DRESSED, minus the jacket and tie, as I made my way down the stairs. Kate hadn’t arrived yet, but I heard Linda as she made her way around the kitchen. “Hey,” I said to her with a smile as I walked in.

“Hello,” she said, doing her best to return the smile. Our relationship had become strained at best since she’d found out about Bree, not that I can blame her for that. Still, she stayed, her stoic presence reminding me every day that she was there how much I had done wrong.

Like now, with the look she was giving me.

“Lunch date?” she asked as she wiped down the counter.

“Court house date,” I replied softly, looking down at my shoes.

“Ah.”

That was it. Just ‘ah’. I looked up as she walked over to the door that led to the basement.

Oh... the basement. I’d been unable to bring myself to go down there, and I didn’t want to burden Linda with the task of cleaning up the mess.

“Hey, Linda?” I called out to her, and she looked over her shoulder at me. “Don’t... don’t worry about the basement, okay? I’ll take care of it.” I was beside her then, my hand on the doorknob, a tight smile on my face as I shrugged. “I’d meant to earlier, I just didn’t get around to it.”

“There’s a lot you haven’t gotten around to,” she remarked, stepping away from the door.

“I... I deserve that, I know.” I opened up the door to go down, survey the damage, see what I could pick up while the minutes ticked away.

“Their birth certificates are down there,” she said as she went back to wiping non-existent stains off the counter. “In a box, along with a frame that I’m sure she was looking for.”

Of course... I knew Talia had to have been down there for a reason. She needed their birth certificates, probably other important papers as well. I nodded, thanking Linda, and made my way down the stairs. Was it crazy of me to want to find the papers and bring them to her? I mean, it wasn’t like it was going to win any brownie points in the least, not on a day when she’d consider me the lowest of the low.

No, wait.

I’d already achieved that in her eyes.

Fuck it.

She needed them.

I groaned as I glanced around at the damage we’d inflicted upon that room. Books were thrown about, a stored lamp toppled over, the contents of a folder scattered across the floor.

“Oh, Talli,” I sighed as I stepped around as much as I could, “you’re lucky I love you.”

I stopped abruptly, hearing the crunching of glass under my feet. I looked down, moving a few of the papers out of the way with my feet, my heart constricting as I saw what was underneath.

Our Angel.

She’d been looking for... our Angel?

I knelt down, picking up the shattered frame and its damaged contents in my hand, wincing as a tiny shard of glass punctured my finger.
