It was late at night. Luna had brought Cerenity to the lounge with the intent to let her burn off some energy. The child flew icecaps around the lounge. Luna shook her head as she watched her child fly. She just wanted to sleep she could not understand how Cerenity had so much energy. She eventually found somewhere to sit and watch.

“Mind if I join you?” Harrington asked as he approached her. The doctor was dressed in nice but casual clothes, and he was holding a steaming cup of coffee in one hand. Whether it was the time of night, or his contrast with Cerenity’s energy, he appeared even more pale and gaunt than he usually did.

“ not at all” she said with a smile. She studied him for a moment. “ are you doing ok” she asked.

David took the seat across from Luna and sighed, rubbing tiredly at his face. “Nothing a cup of coffee and a good nights rest won’t fix,” he looked up and feigned a smile, not wanting to bother her with his problems. He took a sip of coffee and casually changed the topic, “What brings you here this late?”

Lyra shook her head then pointed at her daughter. ” I can’t get her to bed and no one is sleeping in our place until she does. Wonder if I had as much energy as she did. So what’s actually bothering you” Luna asked. She changed the subject back.

“I hope for your sake she burns all that energy off soon,” David chuckled, watching the childs antics. He envied her energy. He was running on next to no energy and he knew it showed. “It would’ve been Bree - I mean Harry’s birthday today,” he said after a moment, “And I’m no closer to finding her than I was when I first arrived here.” he sighed and rubbed his eyes. “I can’t find anyone who knew her except for you. They’ve all left or disappeared. It just feels like a mess! And now my parents want me to come home and start a family as if having a baby is going to replace her somehow!” angrily he wiped a stray tear away. It was a testament to how tired his was that his emotions were so close to the surface. “She’s their daughter and they’re trying to act like she never existed. It’s not right.”

He stopped, realising he’d probably overshared. “Sorry, I haven’t been sleeping well lately,”
