______________________<br/><br/>Avi unlocked the door, still on the same stream of conciousness he had been the entire car ride home. He had gone straight from the office to the courthouse, then by the diner to pick Tanis up, and in the attempt not to forget anything he had been speaking them out loud; there was some urgency about him, wanting to get those thoughts onto paper.<br/>"So the point is - the point is," he stuttered, mind catching the moment he had to take off his coat.<br/>From within the house, Sinead called a greeting, further making Avi's mind drift, subconsciously turning towards it.<br/>"Hi, you two," Sinead greeted leisurely from the couch, a magazine in her hand. Though she continued to flip through it, her attention was no longer on it, heartrate immediately quickening. Admitting defeat, she raised her gaze above the edge of the paper, looking through the doorway towards the hallway, knowing it to only be a matter of time before either of them appeared in sight.
