Julie stared dumbly at Bobby's email.
He wanted to come and visit.
Julie vaguely noticed a knocking noise and looked down to see that her hands were shaking and tapping the desk. It didn't even register.
It took her some time to compose a response and even after she sent it she wasn't entirely certain what she wrote other than confirmation that he could come over whenever he liked. After which, Julie got up and located Zac.
"Zac, Bobby's going to come visit."
"He is?" Zac asked. "Okay, when?"
Julie shrugged.
"Whenever. He's going to see me and Dax and Cindy."
Zac frowned slightly.
"Julie? Are you okay?"
"Of course I'm okay. Why wouldn't I be okay?" Julie asked sounding slightly hysterical. "Bobby and I talked about this before. He wants to see his daughters and be a part of their lives still, so we've decided to stay friends."
"Sounds wisely," Zac said, nodding slowly but eyeing Julie like she was unstable.
Actually, she probably was.
