The last few months had been pretty rough for Savannah Davies. For starters, she had turned 30 that year, and while that was extremely young for a witch, it was practically ancient in muggle years. That's how she felt, at least. By the time her mother had turned 30, she was already settled down with a family, and had kids, and was living the life she always hoped she would. Savannah was 30 with a career she hated, living in a one bedroom apartment, and had already been cheated on by one man who was supposed to marry her, and divorced by another man who did marry her.
It was easy to not think about all that for a while, since she had a wonderful man to keep her mind off all that, but that never stopped her from wanting all the things she always thought she would have by the time she was 30. She wanted a family, and even though she had little nieces and nephews roaming around to play with, it wasn't the same as having a child of her own. Leanne was the closest thing she ever had to a daughter once upon a time. She still treated her like family, sending her gifts and cards on birthdays and holidays, but she didn't even see her too often because she didn't know how to be around Seth for a while. She had run into him at games, when the Catapults played the Falcons, and over time she had learned how to put the past behind her and be civil.
Still, she was always reminded of the life she almost had when she was around her ex-husband, and it was just...upsetting. She loved Geoff, she did - there was no denying her feelings for the man, but she was starting to get the impression that he wasn't quite ready to settle down. It wasn't like she wanted to ask, because she was afraid of scaring him away - she did not need another man leaving her because she sounded too clingy or something. Her past relationships had left her tainted, so now she just walked on eggshells in order to make people happy.
But she wasn't happy. And it didn't have anything to do with how Geoff treated her, because he treated her like a damn princess, but she wanted...more. She wanted to have a career she was proud of, and be married, and pop out a million babies with him because damn it, she was already 30. Her biological clock was ticking...or that was how she felt. It was all muggle mentality.
Savannah was sitting cross legged on Geoff's couch as she waited for him to get home, flipping through the classifieds, trying to see who was hiring in her field. A few boxes were circled in red, though when the front door opened, she looked up from what she was doing to acknowledge her boyfriend of 2 years with a small smile.
"Hey," she greeted, rising to her feet, making her way towards him to give him a quick kiss. "I thought you were gonna be home earlier, I kind of made myself at home."
She could have sworn he had told her he would be home at 6, and it had to be at least 7:30 by now.
