The last time Tadhg had seen Sandy, things didn't leave off on the best of notes. That was about a half a year ago. Before then, they'd been on and off for years, even since their days at Hogwarts. It just never really worked out. He was too busy, his life was incredibly fast-paced. He didn't really know what she was doing when he wasn't around, but it was kind of like out-of-sight-out-of-mind for him, at the time. He knew that she'd be there when he had time, it wasn't until she stopped being there when he felt like fitting her into his schedule that there came a problem. No, he hadn't treated her right. He only realized it once she was really gone, that last time. Sure, they'd fought about it and broken up a ton of times before that one final time, but he always knew it wasn't going to stay that way.
But that last time -- well, it stayed that way. And he missed her. He missed the habits he used to find annoying, he missed just being able to talk to her. He figured that he'd forget about it eventually, but he didn't. She never tried to contact him, though. It was a pride thing, or he might have came back to her sooner. Things were going to be different this time, though. If there was a this time. He took a breath and rapped his knuckles hard against the door. And then he waited.
Tadhg might have even been here even sooner, months ago, if he hadn't heard through the grapevine that Lyssandra was pregnant. Pregnant. If that wasn't repellant, what was? But it sunk in, and it weighed on him, and he decided that a pregnant Lyssandra or a Lyssandra-Having-A-Baby-That-Wasn't-His was better than no Sandy at all. And he'd heard that it was Quirke's, the Hobgoblin, the guy in the year below him at Hogwarts. Seemed like a good enough guy, but he'd also heard that he wasn't stepping up to the plate. Well, Sandy ... he loved her. He had his doubts about that, but he knew it now more than ever. Maybe she needed him now like he discovered that he needed her. Maybe she just didn't know it yet.
And he waited.
