They told him there might be complications, but looking back, Lochlann realized he didn't really know what the doctors had meant by that. He was busy thinking that all of his relationships had become complicated, or maybe they were always this messed up and he just didn't know.
He was sitting at some cafe on the edge of town in a window seat, holding his head in one hand and nursing a cup of coffee in the other. His bad leg was stretched out onto the chair across from him, and occasionally he'd set the coffee down and rub it absentmindedly. He didn't even realize he was doing it; trying to numb the dull ache had become a habit.
He wanted to pour something into his coffee, something to take the edge off, but he couldn't. Right now, Lochlann needed to be sharp. The coffee might have made him jittery, but he was the complete portrait of calm on the outside. It was like any other hunt he'd ever been on.
"Would you like another coffee?" the waitress asked him from behind. Lochlann looked up, flashed her his thousand-watt smile.
"Not yet, thanks. I'm just waiting on someone. infact..". he sat up a little higher in his seat, waving towards the door. "I think that's them now."
