They don't have a car. At least, they don't have one that's working. Burr canceled the insurance on it the week after Theodosia died. But he has a bus pass--and even if he doesn't like Theo taking the bus to school, its not so bad if he rides there and back with her.
I'll be there.
He doesn't really know what to with himself, when the time comes. He fusses in the mirror, at the bruise fading on his face. Never as good at makeup as he should be, with a career like his. He changes clothes twice, three times, because he's not used to wearing more than his little robe. He'd been taken on 'dates' before, but, well--
This experience seems so average. Banal. A fitting. He settles on slacks with a button up and sweater. A sweater with a hole in the elbow, hopefully not too noticeable. It's still a good sweater--soft, and a nice shade of plum.
Its a long bus ride, from his part of town to the place Thomas has reserved, and he's five minutes late, by the time he gets off.
