Late Night Knocking - Peter

[st_hotflashes]

Liz had ended up going out to the spot she had shown Peter months ago and she just sat and thought and cried and repeated. When she finally made it back to the inn, she took a long shower and tried to sleep, but as the night waned on and she continued to toss and turn, Liz found herself in PJ bottoms, Peter's back-up shirt he kept at her place, and his hoodie. She hovered outside his room door wondering if he was asleep. Wondering if she should knock. Wondering.

After a moment, she knocked softly.

It is late, but Peter answers the door almost immediately. He'd stayed up just in case she showed up, and when he heard the knock at the door, he felt relief pool over him. That relief registers on his face the moment he sees Liz standing in the hallway.

"Hey," he says, and he feels embarrassed that it's the only thing he can think to say. "You okay?" That's almost as bad because he's sure she is not.
